I don’t know if it’ll make a difference to the movement, but in order to take pressure off the wrists and do something akin to your barbell pushups without all of the set up, you can just use two dumbells for the handles.
Hi, MIM. After watching your vids, I thought I might share…
Very cool, thanks Skye!
P- probably…it was more a matter of just trying it out! 
carbs are going absolutely bye bye for me, starting tomorrow…I guess sort of AD-esque, but without the refeed at the end…
posted my pics on the other site…scary…put on 5 lbs since I last weighed in sometime in Jan…still, 185 considering my carb fest the last two weeks isn’t too terribly bad…I think my progress will be more visual than on the scale…
kicking ass in the gym+eating 100% perfect= RESULTS! early morning walks are also in my future…accept tomorrow morning, cause the hubby has to be to work by 4am…I guess I could get ultra tough and get up at 230am…let me think about that for a second…NAH!!!
MIM, you’ll do great with the new diet. You’ve got alot of focus and motivation.
P.S. Awesome OH squats! I’m jealous of them as I’m still working on OH squatting just the bar.
it was just the bar, haha…
I’m not worried about the diet so much…I just really want to make some noticeable progress week to week! thats what it will be most about, I think! And of course how much you are kicking butt in the gym and in life
Worked up to a 1rm for the DL…I KNOW I have more in me! It looks easier than it feels tho, haha…I had to do this twice, cause the first attempt, I was too close to the camera, 
I’ve pulled 225 before with no so great form…Would love to make into the 300lb club someday! 
That looked like a warm-up weight for you!
I know…oops!! *blush
sticking point is off the floor…haven’t trained DL enough to know how to go heavier without rounding my back…
But if I look around carefully, there are plenty o’ articles around! 
I’ll wait for word from my coach…( I love saying that!!!) I’m sure he’ll have some choice words for me
great job MIM. i will just enjoy watching you all go heavy on the DLs…
why, your not? its cool…
I don’t normally train DL’s…it used to be like once every couple months even! But now is my FAVE! And I’ll be doing a lot of them
today I had to do 35 reps @ 60%!
35 reps! Oh my. Like you, I pull conventional. And the floor seems to be my sticking point as well. I also struggle with slouching my shoulders and rounding my back when the weight gets heavy. I just have to arch, arch and push into the floor to keep from doing so. I find that hard core training of the squat really drives up my DL numbers.
i had to back off the pounds for squat and DL. doing 5 x 15-20 of them… i love them too. they make me RAWR!
Yeah MIM!!! dude, that did looked seriously easy - you can totally top that. 300 club in no time!
Thanks Masch!
Started the morning off with a 20 min walk with 20lbs on my back…phew!
MIM, that deadlift weight is SO not your 1 rep MAX. That flew up! More weight on the bar!
How much is that?

Deficit DLs will work the kinks out.
MIM- 205 looked easy for you…Methinks 250 is more like your 1RM
