DieselWeasel's Lifting Journal

[DieselWeasel]

Just now watched that deadlift vid



First stop watching the camera and get your head up. Your back was rounded quite a bit there, get your ass down and head up. And lock it out next time in a pl meet they wouldnt have counted that.

It felt locked out when I did it. :(

I don't intend to compete in any PL meets. They're too strict. :D

Reverse grip being double underhand? Or one over one under(alternate) ?

[DieselWeasel]

Reverse grip being double underhand? Or one over one under(alternate) ?

I used double overhand for every set except for the last one in which I used an alternate grip (one over, one under.)

[AJ010]

Oh alright, the part where you said reverse grip confused me, but I get what you mean now.

That's a sweet hold! You should try to see the most you can just pick up double overhand from a 2" rom...just for fun :p

Where do you start your static holds from (knees, thighs, etc.) in the power rack?

Last time I just did a hold...I did it with about 4-5" range of motion...so it was upper thighs.

haha same here bro. 185 2x5 is hell for me

[DieselWeasel]

When I do barbell rows, I'm not completely bent over. That's probably why I use more weight than you guys.

Nice lifting man. Currently going through withdrawl myself. I'm taking a week off before I do FI Bench Routine (knee is being a bugger {getting it checked out Friday, hope everything's ok}, and I could use the rest).

That video was NUTS! That db went up so fast. I've never even heard of that lift!

Just wondering, what do you do for your static holds? Just lift the bar a few inches and set it back down? Do you use gloves/chalk or anything?

[DieselWeasel]

I don't use gloves, only chalk.

Yeah, the ROM is very short. I just lift the barbell a few inches, lock it out and hold it for as long as possible.

I just do those at the end of a heavy shrug workout. Since the cambered bar at my gym has a very rough grip I had to start using gloves to make the pain in my hands bearable :(

on your rack dead video.

1- stop screaming. you lose all your abdominal pressure that way which causes your core to not remain solid.when you lose core pressure your back is supporting the entire weight- not a good thing.
2- you are still not locking it out all the way. leaning back is not locking out- your knees are still bent when you do that. Stand up straight. If you can't pull your shoulders back to a normal position and stand straight, then the weight is too heavy.
3- you will make much better progress if you lose the ego of lifting heavy and work on your form. Form alone will eventually increase your lifts. Lifting the way you are is not going to give you continued progress.

This is not meant to be a criticism, just advice. You have the potential to be very strong but you need to be smarter about it.

1) It's hard to avoid screaming when lifting 475lbs. You ever try it?

2) It looks locked out to me when I look at the vid and my friend (in the background of the vid) said that it was perfect right after the lift. He's been lifting for 22 years in the gym and at meets, so he knows what he's talking about.

3) I'll stick with heavy weights for the most part. Thanks anyway.

Danimal, theres absolutely no use in trying to give this guy advice. He just doesnt want to listen. He thinks hes doing things perfectly and those of us who see the REALITY of his lifts, KNOW that sooner or later he will pay for his terrible mistakes.

DieselWeasel, that guy you talk about whos been lifting 22 years, is either ignorant of what good form really is, or just letting your bad lifts slip because he doesnt want to break your little heart and say they suck. Either way, he is NOT being your friend and you should find someone different to help you and judge your lifting form.
Im actually sorry that you just wont take the advice cuz I would REALLY enjoy seeing you break those PRs with good form. Too bad you got banned from one of the best places on the net to get advice from (www.ironaddicts.com).
Plus, nobody is telling you NOT to use heavy weight. We are all just saying that you should learn proper form and THEN break your PRs. But oh well, why do I keep wasting my time on you?

[Brego]

Diesel... I had to drop my squats down a ridiculous amount of weight when I was told I wasn't going down nearly far enough..

Make sure you can do the lift with good form, not only will yo umake better progress, but it will prevent you from injuring yourself in the future.

nice pull diesel

knees looked locked out to me

i think that leaning back is unnecessary tho

[waitlifter82]

I like you're warmup on squats (95x1):) That 20 repper looks brutal.....

Also, nice job on the rack pulls..... IMO, your knees locked out

[DieselWeasel]

nice pull diesel

Yeah, I know that I didn't need to lean back. At the time, I just wanted to be 100% positive that I finished the lift.

waitlifter82: Thanks, bro.

Yeah, 20 rep squats kill me. That's a good thing. :)

[Danimal]

1) It's hard to avoid screaming when lifting 475lbs. You ever try it?

Um, yes. 475 is usually my last warmup weight before my work sets, pulled from the ground, with good form, and no screaming.

[DieselWeasel]

Um, yes. 475 is usually my last warmup weight before my work sets, pulled from the ground, with good form, and no screaming.

What's your height, weight and max DL?

[Wheelies]

Um, yes. 475 is usually my last warmup weight before my work sets, pulled from the ground, with good form, and no screaming.
Yeah, me too, but only when Im doing 20 rep deads.

[Danimal]

What's your height, weight and max DL?

What difference does that make? You asked if I've ever done 475 before. I do 475 all the time. To answer your question, I'm 6', 250, and 42 yrs old. My best meet DL is 580. Nothing special. But it was done with good form and was passed by the judges. I've also had 610 just short of lockout at a meet and I've done 685 from the knee.

[tonguey]

i think that leaning back is unnecessary tho

It IS VERY necessary to HIM because if he doesnt lean back, he wont LOOK as if he locked out, which he didnt.

[DieselWeasel]

Dude, you're not too bright, are you? Watch the 475 rack pull video again. My knees aren't locked out? If they were locked out any more than they were, my knee joints would reverse on me.

If they were locked out any more than they were, my knee joints would reverse on me.I agree that your knees were locked out, but I also agree that you shouldnt be resting it on your thighs like that to get it up.

[ratmonkey]

diesel, you really, really need to correct your form. your lifting style IS going to land you some serious back, knee, shoulder problems very soon.

and everyone praising his lifts, you have no idea how much of a laughing stock you people really are.

What's with these exercises dude, are you trying to train for strongman competitions? If you're trying to grow you might want to re-evaluate some of your techniques.

[DieselWeasel]

What's with these exercises dude, are you trying to train for strongman competitions? If you're trying to grow you might want to re-evaluate some of your techniques.

1) I like doing a wide array of training methods: powerlifting, strongman, grip training, olympic lifting, bodybuilding

This is to ensure that I have all-around strength and size. I don't compete in any strongman competitions or powerlifting meets, etc.

2) What's wrong with the exercises that I do on Grip/Abs/Misc. day? :confused:

[Hoss D]

I'm not going to tell you what to do, you do whatever you want.

[DieselWeasel]

I'm not going to tell you what to do, you do whatever you want.

What's your advice?

[Hoss D]

I don't think my advice would be beneficial to you in any way because you have different goals than myself. While my method may help you get bigger, they may not help you progress in certain areas that are more important to you. If you're seeing gains performing these exercises, then stick with it.

OK. So, you're more into bodybuilding than anything else?

[Hoss D]

Correct, however I do think it is important to be strong. Alot of my sets are only 4-5 reps, so I do train for strength as well.

[tonguey]

Even if your knees were close to lockout, it doesnt count for ****, since you only could get there by resting the bar on your thighs and leaning backwards like you were doing a backflip. Its not a complete and correct lockout.
Ask anyone with even a LITTLE common sense and lifting knowledge and they will tell you ALL of your lifts SUCK not just that one. Unless their trying to be your butt buddies like the dude who trains with you and supposedly knows it all.

IMO, if he's not planning on competing, and just lifting for strength and satisfaction, he can have some leeway in his form, such as hitching, resting the bar on thighs, etc. I don't recommend dangerous form though, but if dangerous form is used to get the lift, I will count the lift. But I don't recommend it.

If you don't like my lifts, you know what you can do: Get the **** out.

Look at this:

[DieselWeasel]

How is that a good lockout?! Conveniently the plate is blocking most of below the knee but I can tell you're not using proper form just from the fact that your entire body is leaning backwards, but your feet don't line up with the rest of your body. Therefore, you are not locked at the knees in the pic and from leaning back from the knee up you are resting it on your thigh.


Why should we get the **** out because you're polluting the internet with a horrible example of form for beginning lifters (maybe not an example they would follow, as you clearly are a beginning lifter as well).

Everything you stated was total BS.



mygfisbetter -nice lifts man, you gotta have respect for anyone putting up that kinda weight!


Just kidding, you lifts suck!

Bahahahahahahhaha! Owned!


That was just plain retarded.

I have tried to keep it civil with you Weasel, yet you dont do the same. That and the fact you cant even see your own mistakes just shows your stupidity and immaturity, and as Iron Adict said, Im now sure you have dropped one of those lame DB snatches on your moronic head.

Send us vids too when youre on a wheelchair for life please, theres a ton of exercises you can still do while on one of those.

And to all the begginers who view this guys videos, be smart, open your eyes and NEVER do ANYTHING remotely similar to what this guy does. Thats if you want to get big and stay healthy of course. If you want to injure yourself at a young age and be the laughing stock of your gym, then go right ahead and follow his dumbassed footsteps.

Go away. You're unwanted.

[DieselWeasel]

i really do think they should make his vids a sticky on the other boards....

For beginners with form question... WHAT NOT TO DO:

Why haven't you been banned yet?

[DieselWeasel]

Here's a pic of the 5" X 1/4" hex-head grade-2 bolt that I bent yesterday in the gym:

[Armwrestler]

You're unwanted... like i said, the best part of you ran down your mother's leg.

I think you are extremely not professional! Stop all the nonsensical posts! Even if you want to attack diesel's form or anything else, stop the insults! You can bash all the way, I do not care, but don't you start these ungentlemanly behaviour, dudee!

As for diesel, good luck with your training! Form-wise, do indeed try and listen to constructive advice, but not insults or anything like that.

[Wheelies]

Wow.

Diesel man, Ive always been cool with you, but you are seriously wrong on this. Ive seen your vids on atleast 3 different forums, and not one post was positive. Ive been telling you for weeks that on the big 3 lifts form should be good, no cheating. Especially when going for a 1 rep PR. Doing 1 rep doesnt build muscle, nor does it build strength effeciently, the only reason to do 1 rep, is to see how strong you are at a maximal effort. So, if you are doing it with poor form, whats the point? None of your lifts would count in a powerlifting meet. No one is really impressed on the internet when they see your form. I mean, the numbers are big for a 150lber, but once you see the video, its easy to see that you cant handle the weight with good form. I know its hard to admit when you are wrong, but you should scale back on the poundages and work on form.

Doing 1 rep doesnt build muscle, nor does it build strength effeciently, the only reason to do 1 rep, is to see how strong you are at a maximal effort. So, if you are doing it with poor form, whats the point? None of your lifts would count in a powerlifting meet. No one is really impressed on the internet when they see your form. I mean, the numbers are big for a 150lber, but once you see the video, its easy to see that you cant handle the weight with good form. I know its hard to admit when you are wrong, but you should scale back on the poundages and work on form.

Go away. You're unwanted.

But OF COURSE Im not wanted. Im not suckin up to you saying "good lifts man!" like a lot of these ppl are, so of course youre not gonna want me here.
That doesnt change the fact that youre the one whos oh so wrong and Im just trying to help you see how. Even if that makes me unwanted.

I agree with Powerman4000 in that your videos should be made into a sticky for beggining lifters on what NOT to do. It would be a great learning tool for anyone with enough sense to see what you did wrong, instead of being blinded by a high amount of weight like a few of the ppl in here are.

Good job bending the nails, that must take some grip strength and Im sure I couldnt bend a needle. As Ive said before, youre a strong guy and nobody can take that away from you. The bad part is that youre totally and utterly misguided by your own ego.

Step by step advice, once again:

1. Drop the weight
2. Learn and keep good form at ALL times (maxing out or not)
3. Increase weight slowly
4. Make new videos of you BUSTING those PRs with squeaky ****in clean form, and stick it in the face of everyone who flamed you all over the friggin internet, and title the video "MAX's REDEMPTION".

Shouldnt take more than two months to do that whole process.

this is a great example of how to critisize constructively. Powerman on the otherhand was a known troll who used 2 names in this thread alone, and has been dealt with. Anyone who comes JUST to flame will be dealt with the same.....constructive = good, flame = ban.

[Wheelies]

Dude, I agreed with you before that my form needed work. Why are you posting this now? Check this thread for my reply to that post.
Because you still continued to post videos of the same type of form even after that discussion, and you are arguing with people saying that your form isnt bad, when you know it is. While, I think some people are being dickheads too much, overall, they are correct.

Yeah, bending is fun except when the nail or bolt doesn't bend. ;)

Everything sounds good except for that sticky idea.

BPP: Thanks for cleaning house. :)

03/18/05 - Legs

OK, I lied about doing all 20 reps before racking the barbell. But I did do a lot better than last week. So, that's cool. :cool:

Tomorrow afternoon @ 12:30 is the Big Apple Grapple in Manhattan. It's the biggest NYC armwrestling event of the year. I'll be there only as a spectator with my younger brother because I've never been to any other NYC armwrestling tournaments. This will be my first one. I might possibly compete in one of the smaller competitions, later in the year. If anyone is around the NYC area and wants to see a great show of strength, be there! :)

"Death March" Squats: 205X20*
* 18 reps / racked for ~20 seconds / 1 rep / racked for ~10 seconds / 1 rep

Barbell Calf Raise: 135X8, 225X8, 295X10

Barbell Walkout: 225, 315, 410

SLDL**: 135X8, 225X6, 340X5
** These were done in the lowest hole of the squat rack.

nice workout bro...work the walkouts heavier, theyll help your squat stability

my squat is only low 400's, but ive walked out over 800

Wheelies: They're correct about the 425 deadlift and 300 squat videos. However, I don't see anything wrong with the other vids, including the 475 rack pull. Do you?Yes, you were resting it on your thighs, its ok to touch the thighs, but no resting and hitching it up.

[DieselWeasel]

Yes, you were resting it on your thighs, its ok to touch the thighs, but no resting and hitching it up.

I'm not going to argue about this anymore. I know that there was no resting or hitching involved in the rack pull and that's that.

BPP: Holy crap! I can't imagine using ~600lbs with the walkouts. I probably do even less movement than you do too. In the squat rack, I unrack the barbell, walk backwards to the back of the rack, touch the end of the rack, then walk forwards to the front of the squat rack and rack the barbell. How do you do your walkouts?

Nice workout there.

I don't think I was leaning back, like when I did the 475 rack pull. Besides that difference, it felt the same to me. I locked it out (knees straight) and there wasn't any hitching. I think I was turning red though. :o

sweet ass farmers man. impressive

Thanks. I would recommend starting with 3/16" steel stock. You should be able to find nails of that size at most hardware stores. Start with 6" or 7" length and try to bend shorter and shorter pieces of steel. Once you can bend a 5" X 3/16" piece without much difficulty, get 1/4" nails and/or bolts. Use the same principal of longer to shorter to make progress. I currently can't bend much more than a 5" X 1/4" hex-head grade-2 bolt. I also need to get more nails and bolts soon too.

Here are two more options:

You could get the IronMind Bag of Nails @ http://www.ironmind.com/

OR

You could get one of two different Bender's Bags @ http://fatbastardbarbellco.com/BENDERSBAG.html

Here's a good link for more info on bending:

have you bent the yellow yet? i saw u missed it last time u tried.

on the site it says a 7'' 1/4'' HRS is equal to a yellow nail. and i couldnt put a dent in it. fresh i may be able to put a tiny bend in er.
my bro put a tiny bend in it with bracing.
the yellow is a hell of a nail eh?

i cant wait to get to a 6'' 1/4'' HRS. be so sweet.

im gonna give a 7.5'' 1/4'' piece a go tomorrow. i really wanna bend something thats 1/4''.

and im picking up some more steel tomorrow. im gonna need quite a bit more 3/16'' for warmups and for working up to the 1/4''

bending is awsome. i wanna bend constantly now and its only my first day. its hard to take it slow :)

I haven't bent the yellow nail yet. It's a tough S.O.B. However, I'm able to bend a 5.33" X 1/4" grade-2 bolt. It's weird how I can bend one and not the other, though they have the same diameter.

I don't bend more than once per week and wouldn't recommend you doing it more often than that. You can really hurt yourself if you don't give your hands and wrists time to heal properly.

probly has somethin to do with the grade of the bolt.

im just gonna give the 7.5'' 1/4'' a go tomorrow then only bend once or twice a week after that.

If it's made out of steel it depends largely on the carbon content of the iron. More carbon = stronger but less ductile.

Tormented: Thanks for the info.

04/01/05 - Legs

I didn't include any walkouts because I was exhausted. This was due to the fact that it felt waaay too hot in the weight room even before I began lifting and I was also wearing a t-shirt instead of a wifebeater which made it worse.

My squats were terrible. I will definately squat at least 305, next leg day. :mad:

Squat: 135X6, 185X4, 235X2, 275X1, 315X0, 305X0, 305X0, 305X0 :mad:

SLDL: 135X8, 240X6, 345X4
- These were done in the lowest hole of the squat rack.

Barbell Calf Raise: 135X8, 225X8, 300X8

04/03/05 - Push

I didn't have enough time to try rack lockouts instead of weighted dips because the weight room was closing. I'll try that exercise next push day.

Flat Barbell Bench Press: 125X6, 175X2, 225X0 (not warmed-up enough yet), 200X1, 220X1, 230X1* :eek:
* The last set was difficult because my left arm went up after my right arm instead of together, but I still managed to lock it out.

Seated Dumbbell Press: 30sX8, 50sX4, 70sX4**
** I had a little help from my spotter on the last rep.

04/04/05 - Pull

Today, I decided to do zercher deadlifts instead of barbell rows for a change.

Rack Pull: 225X4, 315X2, 405X1, 445X1, 485X1, 495X0
- slightly below whole knee cap

Chin-Up: BWX6, BW+40X4, BW+85X3

Zercher Deadlift: 135X1, 225X1
video: http://maxbm.net/max_zercherDL_225.WMV

Barbell Shrug: 135X8, 250X8, 365X12*
* mixed grip (6L, 6R) on last set

Barbell Curl: 65X8, 95X4, 120X3**
** The first three reps of the last set were relatively strict and after the third rep, my arms were shot and I didn't want to cheat up the fourth rep.

[GmoneyJakee]

Yeah, that sounds more or less like what I'll do for squats, next leg day.

Thanks. I did that without a belt because of how awkward the exercsise is to perform, especially at the start of the lift. I feel like the belt constricts my movement too much and prevents me from getting as low as possible for that exercise.

i started doing some lever work also. i use a 5lb plate taped to the end of my bat lol. i do sledge twists and rear levers, my left is extremely weak at the sledge twists so i think those are gonna help my bending a lot.

http://www.cyberpump.com/gallery/album166 check out this guys vids, hes crazy.

im still experimenting im not even sure what style i like best or whats my strongest.

[AJ010]

You are dropping your arm too low on the lever. Join the gripboard
and learn the proper form.

Chuck.

Bump.

But nice pinch grip sets.

[AJ010]

BTW, when did you squat 305? I cant find it in your journal anywhere.

[DieselWeasel]

BTW, when did you squat 305? I cant find it in your journal anywhere.

I did the 305 squat yesterday. I need to post my leg day and today's pull day too.

Porky: Sorry, I forgot to mention the DieselCrew bending article.

Thanks for the vid link.

The bending style that I use is usually double overhand. You?

[AJ010]

Congrats. Add it in.

[Porky]

i dont know. i seem to go more for double overhand.

but when i first kinked the 7.25'' 1/4'' i had to use verticle style.

and today i had to use double underhand for an 8'' piece

lol so i dunno. im still experimenting

[DieselWeasel]

Congrats. Add it in.

Honestly, I have NO idea how you squatted 305....I gotta say you have some major balls and courage to go for a 305 squat after missing it 3 times and then getting it, I could never do that!

Congrats on the rack pull and zercher deadlift prs bro

Congrats on the rack pull and zercher deadlift prs bro

Thanks. Yeah, that last squat attempt surprised the hell out of me too.

04/10/05 - Push

Today, I had the same problem with the bench press that I had last week. Basically, my right side seems slightly stronger than my left side and that's screwing my form because the right is going up faster than the left when I bench.

Flat Barbell Bench Press: 115X6, 145X4, 175X2, 205X1, 235X0, 235X1

Clean and Press: 95X6, 115X4, 135X1, 165X3

Rack Lockout (new): 95X1, 135X1, 225X1, 275X5
- These were done in the 9th hole of the squat rack.

[AJ010]

Nice benching bro, very nice pr.. Regularly hit up my journal big guy. :cool:

[Brego]

Good workout, but what exactly is a rack lockout?

[lifter06]

Good looking workouts man, congrats on all the recent prs. And BW+85 for 4 on chins? Just sick...

[DieselWeasel]

Good workout, but what exactly is a rack lockout?

It's basically the upper portion of a bench press in a squat rack.

This is more or less what it looks like:
http://www.leehayward.com/pics/racklockout.jpg

I think my range of motion was a little more than what is demonstrated in that pic.

Try it! :)

UnlimitedSteele: Thanks, bro. Sorry about the lack of posts. My classes are keeping me really busy lately.

lifter06: Thanks. Those chins take so much out of me.

[DieselWeasel]

04/14/05 - Grip

Bending:
whiteX1
greenX1
boltX0*

* I later realized that this was one of the CRS bolts which makes it a hell of a lot harder than the normal HRS bolts that I've successfully bent in the past.

Plate Pinch:
two 10sX2
three 10sX1
two 25s X 3/4 rep with right hand and 0 with left
four 10sX3**

** The four 10s set was a PR because of more reps per hand than before.

Rolling Thunder***:
90X1
115X1
145X1
175 X 2L and 1R

*** The poundage lifted does not include the Rolling Thunder handle and loading pin which is ~5 or 6lbs.

- I also did some crush grip work with my grippers (regular reps and negatives.)


04/15/05 - Legs

Barbell Squat:
150X6
190X4
230X2
270X1
310X2

2nd Pin: 240X1, 250X1
3rd Pin: 275X1
4th Pin: 295X1
- These were all done in the squat rack.

Barbell Calf Raise:
135X8
225X8
305X12

[DieselWeasel]

04/17/05 - Pull

Instead of stopping with the half rep of 495, I got pissed off and decided to punish myself by doing 20 rep sets in the rack. My lower back was on fire towards the end of the workout and I needed to lie down on one of the benches when I was done.

Rack Pull:
225X4
315X2
405X1
455X1
495 X 1/2 :mad:
135X20
225X20
315X20

- Every set was slightly below the whole knee cap.

After the rack pulls, I also attempted some two-hands anyhows with two dumbbells which didn't really work too well.

04/18/05 - Strongman

Two-Hands Anyhow:
55lb Barbell + 25lb Dumbbell X 1
60 BB + 30 DB X 1
65 BB + 30 DB X 1
70 BB + 35 DB X 1
75 BB + 35 DB X 1
80 BB + 40 DB X 1
85 BB + 40 DB X 1*

* I was only able to successfully do this last set with the barbell in my left hand and dumbbell in my right hand, not vice versa.

Here's a video that demonstrates the lift:
http://www.dieselcrew.com/VIDEOS/qc2ha.WMV

Arthur Saxon, a turn-of-the-century strongman is doing this lift in the attached pic.

175lbs on the rolling thunder is sweet!!!! Do you use chalk on this?

[DieselWeasel]

175lbs on the rolling thunder is sweet!!!! Do you use chalk on this?

Thanks. No, people on the Fortified Iron board told me that it doesn't help with that particular lift.

I'll be honest with you. The handle touches my legs on the way up when I go very heavy. :o

[GmoneyJakee]

nice vid man. very nice.

[Porky]

more pr's every workout u jerk :)

man i wanna bend so bad ive been waiting for a week but i cant get a damn ride to the steel place.

maybe u should try more volume on the bends with easier pieces instead of going for the tough bolts and stuff after warmups. just a thougt

[DieselWeasel]

nice vid man. very nice.

That's not me in the two-hands anyhow vid, it's Jedd from the Diesel Crew.

Porky: That's a good idea. I also want to try to bend two white nails at the same time soon. I only tried that once before and almost did it.

[Brego]

nice Workoutman.... i don't like the looks of those strongman things. I'll never do them :)

just be sure to include the cheating in your journal, that way when you get the 175lb rolling thunder legally you can look back and definately call it a....PR!!!

I tried some card tearing today, for the first time ever. It was very fun. I did three successful tears:

20 cards

Wooo! Card tearing is fun. I did some a few weeks ago and pealed off some nice skin off my hand, baby.

Wooo! Card tearing is fun. I did some a few weeks ago and pealed off some nice skin off my hand, baby.

I haven't peeled any skin off of my hands from card tearing yet. I got that effect after doing a whole lot of rack deadlifts from the knees, last week. That **** was nasty. It burned like a mother in the shower.

[DieselWeasel]

I did more card tearing:

35 cards

Hard to believe that no one else has pointed it out, but your deadlift form is beyond awful. Last two reps were hitched like nothing I've ever seen in my life, and even the first two reps were slightly hitched.

Try lowering the weight and learning how to deadlift.

That was 405x2 at best.

I showed my friend who's been lifting for 22 years and he said that there wasn't any hitching done during that set.

Are you watching the same video as the rest of us? :confused:

[Five]

Get a clue

[toughnuts]

Alot of improvement over the last vid I saw. BUT, your butt is still pretty high when you go off the floor, and it almost looks as if you are doing rack deads off the floor:eek:.

[Tormented]

Does it really help you to scream like that when you're in the most critical part of the lift? That's generally considered a bad thing to do, you lose stability in your core which is a bad thing for your back and it makes the lift harder. But if it works for you, then more power to you.

[Lifeforce]

I took for granted you realized you were hitching the weight in all reps. The first two sets are just a little hithed but the latter, espcially the last is hitched pretty much. Not to attack you or anything, but I am sure most will agree to this. It's still a strong lift.

Actually, I may grunt and scream under a max lift, but as I do that, my core get tigthen as it flexes harder when I scream. The key is not to let any air out. Just my experience on it. It may be wrong.

[DieselWeasel]

Get a clue

Get a life.

Tormented: No, it doesn't help me when I scream. However, sometimes it's unavoidable when I go for a 1RM attempt.

Lifeforce: The first three reps were good and I was leaning in the fourth rep, not hitching.

toughnuts: What's a rack dead from the floor? :confused:

Nice squats DW.

How did the knee wraps feel? Do you think they make a lot of difference, or are they just a psychological booster?

Take care.

Thanks.

My knee wraps are tight as hell. It's hard to say in what way exactly they help from just one usage, but I think I felt some support in the hole. They probably add a few pounds to my 1RM, but not much.

[Pilgrim BB]

Are you covering an injury by using them?

No, I was told by a friend that it would be a good idea to use them when I go for my 1RM attempts, mostly as a safety precaution.

toughnuts: What's a rack dead from the floor? :confused:

Well there is no such thing:D. I just meant it kinda looked like you were doing a hybrid mixture between a deadlift and a rack pull, to me at least, because your butt was kinda high when you started out, just the way it looked to me at least. Good workout by the way.

I think you meant a hybrid SLDL / regular DL, right?

[Lifeforce]

It looks like you lean backward and slide the bar on the legs on most reps to make it lighter and lock it out. I don't want to bitch about this it really doesn't matter. You seem very strong off the floor.

Congrats on the squat max. But man, keep it raw.

You are correct about me leaning backward and sliding the bar on the legs. However, this does not make it any lighter. Try it, you'll see that it's just my lifting style.

My squats aren't raw? The only equipment that I ever use is a belt and wraps.

Well Yeah that makes more sense.

okey.. I just assumed you were hitching. I used to lean backward a little when doing static holds, and they become alot easier to do, maybe deads work different. But anyway, let's just leave it. You did a great lift, that's all that counts right.

yeah that's raw. Except maybe the wraps depending on how long they are and how tight.

[dookie1481]

I showed my friend who's been lifting for 22 years and he said that there wasn't any hitching done during that set.

Are you watching the same video as the rest of us? :confused:

I hate to tell you this, but you are the laughingstock of about 10 different message boards. After the ****storm that followed your previous videos, one would think that you would dump the ego and try to learn proper form. Apparently not. I'm pretty sure the only thing that will change your mind at this point is ending up in traction. Good luck.

Thanks for neglecting to mention which boards were talking trash about my latest video.

You obviously have nothing constructive to contribute regarding my form or anything else, so go away.

Many, many folks have tried to offer you constructive criticism, yet you continue on the same path. And what boards? Lets see, Intense Muscle, Avant, Body Recomp, Iron Addicts (you know about that one, eh?), and Rugged, among others. I doubt you'll see many "good lift" posts there.

[uk machine]

im amazed to find that poeple have complemented his deadlift here.first board to do so. unbeleivable!

[maidenfan]

Nice journal Diesel.

I have to agree completely with dookie. This one is the only forum where you can post vids like yours and actually get comments like "awesome lift man!".

Some of the ppl at Iron Addicts are hoping you see the light some day and actually change your form, because you do have a lot of heart, but others just cant get over how you choose to blind yourself from the truth about your bad form, and they just want to see you hurt yourself.
Im in the first group.

Good luck and if you want good advice, stop listening to your so called "friend" whos lifted for 22 years and go read what countless ppl have posted on other boards trying to HELP you. Sometimes it seems you really dont WANT any help tho.

OK. Help me and critique the 405X4 deadlift video if your intention is to actually HELP instead of ****-stirring.
