Can you describe bending the bar/activating the lifters wedge for each lift? Especially The Deadlift as I feel I lose all shoulder activation when I revers my grip.

Hello,

Bending the bar comes from your lats, not your hands or forearms.

Watch the videos to give you even more help. This ‘wedge’ applies to all three lifts.

I also go into detail in one of the many added sections in 10/20/Life Second Edition quite a bit as well. But for extreme detail you should read Ultimate back. I’ll link it too: https://www.powerrackstrength.com/product/ultimate-back-fitness-and-performance-6th-edition-2017/
