P.S. Court if you bookmark my page so everyone can see my SPAZTACULAR deadlift fail I expect you to rate my page so that I can have some cool stars at the top!
I rated you a few times but I don’t see any stars yet. Maybe if I punched myself in the face.
Tell your friend Siouxsie I like her.

YES!!! You totally made my day. I have stars. Please don’t punch yourself, punch someone else.
I will definitely let her know. She is hilarious and a lot of fun to lift with. I’m sure she will love to know that she is an internet superstar now!

I rated you a 1. How’s that. That’s not cool star"s" but just cool star 
kidding.
Yeah, tell Siouxsie that I was trying to analyze your deadlift but got distracted by trying to figure out why a woman would only be wearing underwear to the gym…

I know this trick. Super gooey sweetness is usually followed by feathers!
PUNCH HER TWICE! By the second punch she won’t be able to control the raging bitch within. This should spare us an attack of super gooey sweetness.
TODAY OFFICIALLY STARTS MEET PREP
Deadlift: 1RM 260 (1RM should be appx 10 perc lower than your true max.)
5x195 (75 perc of 1RM)
5x210 (apx 80 perc)
5x225 (apx 85 perc)
Back extension: 4x12x68lb cambered bar
Ab wheel of 2 inch platform: 3x12
This was lots of fun (for me anyway, I think mmgalb may think differently ;D). I got to use the belt and I LOVED it. It was so much easier to tighten my core on the lift. Big Jim was there to give lots of needed help with my form.
Ummm… yeah because I tried to commit suicide via deadlifting. DEATH BY DEADLIFT! Or a DEADLIFT MARATHON whatever you want to call it. Either way it was painful. I did about 4 sets of DL’s ranging from 135-225 in a matter of 3-4 minutes… I almost puked. Still feeling a little funny… Hmm… will let you know about Friday. Good Job today!

The word stubborn comes to mind!!!
Hahahahaha yes… that’s exactly why. My form kept sucking royally… and I knew we had to move onto the next exercise… so I just kept banging them out like a moron! (My coach kept telling me to stop and take a break…)
Anyway, here is your video Sb!

Very funny! I’m laughing on the inside.
so what are the benefits of using the bar as opposed to dbs or holding a plate in front of you?
Please respond with a nerdy answer, because I LOVE that!

There isn’t too much to it so sorry if my answer isn’t super nerdy. Plates only go up to 45 lbs so in order to increase the weight you have to use a bar.
I know Molly said it felt harder on the back but I found it quite a bit easier. This has more to do with body mechanics I imagine. The physics guy down the hall from me could probably give a pretty nerdy answer for why this, but my nerdiness lies elsewhere, so I will give you the answer that makes sense to me. I have ridiculously stumpy arms so I can’t wrap my arms around the weight to hold it comfortably. Molly on the other hand, is 7 inches taller than me so she doesn’t have the short arm problem.
But keep in mind, you need someone to help you if you plan to do it with the bar. So if you don’t have anyone to hand you the weight then stick with plates.

The benefit is that she gets to look like a giant nerd while doing them and everyone else can be jealous since they don’t have giant cambered bars.
