jsut want to ask, is it wrong to not bring the weight all the way to the floor?

[toddadonis]

@shagazor I use both ways, but in this instance I wanted to eleminate the split second pause I would normally achieve when bringing the load to the floor. Its not going to make a big difference, but after a full set, I believe it does make it more challenging. Your body is also responsible for reversing the downward pull of gravity when you get to the bottom, when normally the floor would help assist during a regular deadlift. It just depends on what your trying to do. Keep training hard!

thats it? for your size should be doing a lot more

[toddadonis]

@Fergy64 Well Cody, even though you dont list fitness, exercise, or nutrition as one of your hobbies, you bring up an interesting debate for all. How strong is strong enough? Or better yet, how much more should a lifter be able to handle, relative to his bodyweight/weightclass when considered an advanced lifter? I would consider anything over 3x bodyweight to be near the top of the class. So going by this standard, you would be correct, I should be doing a lot more.

@toddadonis i was just kidding bro this is honestly good weight! my comment meant to be a friendly joke but as i look at it again it looks like an insult :/. the most i got up to was repping 315 but now all i do is squats and lunges and other excersises for legs. ive never seen the trap bar before looks like it works a lot better than a regular straight bar!

[toddadonis]

@Fergy64 I appreciate the clarification. Quoting a passage from Kelso's shrug book in regards to the trap bar, by "standing inside the bar frame, the weight is located to the rear of its normal path of movement. This reduces lower back stress and shearing forces on the spine and knees. Also, the improved leverage provides higher intensity muscle stimulation. In short, a person can train more effectively and with greater safety." If you ever come across one, give it a try, and keep training hard!

how is a trapbar cheating? is the point to show off or to build muscle? I could deadlift rocks to look cool but if its not more affective then using a trapbar then why would I do it.

A trap bar is safer and half of the time the people who post these comments are little herbs who don't even work out hard and just research the shit out of every little thing. Just work out and stop bitching.

[Ericluna81]

That is legit man. Youre pretty strong. Im 15 and my 1rm is 500 at 190 pounds. I trap way more than most of the juniors and seniors at my school

[hXcDiedWithHitler]

i got a 365lb 1RM at 150lbs.

[xxdizannyxx]

its called deadlift because you are supposed to lift it from off the floor

[mrk1ngsir]

[technoisgay14]

Nice dude. I'm 14 and do 220X8.

[iBMXFitPrk2]

I can do 455 5 times pretty easily. im a junior

[gurki1122]

mad props man. some people use the high handle. i mean its still impressive to pull 5-6 hundo with that. but low handle is ~3 inches lower. involving the hams much more. keep it up your hip power will only increase!

[johndeerebuck]

@phillyeagles217 25 kg so 55 lbs i believe

[shagazor]

@toddadonis oh okay. i'm too worried to do deads like this because i hurt mylower back before and it seems this exerts a lot of strain on it
