Thanks Randy.

do you ever compete in olympic lifting?

[kureigu85]

@SMCStudio

I have not competed in olympic lifting. I sometimes do power verisions of snatches or cleans with thick bars and I try to do jerks when I lift overhead. I'd certainly need to do a lot of work to get even decent form on the olympic lifts.

[SMCStudio]

@kureigu85 you deff have some good pulling power.

[kureigu85]

@SMCStudio

Thanks.

Great job brother. You've convinced me also.

[kureigu85]

@King8921

Thanks.

[tlast2O12dude]

wow why you do snatch grip deadlifts? isn't the same as doing deficit deadlifts?

[kureigu85]

@tlast2O12dude

It's similar but not the same. I'd say the big difference is the unfavorable position the wide grip puts the upper back in. You have to contract it really hard. Also, while you start lower, the bar ends up higher, making a slightly harder lockout.

you may have just convinced me to incorporate these in a few weeks. i dont really do them too much any more. nice lifts

[kureigu85]

@strongmanzack

Thanks Zack, I haven't done these in a while too. I figure they could help with picking up low handled implements.

[strongmanzack]

@kureigu85 I think they will, they really develop those upper back pulling muscles while at the same time killing your lumbars if you go heavy.
