Benefits of Dietary Fat:
Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble vitamins, which rely on fat for storage and transportation throughout the body. Vitamin A helps with vision, vitamin D helps with bone strength, vitamin E boosts the immune system and vitamin K promotes blood clotting.

Cheesecake has lots of delicious fat :)

Jumping rope isn't hard if you have basic coordination. Give it a shot, you might pick it up right away.

I'm as uncoordinated as they come but am getting better with jump rope, just takes some practice and patience.. Also great for calf strength since you need to stay up on the balls of your feet... Give it a go ched! ?

3 people actually!!! Kind of a great offer and marketing idea as they terminate the attempt if it seems unsafe.

One of the strongmen trainers is pretty damn good

PB preference, Cass? I've been surprised of the number of high protein pb spreads that are actually available... For a while there, thought P28 was the only one...

I don't get too fancy. Just creamy for me and I occasionally mix it with reconstituted PB2 so I can have more.

Still need to pick up some PB2...I assume it tastes better than the peanut flour I currently have in my pantry my wife has picked up for baking, lol ?

And awesome sauce on the win, thanks Cassie/USP :D

Pb2 is tres legit brah, great way to add PB flavor to something when you don't quite need all the calories.

When it comes to deadlifting, it cannot be stressed enough to take the time to research/study form (study your own and have others -- who are trustworthy/knowledgeable lol -- watch you, too). Poor form results in a lack of performance at best and at worst, injury.

I know I'm trying to transition to a different stance and grip. I'm used to a closer stance and a grip just outside of my calves -- it's just what's comfortable to me. I really want to go with more of a sumo stance with my hands inside; just doesn't feel natural yet; more research and practice needed.
 
For me,
I deadllift once a week.

I warm up using Back Extension with body weight 2 sets of 15 and then 20 reps.

I still use Back Extension device on back days. I warm up the same as above, but add 45lb plate on 3rd set and 45+ 25 plate on 4th & 5th set

As far as protein intake goes, most recommend 1g/lb of body weight. I generally go with .82g per lb. And have been making gains just fine :)
 
Don't be afraid to use straps for multiple reps. I've noticed better grip strength even using straps over time.

I love using Versa Grips Pro for any pull type exercise especially dead lifts (and bent over rows).
 
Man, I still need to get some versa grips.

Good point on the straps as if your focal point of deadlifts is back and everything posterior chain, they're very helpful. My grip strength isn't terrible, but I can pull significantly more than my hands/forearms are capable of holding onto. Without straps I'm barely moving 405 on deadlifts for reps. With straps I can add another 100 lbs. easily (and another 200 lbs when it comes to shrugs).
 
I don't even wrap my thumb on deads until I hit 5plates!

One handed deads straight outta Doug Hepburns playbook! Looks ridiculous but so does lifting heavy ass weight sometimes
 
FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, don't deadlift until you have recovered from your last deadlift workout. I've thrown my back out probably 4-5 times because I wasn't fully recovered and my form got sloppy. I have a slightly degenerative disk that bulges a little. That f#$ker kills when I mess up a deadlift rep. I can't bend over for 4 days. Thankfully it's only temporary and needs minimal help healing.
 
Try to get most of your protein from whole foods. Supplement with protein powder only for convenience or if you can't hit your daily macro number or if you can make amazing treats like some people on here :)
 
As far as protein goes, you have to find what works for you, everyones body digest and uses protein at different rates. I know I have put on a good amount of lean muscle using just .75.lb and didn't notice a difference in that and 1.25/lb.
 
When deadlifting invest in some good shoes or go barefoot, something as simple as a broken in wall on a shoe can make a world of difference.
 
Drive through your heels when deadlifting, making sure to use your legs to break the bar from the floor, not your back.

I will say that when I am cutting I might bring it up to 1g/lb., just to try to avoid LBM loss and for satiety purposes.

Looks like a good way to get those glutes firing properly.
 
The best advice i can give on Deadlifting is from Elite FTS
best video series on the net

[video=youtube;xS2wLZSdeDg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS2wLZSdeDg[/video]
 
Protein requirements:
A set standard is 1g/lb. Most people want to consume more protein which would be ideal in a cutting phase. When in a surplus you have to remember carbs and fats are protein sparing once protein minimums are met. Anything in excess will be stores. Getting more calories from carbs/fat would aid with recovery and performance.
 
When doing conventional Deadlifts, be sure to keep the bar as close to your body as possible. I actually drag the bar up my shins, which can take a little getting used to. I try to find a bar that is smooth where my shins will be.

Hip Hinging! Too many people squat the damn weight up and ya know what if you can justify it great. Same with stiff legged deads! Unlock the power in the hips and bring the two hemispheres of your body together. Progressions from there benefit you all the way from the gym to everyday life
