Was just curious to know if a barbell hack lift is legit as a deadlift in a power lifting meet. The only diference is the bar is being lifted from behind you instead of as in front with a regular deadlift. Since I can lift 3X bodyweight with the movement was interested to know if it had any value in a comp. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

No, the shoulders must be behind the bar at lockout, I get the bar caught on my ass, no way I would try these in a meet.

Besides maybe a strongman or odd-lift meet no, a few pr's strained something bad in my neck and trap on the 18th and it's still fubar'ed.
