Joker 455 DL PR

You can see my form began to breakdown. I felt my butt go up to soon, and then struggled a bit with the lockout. Just prior to this, I also pulled 435, a 10lbs PR. My form was much better on that pull.

Seems the high-pulls are really helping with getting out of the hole. This is the first PR that the lockout has been more of a problem than getting the bar off the floor.

Halfway to the goal I set for myself of 500lbs by 12/31/2003. Another thanks to B-Fold for helping me re-outline my back routine.

Comments are appreciated.

Nice pull, You will certainly hit your goal 12-31 with only 45 lbs to go. Peace

CCCP - No pain, but a little light-headed for sure.

Yeah, my ass popped up on that pull, rounding my back to much. The 435 before that was much better. I've been fighting that problem for a while when pulling really heavy. Pull-throughs and box squats have helped, as well as doing some deads for reps where I can really focus on my form.

Thanks for the input,

Very nice, be careful though, looked like it hurt you a lot. I think im gonna try to see whats my dead lift max at my HS. We got those rubber weights that bounce when you drop them hehe. Its fun to scare people. BIG PROPS on that lift tho!

Honestly, there was no pain. None other than the "normal" expected pain of lifting that weight. In fact, my back is not all that sore today at all. Just a little muscle tightness is all.

After I set the weight down, I was a little light-headed. Is that where you saw what looked like I was in pain? Or when I was pulling it?

Very interesting.... great lift, you did that almost entirely with your back... I definately use my legs more to help me get it up... the weight that is... get your mind out of the gutter.

Yes, way to much back and not enough leg. I felt that as it was going up. My ass popping up to soon, that is.

I think I need to video some lighter pulls and see if the form is the same even when lighter, because the lighter weights feel like more leg than when I get to the heavier weights.

Still, you're right. It's a form issue I am still working on.


Thanks,
