I know there have been topics before related to this, but I do not feel that they've clarified the different aspect that I am interested in.
Often I have heard that the level that I am at I do not need any variations of the mainlifts, but only to keep hammering them. A few months ago I used to be weak off the floor in a deadlift, after doing lots of decifit pulls I have completely crushed that sticking point and find now that instead I am weak at the lockout of the lift, or rather middle point. My sticking point has shifted.
This is the first sticking point I got through, when it comes to the squat and the bench much improvement to the sticking points have not been made, I still have it midway through the lift on both.
My question is as follows, should I start incorporating variations to deal with these issues? I have seen little to none improvement by only hammering the form of the lifts.
And what would be the proper variations for countering these sticking points?
For the deadlift I have figured out that deadlifting from boxes and pausing at the knees help with the lockout form and strength. But as for the squat and benchpress I am more unsure. I would guess or assume that box squats and chainssquats would suit me more to help me active the glutes and sit back better as well as building a stronger lockout-speed from the hole.
Regarding the benchpress I have only guessed that dead-start(bench resting on the safety rack), band and chains would help me ( I do not have any boards).
Any suggestions?
Films of all the lifts are in the log.
