Proper deadlift pulling technique and preventing injuries

Good points. Were pretty much in agreement. Maybe there are some cases where 3.5 inches could be beneficial for a lifter? Really I only know whats worked for me, and of what Ive heard others say has worked for them. Its always very difficult to find that optimum posistion. Has any of us really found it? Yes, I believe thats why Im so much stronger with the beast lift, no body parts in the way. More of a straight line. Of course with regular deadlifts it becomes more of a problem. Have never tried sumo style, so maybe that fixes the problem? Not sure, since it feels so awkward to me.

You are right on the money there. The sumo style reduces that distance by 20-25 %, which is nice, however it also shifts the emphasis from your back to your hips, so its a tradeoff. Its definitely something everyone should try, because in some cases, thats where your max lifts will be. Not a lot of world records are set sumo style compared to the regular DL, but if you have the body for it, it could work out real well.

Anabolicmd: your citations do not prove or disprove the starting position.

I'll have to take B Fold's article with mention to Dr. Siff over your strength coach. Dr. Siff is more well respected and back by numerous research.

You provide no answers to your argument, and everyone should take offense because it is BAD advice.

B Fold's accomplishments are fact. What numbers have you posted? And, in many Eastern Bloc countries, you are not allowed to give advice unless you are master/elite level. You just proved why.

If you are going to run your mouth, give hard evidence. Not heresay of you being trained by this great strength coach. It is meaningless when you are behind a computer screen.

B Fold's points are backed up by the strongest lifters in the world. Enough said.

Thanks. The clown one is kind of subtle. It helps if you are somewhat familiar with Lon Chaney. The idea of a clown standing in the moonlight is very creepy to me, kind of Mike Myers-ish (from "halloween", not SNL, lol). So Lon Chaney saying that to me signifies that he really understood fear and the human mind. Just picture a clown, with an expressionless face staring off into space in the moonlight...brrrr...

Well I prefer to do my olys with the bar over the balls of my feet.

I have found that if the bar starts too close to the shins, it will swing out and then back - off course this depends on the person, and this is the worst case of all the options.

Well, keeping the bar close does require that you work on it. Your body will always tend to go out of form, especially as you near maximim weights. That is why it is important to focus and maintain concentration and proper tecnique for the entire duration of the lift.
