8-22-09 at the SLP Indiana State Fair Powerlifting meet. I set a PR for the deadlift but caught my toes with the weights on the way down. OUCH that hurt!!! Two broken toes and 6 stitches.

7burnitdown u are very uninformed about sumo technique, I actually had decent form off ground and my foot placement was a little wide but the actual problem was the slight rotation at the top, caused by an imbalance in my strength on my right side. I did break a PR so it couldn't have been to bad. Id love to see your vid of your form. Plz post it.

Dude do you seriousley not realize that this is not the correct way to dead lift? Im just saying... do it right or just dont do it at all.

[davidcunningham73]

@MrDTRAIN91 That is called the Sumo Deadlift, and is legal in every federation. I got 3 white lights on that lift!

[MrGanaedwards]

@davidcunningham73 Nice work... Its funny reading the comments people post like "I'm 21 and can deadlift 400+" and "Do you seriousley (not know how to spell) not realize that this is not the correct way to deadlift?" Lifting is all about beating pr's, not comparing yourself, and it's called sumo deadlift kid, learn to spell, then you might learn to read and hence further your knowledge of lifts.

[davidcunningham73]

@MrGanaedwards Well said......

[Jaahaah]

I think you should have a wider stance

[davidcunningham73]

@username200811  i pull sumo in competitions because you get more out of your gear, I can actually pull more conventional when i deadlift raw. so post your video of you moving some weight or shut-up kid....go do some p90x with your girlfriend.

[DJPL4life]

thats why conventional never fails

[ZainTheRetard]

@davidcunningham73 shut the fuck up.

[MrJervilla]

lol i didnt even notice he dropped that shit on his foot. lol i woulda jumped

[SuperBrandonHunt]

500 bounced off your foot and you walked it off like it was nothing lmao...what a champ

[Akamuone]

@lovesgibson no doubt, just like many bikers don't wear a full helmet, doesn't make it a good or safe idea. Chucks are cheap power lifting tools. Not the best for power lifting and provide NO protection.

[drDAKOTABOOZER]

hahahahaha you fuckin' dummy =D

[lovesgibson]

@Akamuone ?! most powerlifters wear chucks... i can pull up articles were elite powerlifters say to wear chucks

[Akamuone]

ha ha dude was wearing Chucks. LMAO, that's why you wear power-lifting shoes when you are power-lifting. Don't be cheap. Get it right.

[PunkMAC10]

nice chucks

[Perucamuchita]

LMAO I love his face at the end
