Cunny Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Anyone doing one hand lifts how do you set up I find I get pulled to one side by the weight. If I am doing say right hand liftI set up the bar nearer my right leg and pull to the right hand side of my crotch (being careful not to hit anything at the top).Does this sound right does anyone else feel they are pulled to one side?

David Horne Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Graeme, It always pulls to one side. But try to stay erect as much as possible. Keep your traps tight. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 What are you lifting (I do not mean how much weight) Do you start with the weight at the side or between the legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonL Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have never felt myself being pulled by one side by the weight when doing one handed stuff most of the time. I would say the only exercises I feel that way is doing 1 arm presses/push presses, when standing with the weight overhead will tend to push the other, but I just pull it back or with 1 arm Clubbell exercises..so much torque on these.

Cunny Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 I straddle the bar and pull between the legs,but I may also add some suitcase style deads to try to balance the muscle used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Try keeping the bar more centered between your legs and, if you're not already, press your non lifting hand on the middle of your thigh (on the same side as the non lifting hand) to create more stability.
