tried jumping deadlifts!!

[thriller]

i felt the burn nice. the whole lift just felt nice. i was doing it with 135lb i felt like i could have used alot heavier.
i was getting nice height and it was a smooth lift. no back pain either.
awesome lift

next time (tomorrow) im going to try a shrug at the top of the jump.

just remeber - slow off the ground, steady buildup of speed till you get to the knee and the explode once the bar has cleared the knee.

I'll make a video soon showing how I do it

WTF?? Jumping deads? What's the point?? Don't you worry about injuring your arms or shoulders when you come back down?? I saw this little teeny kid doing these at a gym down on cape cod this summer, I just rolled my eyes. Looked like a good way to get an injury to me.

BTW what will these do that bungees won't?? I saw a kid in another gym put on a belt that had bungees attached to it and the other ends were attached to a platform. The point was to increase the vertical lift for basketball. This I understand..jumping deads I do not.

These sound interesting. . . . I have never seen anyone perform these.
