Enough said....

Everyone is different based off your structure and mechanics. If you pull sumo a lot better, you are most likely better suited for that. If you are just trying to increase the conventional style,...

If your getting lower back pain, your using to much of your upper back to get it off the floor.

Planet fitness will literally hang you from a pull up bar and beat you like a pinata.

But seriously, if that is all you have, it is better than nothing.

Start implementing some heavy ass farmer walks.

Get rid of straps

Use chalk, peanut butter, powder, whatever the hell you need to get a grip on the bar.

Oh ya and go strapless...

I use these bad boys: http://amzn.to/1KEKkWT. Pretty much gets the job done on squat day for me.

I don't want to say it was aliens...but it was aliens.

You should be able to pull mad weight. Throw up those videos when you can.

I like that chitty chitty bang bang porn

Pretty much I tie these bishes: http://amzn.to/1j8lMQ1 underneath a power rack and then I pull like a deranged bastard on bath salts.

Glad you found some good shoes! I was also looking at the Reebok's for squatting, but went with these Adidas pefromance ones: http://amzn.to/1V0VRp3

Let us know how they work, might be going for...

Here is a chart with average weight for the deadlift. Guess you can go off of that.

I also do a double overhand. Just depends on what is more comfortable for you.

Sounds like you you use to much of your upper back in the initial pull or you just got really weak erectors.

Have you done any lower back training? Can you see how your technique is via a video or...

Pretty much for a lot of people, sumo stance tends to be awkward as hell at first. The more you do it, the more you would be able to pull tons of weight which can carryover very well into the...

If the pain is so unbearable, stop and re-evaluate your technique and get...

Definitely solid as ****. Lock that out at the end or if you have issues locking it out, I would focus pulling from the shins either in a power rack, stacked plates or off some blocks.

Your using to much upper body at the start if you are getting back pain.

Hard to say without seeing a video. Load that badboy on youtube and post a link here.

You can try the Ed Coan/Phillip deadlift routine & even the Candito 6 week strength program.

Both have some solid feedback behind them from what I read.

Candito's:...

Future bosu ball squats of America.

Anyway, add in some thick resistance bands, chains or maybe get a deadlift frame to put under a car and deadlift that.

This thread is pure win, lots of great info. It is a too each to their own. I personally like to come at a dead stop to catch a bit of air before the next rep.
