Def. will do with the wider stance. I don't believe in the "one foot in front of the other" either, it would IMO make your stabilizer muscles lop-sided because of the stance.

Reaching lockout really just targets your delts, not triceps. I love it. As you look in the mirror you see the bar waving back and forth thereby destroying your delts. One nice long static hold. That's a trick John Parrillo teaches. :cool:

I've tried doing this a couple times. I think what I'll do is hold for 30 sec. and then do the DC stretching next time.

I was mostly doing it to try and find the weight I could use for a straight 5x5.. One day I'll feel strong on this lift and decide to go up after a couple :cool: and other days I get over zealous and over shoot. :o I'm still new to doing this exercise so I think I need to just be patient and slowly increase the weight so I can work on form.
