I couldn't focus on the reps after.... She was such a bitch and wouldn't leave until i did the next reps... Such a bitch
Anyways thanks for the input everyone. I think I will drop down to 185 and work on my form... I could do it today and record it even though i just deadlifted Wednesday... But anyways i will record them next time..
Any suggestions on the problem with my ass raising first? Should in be using my legs sort of squatting it off the ground at first then pulling?
I know a while ago Andalite told me not to squat it off the ground..
Suggestions?
Zx it was a woman who worked there lol

Dude! youre working hard and thats great. Follow the advice of the other guys above and your will be golden. Bro I feel sorry for you gettin bitched at about the weight hitting the floor as you were obviously working at setting it down gently.
Fuckin old bitch, it is a workout area, if she wants quiet she should be in a yoga class or 6' under..
Keep up the great effort.

Your quads are weak. They are the big movers in the first part of the deadlift. Lots of squats and leg presses will fix this over time. Focus now on keeping your chest up and ass down when starting the lift.
Btw,,,,,, Your gym sucks. Maybe you should try and switch to a gym that's a little more tolerant of heterosexuals.

Yeah man I dont know your financial situation but you should really focus on finding a different gym. I know that when I was searching for a gym I checked out two other ones before finding the one I am at know. Both the previous gyms where more geared towards "fitness" as they put it and would not let me deadlift because they felt their clientele, being 60% women, would decline.
I am just saying this because once you get to heavier weights you wont be able to waste energy trying to muffle the sounds of the weight hitting the ground, or grunt which is frowned upon in those types of "fitness establishments". I'm not saying that I am a loud duesh when I lift but you got to be able to let loose on your top set.
Just an observation

Lol! I guess my quads are weak too then cause my ass did the same thing when I maxed out. I know I tried some leg presses and 630x5 felt kind of heavier then I thought it would....so maybe the quads need some work?
I think most every one's form sucks on limit sets.
When I started hitting the leg press hard after squats my deadlifts went up. My drive off of the floor increased greatly.
I think hitting the leg press hard (especially if you neglect training it) after squats for a little while will in fact help your DLs and over all leg strength.
I was about to say this too! Take the same stance on leg press as you take on deads.
SL prefers feet higher on the sled I prefer feet lower, so its your choice Tcock
Well, I disagree with almost everyone on here.
Almost every single rep AFTER the woman complained to you looked darn near perfect. Your lower back isn't AS ARCHED as theoretically hoped for...but as Jim Wendler says "nobody pulls over 2 plates with form like that anyway".
You know why you missed the 260?
1) There was no way you were going to get it over your knees. Look at your first few tries at the next weight...it came straight up and into your legs. Your shins have to be more up and down at that point. You are trying to do so by straightening your knees when you need to sit back more. Hard to do, especially without a suit and more weight on the bar (relative to your bodyweight).
2) You need a gym that gets you psyched out of your mind hole.
3) You need time and LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of food! You are a 700 lb deadlifter waiting to happen. You have the tools and genetics, you just need the time and training. You need some years...but it is there.
If I were you...I'd make 2 plates my minimum training weight. You could have repped that all freaking day, it wasn't hard. You could easily pull lots of singles with that and with a good form day you would have came up so fast with 260 that you flew backwards.
I'm about to take a 10 week trip to the USA and this kind of place is just my nightmare. That is why I'll always schedule my trainings accordingly (times when I know nobody will be in the gym, be it at 6AM or driving an hour away). You will never be a good deadlifter unless you can get psycho in the gym.
