Deadlift PR attempt-shear dissapointment (rant)

[kyle]

i agree that really tightening up will help

as i recall, pavel tsatsouline says to:

1. tighten glutes (and rectal sphyncter) as hard as possible
2. breath into lower lungs and push abs out flexing them as hard as possible
3. rotate your feet outward (try to point your toes out)
4. generally tighten everything and lift - make sure to keep neck erect (head back, look up)

doing this has helped me, but you might need to do them in a different order or do several at the same time (i like to do them seperately - but quickly - so i can concentrate on each one)

i think you're a little overtrained on deads off the floor. try doing other variations for a couple of workouts. i deadlift @ every third week. trap bar deads on a 3" box help with breaking the weight off the floor. also,warmups with singles are the way to go on PR day.
