Always open for form critique and advice.

Didn't you just post a 225 front squat not too long ago?!

On fire man.

[StrengthPlease]

Hard to tell from that angle but after your first rep your lower back seems rounded?

[Complex89]

Damn dude. Beast. I'm struggling to do 300 for reps and weigh 170.

Impressive amount of weight for your bodyweight. As stated above, your lower back does appear to round after the first rep. I would also suggest taking the slack out of the bar before you start your pull. Right now you're just quickly jerking the weight off the floor. Here's a decent article on the topic: http://www.t-nation.com/training/sto...-your-deadlift

Awesome lifts! It must really suck deadlifting with those hex plates huh?

Always open for form critique and advice.

Heck of an effort, OP!






If you plan to still be lifting heavy weight a couple of years from now, consider these things:

* Don't jerk the slack out of your arms at the start of each rep; that's a torn biceps tendon looking for a victim. Instead, apply smooth power to the bar to get it to break off the floor.

*Know when to end the set. That last rep should have been left on the floor; never 'hitch' the bar up your thighs to get it to lockout. Again, that's an injury looking for a victim.





You have a boatload of potential, but you need to refine it if your plan is to stay in this game.




GL, young man.

another PR thread? Good work dude!!

Thanks man! Been working hard, appreciate it.

Thanks! I'll take a look at it.

Thank Will for the pointers. Ego definitely came to play.

The fact that you're aware of ^^^^ this bodes well for your future.

Used to be me brah, Deadlifts used to e my weakest lift.

[davisj3537]

Great weight man. Just as impressive as the 225 front squat.

You do noticeably round your back. When it is noticeable from a front/side angle like this it isn't minor. Like already said pull the slack out before pulling.

Keep up the hard work man!

Will definitely work on form. Have to try and find someone to record some sets for me. Thanks!

Good work bro, impressive for your size. Just be careful as mentioned jerking the bar. Realllll easy to pull or pop something like that with that heavy of weight. We've all been there, PR's are awesome, but are they worth being out 6 months or a year due to a slipped disk? Lift smart. But you know all of this... And i'm guilty of lifting like that at times too.. Soo all around impressive, just don't get hurt. It isn't worth it.

[InspecktaDeck]

Strong deadlifting. Some advice: find a gym with round plates cuz that shyt is killing your flow.

[samson_419]

Wow! Straight impressive!

I pull that and I weigh in over 200

Awesome OP!

[StrengthPlease]

yeah, I feel as if it was also.

Like these other guys said, focus on your form so you can stay in the game for longer. When you're pulling such heavy weight the potential for injury increases dramatically. Work on straightening that back and the jerking motion as described above, and you should stay injury free.

Anyways, impressive, and keep up the hard work!

[NattyRex]

Mirin the hard work man!

Totally agree with ya!

I've been planning to switch over to the Metroflex in LBC. 24HR isn't the right environment for me anymore and those hex plates suck lol.

Wow! Straight impressive!

Awesome OP!

Thanks, appreciate it.

Haven't tested my DL 1RM in a while to be honest. I'll prob test it in around a month or so.

[BankWalker]

Impressive strength. Even more impressive at your body weight. Good job!

hex plates make me want to murder the gym owner.

Agreed lol.

[artvandelay02]

Impressive. I would try and work on opening your stance more, and dropping your hips down as deep as possible before pulling. Your current stance isn't really achieving maximum leverage (it's more of a hybrid sumo/conventional stance), and is probably the reason your back is slightly rounded, and also the reason why your legs lock out so quickly. I pull sumo and have worked a lot on my mobility so I can get down crazy low. Look up some Dan Green deadlift videos, his form is the most efficient and textbook of any sumo deadlifter you're gonna find out there.

If you work on your form, combined with your brute strength, you'll be pulling some impressive weight soon.
