Hey Mosley,
Thanks for sharing your training vids. I assume you are posting the videos to get people’s reactions
You boys go hard. Respect.
For me, watching the deadlift by Jordan did make me cringe a little bit.
I think it would have been less cringe-inducing if we saw the lifts before he got to the max pull. (Also, as a viewer, I notice Jordan is the smallest in the group and that get me thinking: man, he might be getting caught up in keeping up with his peers.
Anyway, not trying to engage you in a discussion on any of these points. Just wanted you to read the reaction. Peace bro.

Thanks Moe! I appreciate the respect you just gave us, and I know the rest of the guys do as well! Judging by your pic, you go hard in the gym too! you look awesome man, keep up your hard work!
Now on to my response to this mess
Its crazy that all this fuss has started over a crappy looking DL of mine! Was it horrifying to watch? Yes! Was my form awful? Yes! But what does that matter to anyone? If you feel the need to comment, dont state the obvious by saying I looked awful, I know I did! Why not offer encouragement, or words of advice? I dont go bashing anyone, so why bash me?
Ive got a group of guys around me that have trained with, and competed against some of the best powerlifters in the world! So no one needs to “teach” me how to dead lift, I know how, and when I mess up, the guys are there to correct me! In fact, I got a lot of hell from the group after that deadlift, the first thing I heard from brando was “Damn, youre back was rounded all to hell!” He then proceeded to remind me of the proper technique! So we know what were doing, worry about yourself shore!
TO be honest, I did go a little heavier, or maybe a lot heavier than I should have on that day, but I wanted to give it a shot! It had nothing to do with keeping up with the other guys in the group, but was just a challenge to myself!
This thread is a training log, so we all post our stuff to keep up with our training, and to welcome CONSTRUCTIVE criticism from the generally nice, knowledgeable and respectful posters here at TNATION.
I feel I can speak for the group when I say that we have all had a positive experience here, and have had the opportunity to speak to some great people!
Heres my story, Ive been seriously training for strength since around april of this year, Ive come a long way since then, but have a long way to go. Im still a small, weak guy, but I will continue to work on it, and hopefully someday Ill be able to reach the goals Ive set for myself!
