Holy fuck deadlift PR!

[Tom Treutlein]

Wow! I never was taught how to deadlift properly, but I kind of just discovered what I was doing wrong which allowed me to lift 95+ more than I normally did! I was doing 160 for 12-15 reps, and my back kept feeling like it was getting pinched. I never realized that the shoulders go over the bar. No wonder I sliced my shins up trying to keep them behind and thought I could only do conventional deadlifts!

DC style training, and today I just did 255 for 11 reps.

I feel like a moron. At least I know how to deadlift now!

nice
much bigger poundages are going to follow with the new form

Shoulders over the bar? They should stay behind the bar.

Congrats on the PR btw! And here's a good link: http://www.t-mag.com/articles/194dead.html

yeah dude- like backlash said- shoulders behind the bar on deads- your shins are supposed to get sliced up... shoulders in front on olympic lifts only...

 

[needsize]

it was the same for me, when I first started doing deads i was doing them more like a stiff legged one, I got strong fast but then plateaued for the longest time. once I learned to do them right, my strength went nuts

awesome job bro!!!

Well I deadlift with shoulders over the bar - I do clean deadlifts. Its much like doing an RDL from the floor.

I also line up my shins to the smooth area so no tearing

I personally think the shoulders behind the bar style isn't as useful for non-powerlifters

Congrats on the PR brother!! Huge increase! The better you learn the technique , the more of a strength increase youll see. I dont tear my shins up when I deadlift either. Im not too sure where my shoulders are in relation to the bar, since I dont have any video of my lifts. I basically blackout during my deadlifts. Keep it up!!

i shot some video of me deadlifting a month or two ago, but i shot it in too high of resolution and can NOT post it online because of it (we're talking 20mb+ files).

i'm going to have to shoot some video again soon and get a good critique.

nice job on the PR, btw.

Just use Windows Movie maker (in XP) to recompress in WMV format, that will shrink it down 10 times smaller

 

[Buddy_Christ]

i don't have XP.

hell, i don't even run windows anymore. yet i have no clue how to use the linux programs that do the same thing. sucks to be a non-programmer running a programmer's OS.

I look forward to seeing some video of your lifts! I still want to get some up of my deadlifting, and now that Im back again (deadlift-wise) I may shoot some stuff and post it. It may just be heavy rack pulls, and partial beast lifts off the rack for the time being. Since I dont want to deadlift off the floor just yet. That extra few inches could cause a problem for the moment. I was thinking of posting a video of my full routines. 6-8 hours in length, including rest time for the non believers, but the file would be massive. Ill get some footage eventually! Keep it up brother!! Your getting fucking strong!!
