I liked that releasing the dl from the top vid too. Very helpful.
Not sure I wont get into trouble for doing that.
The most bumper like plates we have are the ones he showed with the handles. I’ll give it a try on Friday as I will be doing heavy singles to see if I can get to 2 plates. 0_0
Oh and I liked the Tom Cruise sprint vid too. If you don’t look ugly while sprinting you aren’t running fast enough.

atta way! nice weighted chins, too!
edgy-congratulations on the PR!
Charlie-I’ve been looking up cholo pics, thanks to you. there’s this picture of two ‘cholos’ chilling in a bathtub that keeps popping up. here’s the best i’ve found.
So did deadlifts tonight. Things went fine. I got 225 and vid for it but not sure the pull would get past the judges, not sure if I got it or not. Oh and I was lazy and didn’t take off the 35s, and 5 pound plates from the 215 I pulled before, I just added on 5lbs pound plates. So it doesn’t look any different. Blah.
Wrist trouble too. My strongest grip is mixed with right hook and left reverse but that hurt my wrist, so I was going with the other mixed grip. Which hurt a bit less but felt weird and not as strong.
This is 195lbs for 1. Form check. I know my ass is high but can’t figure out how to start with a lower ass position without knee travel(ouch).
Another form check 205lbs
If the 225 is not good then this is my new PR 215lbs
This is the 225lbs. Yes, no,? I felt like I didn’t get the squeeze at the top. :-/
No sprints the lights were off at the park for some reason and it had been raining all day. Blah.
I think I need to add chalk to the list of things I need for lifting. Bar was slipping.
I was so beat after 225 that there were no accessories.

Well, you know you can get it UP! The strength is there.
…really bring the hips through…HUMP IT!!!
If your sticking point is at the knees, extra work on low back,glutes and hammies! Have you played with rack pulls??[/quote]
No never done rack pulls. I have been wondering what to do with that last bit where I wiggle it up. lol
Wasn’t sure what was the issue(I had been thinking upper back strength but maybe glutes and hammies instead). Either way an accessory that focuses on the last part of the pull sounds like what I need.
Will go on an article/vid hunt to find out positions and all that stuff. I’m a visual learner.

I noticed that in all three of your attempts.

Char, here is my go-to video for Deadlifts…study this and especially crushing the bar…you DL will improve dramatically…Congrats on a great effort!

My legs are pretty close to being bent like his at the start of my pull, if I focus on my back being as angled as his I’m squatting the weight up. I used this vid before and either the squats or the deads hurt my knees. I’m trying to stay away from using short gorilla proportioned peoples vids as guides.
More like make my low back stable, quarter squat leg angle, and not let my ass fly up.
I’m the opposite of a gorilla and I have yet to find a vid of a short armed long legged dler.
Long leg, long arm, yep.
Short arm, short leg, yep.
Long armed, short leg, yep.
Oh and everyone appears to have a long torso too.
:-/
I appreciate the help guys. I’m going with rack pulls. Probably from the knees or where ever the last half of the dl happens/starts.

Hmmm…1) how tall are you? 2) where does the pain in the knees generate from? 3) have you done a knee assessment?
Way to go Charlie! I am obviously the LAST person that should be giving deadlifting advice, but I will send ya out a shit ton of cyber congrads. <<<**>>>!!!

My knees aren’t as bad as hers but I wasn’t doing anything he was saying don’t do and my pain WAS at the front of the knee. It hurt during dls and squats. Just getting back into dls and almost back into squats. I also have women on both sides of the family with knee replacement surgeries. I don’t so stuff that hurts my knees, much. Just try to keep them going as long as I can.

Energy? Not sure I get what you’re saying?
[/quote]
just like those who shuffle and wiggle about before they squat. That wastes energy. I’d rather see you taking some deep breaths, thinking about the lift and THEN bend, grip and RIP!
just my two pennies
