I agree nice pull and Think if you relax a bit, take a second to get in a steady, focused mind set and set up for the lift you got another 10-20 in you that looked very easy and was damn near stiff legged

Good work
Keep it up

I cant focus when I lift. I need to go completely mental.

I know its almost a stiff legged but thats how I pull best :smiley: With quite Long arms and a short torso, stiff legged is the way to go.

Actually, with long arm you should be able to get your hips under you better.

I dont agree and neither do Konstantin: Konstantin deadlift - YouTube

Stiff legged is the way to go for me. Thats what works best.

edit: But I appreciate you input.

I wasnā€™t arguing the finer points of form. I was just disagreeing with your conclusion that long arms cause more stiff legged deadlifts.

Nice pull, and donā€™t worry, Phill isnā€™t ragging on you. He pulls about as stiff legged as I do. Itā€™s what works for him, what works for me, and apparently what works for you.

Nice job, you made it look easy.

27

Didnā€™t really look like a stiff leg to me at all. Thought sequence was pretty good.

Nice job.

Thanks guys. I will try to pull 511.5 lbs at Thursday. Wish me luck!

Thanks man. I appreciate you words. I hope that I can give you a 511 lb pull at Thursday.

I pulled 511.5 lbs today. I did it without the white powder (donā€™t know what that is called in English) on my quads today because I couldnā€™t find it so there was more friction.

Iā€™m messing with my self in the lockout because I thought that I didnā€™t reach full lockout. You see how I move my back forward and then backward again.

And of course a clip of my trainingpartener Marcus.

17 year old - 60kg/132lb - 185kg/407lb (4kg over the swedish sub-junior record) easy deadlift.

Still looks like thereā€™s more to come Im afraidā€¦ Try 250kg next time :wink:

Great pulling.

The white stuff is either called Talc or Baby Powder here in Ireland aat least.

I will go for 235kg and then 240 next week.

Thanks

We call it the same here in Sweden except that we spell it Talk. Baby powder is also a common name for it.
