[kazuya]

Good job man thats some big weight

 

[ErikZ]

Wow
GReat lift shades =D

 

[silver_shadow]

good stuff shades... 500 coming up in no time
form looked good too.

 

[Tweakle]

good pull, you have more in you with some modifications

legs straightend too fast so you need to 'hump' the weight to lockout - feet danced a little bit then but not bad. Those shoes are not helping one bit, chuck T;s will give more more stablity

the over/under thing - If you ditch the straps you can dive the weight and spend less time hunched over before the pull.. or keep the straps and pull double over so there's less torque

yea shades, i cant stay low like u did and still have explosive power, next time just rip that shit up

 

[djeclipse]

You guys are competing with straps?

that's a good question, was tehre any mention of "aids" like straps, belts etc.?

I doubt it'll really be an issue. Deads are a lot more "equipment-proof" than squats and bench. I think there are still special suits, briefs and other stuff that powerlifters use for deads, but the effect is nothing like what the PL gear/form can add to the other two lifts. Plus, I doubt Mike or Shades will be throwing down the cash for something like that just to win this bet.

LOL true CS. i dont feel the equipment helps too much on this lift, except the belt, thats probably because my midsection is my weaker area.

but straps IMHO, i dont use them only to sttregnhten my grip, otherwise, i would use em,

but i doubt shades needs em, just so he doesnt fuck his hands up

You're quick off the floor, 500 looks darn close. Legit question: what's the point of the over/under grip with straps?

 

[Shades McCool]

Just the way I learned to do it in the sixth grade and I am very comfortable that way.
