You commented before on the last set of deads being pretty rough, having never really deadlifted and squatted in the same day. How did it go this time?



Nice vid.

Nice job! Honestly, that pull looked very natural, like you're a good, strong puller. I'm guessing you can hit 500 before too long.

If you want more people to critique, start a new thread that is just about your vid. You'll get more views.

Seriously though, that looked very solid, IMO. Only thing I could say would be, maybe your hips come up too fast b/c you wind up using mostly back on some of those reps, but many people pull exactly like you do (incl. strongmen, PL's, etc.). So, I don't think you've got any major issues. Maybe try to have hips/shoulders coming up at the same rate of speed on all 5 reps. Very natural overall though, IMO. Nicely done. Now post some squat clips!

Maybe I am meant to be a puller...who knows. I just love deadlifting.

Seriously, I will try and work on doing a little more of the work with my legs than doing so much with my back.

Yea, same here, i LOVE deadlifting (this is what is gonna help me beat you to 500 lol).

Yea, u do look like u were meant to be a puller, some people have it, some dont.

Shades, have you ever done lockouts, with bands or the cables? really will help with the lockout part of the lift. Also, since ur on the 5x5 i know u dont have too much to play with, but another good DL excercise is to START standing on mats, maybe like 3 mats piled up. So basically, the DL starts alot lower then the normal, helping the lower part of the lift.

BTW, dont listen to the tips, i wanna be able to atleast hang with you at 500 lol, jk. Thank god i got a fellow DL lover here lol (now that sounded rainbow

I haven't ever really done lockouts for any length of time. As for the mats, we don't have any in the country club of a gym I workout in. They would help because my guess is that when I fail, it won't be on lockout it will be on getting it off the floor. My lower back loves the lockout but my legs don't like to help with the pull off the ground.

Exactly, thats what the mats are for, helping the bottom part of the lift. Yea i figured u dont need help on the lockout since u look solid.

My trouble is always off the floor, never in the lockout either.
