I actually find that those aren’t too bad on the elbows until you go real heavy. A lot of people have problems with any sort of tricep extension giving elbow pain, the key is to do it in more of a bodybuilding style where you focus on squeezing the tricep to lift the weight rather than to get it up at any cost, and higher reps too.

I’ll try it out. I can smash triceps extensions and weighted dips all day and get a massive pump in the tris. Never really done much tricep extension-y kinda moves

Little bit of pause deadlifting today. Top single at 235kg for a PR. No tights or slippers today felt a bit weird. Takes me back to before I injured my back (see below). Bit thicker now lol.

Oh man, it looks like your toes were so close to getting smashed, gave me the creeps lol. But that is some damn impressive pausing there, jeebus.

Thought doesn’t really enter my mind tbh. Bars/plates go straight up and down so the few inches clearance i have is plenty
I know. Just reminds me of a few close calls where bumper plates on a crossfit floor have a way of bouncing an inch or two in either direction.
Ye with bumpers on certain floors be a bit different. The one time I stubbed my toe with the weight was when it took a bounce to one side so didnt take the full impact. One of the few benefits of thin plates i guess.

I actually have a more or less permanent “bruise” on the nail of my big toe…not from a deadlift, but from a bouncy plate kinda smooshing it. I tossed it off to the side a bit, it landed funny and sorta bounced back on my foot. It doesn’t take much for a 20 kilo plate to wreck a toe!
Kinda asking for it if u disrespect the weight throwing it around like that

Pretty sure he slows down the video by like x4 to make that pause appear longer than it really is.

In your case…slow it down by x12 I think.

he’d need to pause his vid in slow motion

Right, so he would have to take a video of his paused video. That would work quite well I think. Pause Video Deadlifts.

Nah im just advising you to do three count pauses so even if u rush it’s still a pause
