Deadlift training from Andy Bolton's gym.

[Scotsman]

For someone of that bodyweight, no. I'm not arguing with the training regimen though. Yeah, and your right. I'll forgive the fashion

Well considering 99%+ of the population can't do it for one...

Plus who know what all else they did that day.

Cheers,

I thought they seemed like a fun bunch.
I'd love to join them for a training session.

Shit yeah that would be great. Andy had an open call for a training partner a while back. He wanted people who were serious, dedicated, and ready to train like monsters. If I lived in the UK I would have gone.

They do intend to start with a rounded upper back. As somebody said, it is about shortening the distance that you have to pull the weight.

Pulling from knee height is standard practice for Andy and something he highly recommends. Typically pulls from mid or low shin. Deep squats take care of the bottom of the competition deadlift.

Lastly, there were a good number of those lifts being done for speed not weight. That is standard practice in powerlifting.

They dont intend on starting the lift w/ a rounded back, but it eventually becomes physics. when what your holding weighs 2-3x more than you it becomes harder to hold a straight back. But when your getting to the 600 lb mark, trust me you didnt get there overnight. by the time your there your back is strong enough that it does not injure you, it becomes natural. And I'm sorry, but the vid didn't impress me a whole lot, half the guys were starting at their knees, and the one who actually managed to pull 600 weighed about 280-300 lbs. They'd feel pretty dumb if one of us walked up to the bar all calm and cool, and banged out 500/12. And we wouldn't need to scream and wear goofy looking shit either,hahahhaha.
