You are going to be sore tomorrow. Nothing like waking up in the morning and feeling your hands swelled up like boxing gloves .

focus on your form when you first start them and not the weight. 230 isnt a whole lot though, you prob should go out and get a couple 45's.

 

[Drunken_Weasel]

well.. i did 4 sets total..
10reps x 125,
6 reps x 195,
6 reps x 230,
6 reps x 230

i did my form as close as i good for just seeing B Fold's vids, and you guy's talking.. i did one hand in one hand out (switched out every set), and hands outside of legs, legs slightly bent.. and pulled up.. not fast.. not slow..

any other pointers? im loving deads.. wanna make sure i can keep doing them

i always have my hands in a closer than shoulder-width grip. the bar has less distance to travel

 

[Drunken_Weasel]

i did it at where the grips start.. which is a little less than shoulder for me

 

[Drunken_Weasel]

yay .. now i can try to max a bit more..

i just went out and bought 2 45lb disks, and 2 25 pound disks.. and a curl bar.. i think my collection is starting to actually mean something..
