Lean over more for longer. Heavy toes. Ski jump!
Go smooth rather than slow.
Narrower stance than Deadlift.
Faster off the floor.
Wider feet when receiving the bar on the delts. Think NFL catcher.

Use a wider grip than Deadlift.

Summary
All good.
Well worth travelling the 3.5 hours to Norwich.
In person still works better than online.
Got back fine thanks to Lynette. She gave me a whole bunch of reading homework to do on the way back. It’s not often I get a couple of hours, unrestricted, with someone of that background.
Need to bring a van full of strongman kit next time.
