Been a long time since I last checked the comments. So glad I did. Where else would I find a spirited conversation on the deadlift? This made my day.

I try this movement but if you don't do it properly, it can ruin your back.

320+165+425= 910.

failed at 330-170-455…


Thought I’d done this more recently but I couldn’t find record of having done it in the past year. No PR’s. Deadlift weak today even in belt. Squat in shoes, wraps, belt and sans shoes. 165 press felt surprisingly good but hard. Got off balance at 170 and it threw me off.


“warmup” was 10 empty barbell good mornings, then build ups.

I did this workout at home instead of at the gym…I only have 480 lbs of weight and I’d have to load a dirty bar (uneven) to go higher than 465. So my deadlift is lower than usual in my total but I’m happy with this coming back from a shoulder injury…this is about 85 percent of my best total post injury (shoulder from football years ago) so I’m stoked…

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about today


WORKOUT THEMES

Weightlifting. Single modality (kind of). A test of absolute strength, but with a little bit of strategy involved.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM


HEAVY x


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Pick one lift, do sets of 10+ reps


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As is, go 7 seconds on the way up and 7 seconds on the way down of each lift


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a short sprint or burpee set before each lift


MY STUFF

Did a bunch* of sets of strict press at 135 between cleaning stuff

*by a bunch I mean some**

**by some I mean 5

Also pretty much skipped the entire 11 am session to play 2-on-2 with Owen, Chase, and Aaron. We ended 1-0***

***after a few warmup losses


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4

Anyone reading this lacking the benefit of proper coaching should be aware that you can tie your back into knots doing it wrong by being forward onto your toes. That happened to me until a coach said "stay on your heals". Fixed, instantly. Now I'm happily at 2x bodyweight, and it feels easy. All those deadlifts in the open were a breeze.

Commented on: The Back Squat

Might be the difference between a high bar vs. low bar squat. In the video, this is a high bar squat which lends the torso to stay vertical....I much prefer the low bar squat myself when getting heavier, which utilizes more hip drive.


Check out this site below for more in depth insights between the two.

Femur length may be a limiting factor is staying vertical. Longer femur pushes your hips back further causing you to lean forward to stay over your midfoot. Calf flexibility is the other factor that can limit getting forward and more vertical. It's all good!!

My god, I never knew how bad my form was until I watched this video and gave it try. I'm pretty sure 95% of my body was pushed ahead of the bar. Tried using proper form with an empty bar and quickly felt the difference in my whole body.
