Well, your back is rounded, still horizontal while your legs are almost locked out

Wtf. It didn't even look hard. It's like he pulled it on 15 other occasions.

He's a freak, and, it's also a bit easier than a regular deadlift.

Starts higher, longer bar has more whip, etc.

Although, still extremely impressive. That guys been winning DL competitions for years.

Good to have you man.

So back is feeling a lot better. I'm not sure how deads will go on Friday number wise, it is a 3 week but I may have to adjust depending on how I feel. Friday is a little ways away so well see.


Birthday skwatz tomorrow. I'm lovin it
 
What exactly do you think you did to your back? Definitely take it easy brosef.
 
I mean this in the least offensive way, but smoker how are you always hurt. I mean the weights you're handling are quite low...

Did a pr test pull of 350, before I had only done 315. Weight wasn't that bad, probably have another 15 -20 in the tank if grip holds.

But when I pulled my back was rounded as fark. I was over anxious and didnt get set. That was not this past Friday but the one before that.

Lol I'm not always hurt. I've had a shoulder problem dating back to my pitching days.

And my this only the second time I've hurt my back. The first was Bc Idk what I was doing.

While these numbers are small to many, they're not me. I've only been doing the big 3 for less than 7 months. I'm not embarrassed by it. These numbers are my numbers. And I want to do is improve.
 
Just keep good form man and stay light and work your way in. What muscle/area hurts?

What's the beef w him hurting himself? Sometimes injuries come from stupid things or light weights you don't expect. Anyone can get hurt from bad form and 350 is plenty to hurt the back with bad form.
 
I've had my share of weird inexplicable injuries including my worst and also my most nagging. Most athletes get hurt several times in their training career. It's hard not to. And you're not powerlifting right if something isn't sore or nagging.

The right side of my lower back. It has improved a good amount since the pull, but I still feel it when I bend over and when I wake up. I've been mashing and stretching and that has helped.

I'm just about 5 weeks out, and I don't want to push it, but I also want to be able to pull at least 350. I was thinking opening with 315, then going 350, then for broke. Now I'm not so sure.

Look up Eric Cressey Magnificent Mobility. Has some good stuff for the lower back. Also I've had back pain stem from my glutes, hip flexors, and SI joint.

Yep keep doing mobility and work to promote healing. You can heat too. Take it easy because you don't want to reinjure. 5 weeks is plenty of time to heal up and your pull won't suffer too much just. Just be smart. Kill the accessories.

We need to talk about this a little more.

What have you done for a triple recently?

300x3. It was sehr easy. I go off of 330 as a tm, and just did 90% of it, which is 297, so I went 300.

I go off 330 Bc in the past I've pulled 315 easy and just increased my tm off a moderate estimate. Not what program exactly calls for, but I was tired of repping lower weight for higher reps. I do not like repping deads over 5
 
Bad move? Maybe. But I wanted to hold and get more work in with weight over 300
 
Do you have an excel file like template where your training is mapped out for you? If not, get one.

300x3 is a 332 max. I don't remember if I saw the tape. Link me.

Open w 285

2nd, depending on bar speed of the first, 310-320.

3rd, depending on bar speed, 335-340

Don't start too heavy, make your attempts what you've trained for, not what you want...

Just read this again, your TM is supposed to be 90% of your max. You did a 300x3, which = 332. If your TM is 330, your 1rm should be 363.

So which is it?

I have a 280x4 ( wgich was about 1 month ago i thibk) on YouTube, I'm pretty sure 300x3 is on computer. Ill upload and fix my YouTube account.

I did not follow 531 to the t, I believe I mentioned something like that. I did 90% of my estimated max, which I increased to 330. I was doing stregnth testing, which is also why I went for 350 in the latter weeks. I can post the 350, as well as a 330 later tonight.

The whole reasoning behind this, was my dead was feeling so much stronger, and I wanted to see what around what my absolute max was. This way, I could then do a much more accurate 531, instead of basing it off of 315, which I got not too hard a I think 2 months before
 
Gotta trust Napalm, he did an excellent job picking my first two attempts on bench in the last meet, and then I went and tried for what I wanted to get instead of what I trained for, like he mentioned. The best way to build your best total is to go 9-for-9. If you take three big third attempts and miss by a khunt hair on each one, you're still leaving a lot on the table. 9-for-9 is what every lifter should strive for, but especially in your first meet. Go out there and show everyone at the meet that you know what's up.

^^^this right here

Txs for the kind words herder.

I tend to be conservative on openers and judge everything after that on bar speed.

In Prague, I had 3 guys that squat >700 pick my attempts after the opener on all 3 lifts.

I learned a little...

This is 360 i acrually thibk. I know boys, I think the trainer miscalculated. Yon further review, in the beginning of the vid, it passes by the weights. Those 2 are 10's and the other is a 5. I'm not 100% sure, but whatever. Next time, Ill put the weight on the bar myself ( trainer put it on for me).

More vids to come latter. I'm still at work. Yes I know I'm rounded as fark. Yea you guys can rip me a new one
 
I don't ****ing know. If one of youse can zoom in on the last plate, maybe you can tell me
 
K, I looked at it 3 times. That rep sucked on every level. No set up at all, rounded lumbar. Show me a lighter weight.

3 red lights...
 
Get some ****ing air in your belly and you smoke that weight. When you see me swelling up like a balloon over the bar, it's not to show you my [impressive as fck] squat belly, it's because I'm getting my air and getting tight. You just walked up and pulled it.

Every rep you do starts WAYYYY before you get anywhere near that bar. Mindset, cues, GET TIGHT, then let it rip. Learn about a braced neutral spine and diaphragmatic breathing, and then live your entire life with a braced neutral spine and diaphragmatic breathing.

Also, gotta learn to lock out a deadlift, too. Squeeze your ass, lock your knees. It didn't look to me like you lacked the strength, you just lacked the knowledge of what constitutes a completed deadlift.

And, on top of that, it was a soft lockout.

Knees definitely weren't locked at the top.


Edit: everything herder said lol.
