I'm working on my dl form right now and I'm wondering something. Do you make sure that your hamstrings are really tight at the start of the lift, similar to the way they would be when you're at the bottom of an rdl?
@dman519 not really...I kind of mentally focus on my quads and back as I'm deadlifting heavy. Not sure if this is the best thing to do, its just what's been working for me.
@dman519 If you focus your quads then you are leaning to far forward and putting to much weight on the ball of your foot instead of the heel, thus making it harder. The entire body is in motion with this exercise, and seeing as how most injuries with it occur to the hamstring, i think its safe to say thats one of the most used muscles. Focus on tensing the entire lower body up and pushing through your heels before you engage the back for the end of the exercise.
@bryce126 I bet your world record isn't really world record. Word a "world" means a lot more than USA territory. Take a plane to Russia, go to first gym and tell them that you're 181lb deadlift world record holder. You'll find dozens of guys who'll smoke your world record like you have never been even lifting.
@TheHyroi Because the faster the rep, the less time the weight will put tension on your muscles. Especially for high rep sets in going for a PR, faster reps=more reps.
@dapowerlifter09 Listen to your body mate. You want some tension, or you don't wanna build muscles? Don't do it too fast but not too slow. Too fast can be just as dangerous.
@smats42 I use the double overhand grip, which is much harder than alternating. The reason I got used to double overhand is to prevent the possibility of a biceps tear which is common and devastating with the alternating grip. The double overhand, I learned by accident, is possibly the best thing to develop world class hand strength.
@khalsasikh i just started doing double overhand without straps as well, for shoulder comfort. very challenging but fun, much more comfortable than alternating grip. good point about the bicep danger, i hadnt thought of that but it seems obvious now.
i did a 435 single(not much weight, i know) double overhand no straps. im looking forward to trying more eventually.
@smats42 I weigh 225. I guess I've got you on bodyweight. I don't use straps because I like the effect on my hand and grip strength. I got down to about 182 in the past, but that was too thin for me.
@khalsasikh hey bro i noticed you are into training grip strength on your profile. im interested in training grip strength while recovering from hernia surgery (no heavy deadlifts for a while). i have some ideas but im curious what you would recommend because you seem interested in grip strength. any suggestions? thanks bro
