Dropped the f*ckin weight....

[Lord_Suston]

I was going for a nice PR in dealifts today and I got 6inches off the ground but i felt myself arch my back and I knew i was doing it improperly so I just ddropped the bar.... So close to 475lbs... The reason I'm so angry is because I'm doing this all naturally and getting great results. Next week I'm gonna try singles, because this week I did 4 reps
135lbs for 6 wamr up
225 for 4 warming up
315 for 4 very light
405 for 4 not too bad last one was a little tough

"Mistake #7: Training with multiple reps

Next time you see someone doing multiple reps on the deadlift, take note of the form of each rep. You'll see the later reps look nothing like the first. In competition you only have to pull once, so you need to learn how to develop what's known as starting strength for the deadlift. This is the strength needed to get the bar off the floor without an eccentric (negative) action before the start.

In other words, you don't lower the bar first and then lift the weight as you do with the squat and bench press. When you train with multiple reps you're beginning to develop reversal strength, which isn't needed with the deadlift.

These two reasons are enough to keep the deadlift training to singles. If you're using multiple reps with the deadlift, then stand up in between each rep and restart the lift. This way you'll be teaching the proper form and be developing the right kind of strength. "
