Paul Harvey - Partial Deadlift - 675lbs x 12 Reps

[IncredibleHulkRobert]

Wow, I'm so impressed with all that weight for (partial) reps! Good work man. Lol @ the guys staring

[psb26]

hi mate, super work. Reminds me of some serious workouts in the 80s and 90s. May I ask where you learned to partial deadlift like that? Keep pumping mate. regards michael in dublin.

so rather then lifting from the floor I set the rack to about 1-2 foot from the floor and it is now considered a partial? I can't do regular deadlifts my legs are to damn long.

saw your reply about the nerve problem ,I broke my pelvic bone doing squats a few years ago , thenI was 37 an 180lb, squating 420 for 8 reps . the nerve in my leg has never been the same,drives me crazy, so what did you do to fix the problem?

[TheFitConnection]

I've been using an inversion bench - stretches the spine and completely took out the sciactic issue.

It works incredibly well for just about any back issue.

[DejanDancu]

great lifts (even if u lowered the bar too quickly, which can actually bent the bar completely). :D

[chrisjarram]

I got bored out of my fucking mind 30 seconds in - just cut to the lifting already.

[TheFitConnection]

I'm so sorry you were bored - this truly pains me, Chris.

holly shit this is exactly a lesson on how to mess up a disc

[TheFitConnection]

That might be true if you're not capable of lifting the weight.

Since I am there's relatively no chance of messing up a disc.

Not to mention that if you're strong enough and your form is good - you're in little danger of messing up your back.

But thanks for the input.

got one question u only work on partial deads cuz u had a torn hamstrings? or u just did partial cuz it has more benefit from it?

[TheFitConnection]

I work on both partial and full deadlifts. However, I was relegated to partials only because of strained hamstrings that refused to heal. Now they're healed but I've had a sciatic nerve problem that I've been dealing with.

I hope to be able to deadlift again some time in the near future.

[hwdstrn]

What is the primary focus of partial deads? Is it low back, glutes, or hams?

[TheFitConnection]

The primary focus is your lower back, as well as overall back thickness in general.

[TheFitConnection]

Also, I've been relegated to partials only because I've pulled my hamstrings and they've stubbornly refused to fully heal so that I can start pulling from the floor again.

[Polaphuca]

God no wonder your hamstrings tore- your ams and spine are going to snap next if you lift that much.

[zippyman818]

Geez, that bar really bends and bounces! How much do you weigh now?

[TheFitConnection]

Well... in this video I was around 305. I'm around 280 at the moment. Staying heavier was just too much work each day!

[coal7311]

On the same topic, what is your heaviest bodyweight so far?

[TheFitConnection]

My heaviest was 310lbs, but I honestly don't see myself ever getting that heavy again. It's just too much work.

[coal7311]

Never knew you got that big. Was that when you were om the fifteen meal a day plan?

[marialumena]

thank you for the post!
