I thought it was slow but clean, honestly, is ramping the same as hitching in that it wont count?

Under strict judging that lift would not have passed.

Gotcha…so I take it ramping is illegal?

Have any tips on form for me? Shocking revelation, but no one at my current gym deadlifts, their only advice is “it will hurt your back.”

ramping is a no no. just make sure you are strong enough to get the bar to lockout w/o ramping or hitching, lol. a lot of it has to do with being fast off the floor. pulling conventional, probably the best person to learn form from is Gillingham, I have seen him and the other Jackyl Gym guys pull many many times, and there form has kinda stuck with me.

I think the technical term is “supporting the bar on the thighs.” If motion stalls and knees break forward at all, you’ll get called for it.

Pete what is the difference with ramping vs hitching

and how do you manage to train in what your lunch is
and shower commute back etc?

gilingham is a beast.

Gonna see if I can find better words than mine re the difference between ramping and hitching. I almost take hitching to be a more inclusive term than ramping.

Lunch workouts I budget 1.5 hours. Commercial gym across the street from office. Gives me enough time and forces me to work harder, faster, especially on assistance day. Often like 40-50 sets in an hour floor time. More than enough time on cardio day.

WPC Rules:

Causes of Disqualification of a Deadlift

  1. Any downward motion of the bar before it reaches the final position.

  2. Failure to stand erect.

  3. Failure to lock the knees straight at the completion of the lift.

  4. Supporting the bar on the thighs during the performance of the lift. ?Supporting? is
    defined as a body position adopted by the lifter that could not be maintained without
    the counterbalance of the weight being lifted.

  5. Movement of the feet laterally, backward or forward that would constitute a step or stumble.

  6. Lowering the bar before receiving the head referee?s signal.

  7. Allowing the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both
    hands

Awesome, thanks Pete and kpsnap for the clarification. Time to get stronger.

BTW, I plan on having a plan prepared for you to look at by next Sunday evening

thanks for those rules,

good things to think about.

I need to coral my training into a shorter session
warmup mobility crap while essential takes up the bulk of my training

DF, you are doing exceptionally well for training by yourself with out any PLers around.

Kevin, you’re doing fine. My other days are 2-3 hours, because I do the mobility, etc, and the shit is heavier…

That may be the kindest thing you have ever said (typed?) to me. Lets not make a habit of that.

Being a “Loud Mouthed Whipper Snapper” does have its rewards, I pester people with questions till I get answers.

Per some trolling I have seen over in the PL forum, since I am muscular, wear gear, have a gut, etc etc I am some evil douche that is destroying the sport. I am completely cheating and should die, lol. This coming from a kid who admits he doesn’t lift and doesn’t compete. WTF? [/quote]

I do better just staying in the compound. When I get a kitchen pass, I usually end up frustrated with all the bozos behaving badly on the outside. Even in the PL Forum.[/quote]

Amazing the idiots that post in there from time to time. [/quote]

I have competed in exactly one meet and sometimes I read those posts and wonder how they can not get it so badly.

And all was right in the world.

This is how I ended up with a coach. I used to sit on the floor behind the head judge and ask questions at meets. I guess I was more endearing than annoying.

You I can see as being endearing…

squat deload

ssb close stance to box 5 x 6 w/405

ghr 5 x 6-15
hanging abs 5 x 10-15

rev hyper 3 x 10

prowler 90 x 40yrd x 6, eating bugs the whole way

20 minutes treadmill at high incline
20 minutes stepper
decline sits 3 x 15 w/50

yesterday I consumed 10,000 grams of carbs, or something thereabout. Water retention is amazing.

nothing like a heroic bloat
