It's the Avishek deadlift, but he did it with a depth drop as well.

Well a silly PR is still a PR which is still progress, and that's what we care about.

thats where a 40" SVJ comes from.
Respeck. If you ever wanna try your hand at internet coaching im putting my hands up as a keen volunteer. Would love to have VMO's like that, i didnt' even know such a muscle existed lol
That's more a function of Kingfish's awesome dorsiflexion ability.

In my opinion there isn't too much sense in doing calf raises for such low rep ranges... the ROM is very limited and the TUT is very short for each rep in the calf raise. Compare the TUT of a rep (in time) of squats vs the TUT of a rep of calf raises... there's no comparison.
That's why it's better to go with 15-20 reps. As far as TUT goes (total set time) - 15-20 reps of calf raises is similar to 5-8 reps of squats I guess.

I'm actually reading through Kelly's book before deciding what exactly I need/will do. I'm also started watching all his episodes of mobility wod on youtube.

It doesn't matter who brings the message. What matters is if he's right or not.

I can do overhead squats "good enough". I can go all the way down in a full squat with O-lifting shoes on but only with a light bar (10 kg).

I don't know but the more I think about it... the more I'm starting to believe there's something in my hip mobility/flexibility that is the culprit.
That and general core/lowerab strength. It's the same thing that makes me look at the ground when I jump off two feet. I have to make a conscious effort to stay with a vertical back as in a front or high bar squat. My natural tendency is to look at the ground and bend forward, like in a low bar squat or a deadlift.
It's really depressing because I haven't been able to figure this out in so much time... years basically. I haven't found anybody to give me good ideas and perspectives either.
