Dead PR

[JOKER47]

Pulled 475lbs yesterday. It looks a little ugly, *LOL*, but the 455lbs right before this pull was much cleaner than the last time.

Thanks to B-Fold for hosting the vid for me.

[t3c]

[Zander1983]

That's a nice improvement and lift. When was the last deadlift PR?

 

[needsize]

great pr bro

 

[Scotsman]

Nice job. I usually try and get my hips lower at the start and keep my head up more. Don't know if that will help you but still anything that comes up is a great pull in my book.

Cheers,

Spatts/Needsize> Thanks guys.

T3C> Thanks. I just converted over to Olympic. My "custom-super-unbendable" bar I had finally bent...*LOL* The one in the vid is the oly 1500lbs rated bar. I really like it.


Zander> Back around February 20th or so I got 455lbs. I really want/need 500+ by August.


Scotsman> I have been really focusing on just that the last couple months. I think I'm getting better, but still have room for improvement. For a while there, my legs were almost completely straight for most of my deadlifts.

Thanks for the comments guys and gals.

Joker, be careful you don't get too low. I am extremely flexible therefore can get really low but it starts pulling my body way forward when the weight really settles in on me. Just try and find your power zone.

Thanks for the tip. I have been experimenting a little with stance, grip width and dropping my butt.

So far, the little bit farther I have gotten my butt down at the start of the lift has helped keep my back from rounding as bad as it has before.


Thanks again,
Joker

Scheizze that's one impressive deadlift. Keep up the good work.

 

[WarriorPL]

Big PR there... nice struggle too.

 

[revexrevex]

that was pure power bro

 

[BigBadBootyDaddy29]

Nice PR

 

[revexrevex]

would that be legal in powerlifting competition, with multiple knee rebends?

 

[JOKER47]

would that be legal in powerlifting competition, with multiple knee rebends?

I was actually informed tonight that the "hitching" as I was told it's called, is NOT acceptable in competition. In competition, the bar cannot stop moving. When I was "hitching", the bar stops, then starts, then stops, then starts, etc.....

Most of my PR's are a little ugly like this one. But, I was told that this ugly 475 PR was actually "prettier" than the REALLY ugly 455 PR a few months ago. *LOL*

I pulled 455 just before the 475 yesterday, and it went very smooth all the way through the lift.

[CipherLock]

whoa - I've never actually seen hitching before.

Great job on the 475 - feels nice don't it?

+ that's an awsome set up you've got.

 

[IronLion]

nice effort, that is what the dl is all about...it may have been a little ugly but you stayed with it and didn't drop out cause it didn't come up clean...

 

[JollyRogers]

Your head looked like it was going to fly off your shoulders there, in mid lift, glad your still in one piece.
