Probably right, felt like a 9.8/10 or so. Powerlifting meet in a couple weeks so i might give 430-440lb a go.
Why do you say that about the belt? You don't pull with a belt?

Personally I don't even deadlift that much, brb getting yelled at and criticized for not doing them often

but no i don't use a belt, I know eventually ill throw on a belt but not planning till most likely 495+

but too much dependence on a belt will result in a weaker core and your lifts will suffer

Agreed. I threw on a belt around 85% but probably should have waited longer.
Also, i deadlifted the day before, playing around with singles at 70-85%. Although it wasn't much volume, i knew my core and lumbar wouldn't be 100% the next day, and it wasn't.

gj op . Smooth as ****.

Thanks brah, repped.

Great stuff man. What's the song btw?
As for the advice, everything looked good tbh. Just keep on pushing. Was there any particular questions you had?


Edit: I would advise not taking so long in your stance to finally pull. Each and every second counts. Your set up is important, but staying set for such a long period of time can drag down your numbers possibly. Try just going down and immediately pulling next time. Seems like you were a "tad" discouraged on whether you could or could not pull the weight considering the amount of time you waited

[JusF13]

Looks great man, wish I could pull that (lol). What has your routine looked like since you started lifting?

[supremebro]

solid pull, how old are you btw?


and how the phuck do you make your avi so long?

Thanks man. To be completely honest, it was even longer than it is in the video, as i edited it out for viewing purposes. But i completely understand where you are coming from.
I'm not completely experienced with this setup yet, as i was playing around with different ones yesterday. Still trying to figure a few things out like the amount of tension is should have, spine positioning, head positioning etc.

Thanks man.
Honestly, a lot of f*cking around.
December 2010 - April 2012: Different split routines training with squat, bench, dead frequency 1x per week + a lot of hypertrophy assistance work (worked fine, wasn't that great, still a lot of fun)
April 2012 - February 2013: Wendler 5/3/1 (very slow progression)
February 2013 - now: Playing around with my own 8 week mesocycle, benching 3x, squat and dead 2x. High volume, working off an RPE scale from 7.5-9.5. (very fun, working great)

What i'm doing now is probably the most effective.

Turned 19 a couple weeks ago.

I honestly have no clue haha.

this, looked like you could have done more brah

Thanks man. Big confidence boost for my meet in 2 weeks

[TheTwiglet]

Don't worry about being weak, manlet. I ruined my lower back a while ago and any DL attempts over 120kg usually result in death. Yes, good form.

[sgttom]

Nice job bro. You look good in your AVI btw. 160 isn't that light for your height.

I tried 420 a few weeks ago. Couldn't even get it off the ground lol.

Thanks man, i still feel pretty light.
Feel like i have plenty of room to add mass still.

You'll get it bro, keep pulling.

Thanks bro. Yea I am sure you can get bigger. Feeling light is a good thing tho, don't want your mass to weigh you down.

I appreciate your opinion, but f*ck that.

I want to be a savage; traps the size of mountains, ridiculous quads, triceps that hang out of my shirt - all within the constraints of my natural testosterone levels of course.

[OmgWtfNvm]

[Polyphemus]

Maybe post another vid at side angle?

[ChineseKFC]

strong lift brah impressive.

[rocket999]

So smooth, looks niceee

I pulled 420lbs a few months ago, but it was at a bodyweight of 188 and I was 6'1". The lift didn't look that good, but I did have half of the gym watching me (small local gym, anything decently heavy is impressive).

[mattwilsonPT]

Haha, yeah I train in a pretty small gym too. The deadlift platform and bumper plates were introduced because I am the only one who Deadlifts and the metal plates cracked the wooden flooring. Thanks brah.

On the bright side, you are 40lbs heavier and way leaner. Makes me jelly brah.
