Oh dear. I've just been looking at every deadlift video I can find and by comparison, my form is embarrassing

When my new weight arrives I'll have 440lbs. Forget about 405. I want 440 NOW.

well here is my first ever deadlift max out form last yeah!
stiff legged like yours, but I got 405lbs

downlaod it again - I was uplaoding it when you tried - there hsould be 3 deadlifts in it

 

[Zander1983]

Ok, got it now. It really wasn't that bad, though mine isn't a good point of comparison!

I'm psyched. I want to deadlift again.

Monday 23 June: Box Squats/Deadlift practice & GPP

12 inch Box Squats
132 x 2 x 8 sets

Speed Deadlits
220 x 1 x 10 sets

GPP
5 minutes of stair running, jumping jacks, shuffle splits, slalom jumps, pushups, DB swings, bent presses etc...

I am even MORE psyched about a 1RM deadlift now, after feeling much more comfortable with my form today. Butt was low, back much straighter - felt good

First time doing box squats. Transitioning into WSB after my holiday.

You should have taped the deadlifts as well

I was planning on doing so until the camera died

Nice shorts and box

I think your a bit too ballistic droping on the box IMO.

 

[revexrevex]

Yea, you sat so far back that you almost missed the box on one of the reps
