Wife has seen new GHR…Oh Hell
Great news on the GHR. Where did you get it from?
Also great news on your son. Academics and sports are a winning combo and will take him places than a singular focus can’t.
If you were pulling like Adam then why did you change? That form looks good to me. You’re definitely strong enough to listen to your own voice. Unless you posted the question up in the BB forum…sorry, I had to get that cheap shot in there.

Basically I’m a idiot. I had two bad Meets in a row regarding deads so I went into a panic. So it started me down the road of over analyzing every thing. So I revamp how I was pulling which was a mistake on my part. the most embarrassing thing is Ive stuck with it. You know the saying, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Congrats on your boys being asked for the team. Hey, was there any doubt? They’ve both been active, you’ve encouraged them, trained them. How wonderful they’re being rewarded for their discipline.
God, Adam makes deadlifts look like poetry. You’ll get your form back. Don’t forget, you never could have built yourself into a big mass of muscle by letting self-doubt beat you.
I guess it a feather in my cap that I have two kids that are academic stand outs. Along with one being a stand out athlete on top of that.
In all honesty I had to edit what you wrote.

Yep. I’d like to see a vid of your DL now. I’ve done the same thing with my DL and believe I’m just going back to the same shitty thing that worked in the first place.

I don’t know how awesome it is. But I will say it does make it interesting rolling out of bed on a Sunday morning.

LOL…In all reality I suffer from “Strengthorexia”. In all reality strength has always been my obsession. Even when I was trying the BB thing when I was younger. Besides my philosophy is any size I might have is a byproduct of trying to get strong and not the goal in itself.

Its nothing that major. Other then my feet are just wider. Its almost a modified sumo but not as wide with my hands still outside.
Scroll down the page and you will see a old video of me doing rack pulls from just below the knee. You can get a general idea of my stance.
