im laughing at all you moops who actually think that it’s real. are you all so weak and small and lacking in lifting sense and experience that you can’t tell it’s parody?!
holy fuck…
Even parodied that looks really bad for your back; looks like he’s got around 200 lbs on the bar. That isn’t much, but you could still easily injure yourself doing that kinda shit.[/quote]
our backs are under flexion all the time. mysteriously, we’re not all in hospital beds. deadlifting with a flexed spine does not mean you’re predisposing yourself to injury, but that if you went too heavy, have severe muscle knots, poor focus, poor assisting muscle recruitment, etc. you’re predisposing yourself to back injury.
stand on your feet and flex your spine completely. are you now injured? no? okay. now do this with ten pound dumbbells. injured yet? no? build up in weight gradually and im sure you’ll find that you can handle a bit of weight in a rounded back position without even coming close to the kind of tension it takes to injure yourself lifting. some of us are strong enough to handle stuff like this with hundreds of pounds.
i think this guy used 300 pounds, and if you can deadlift 500 it’s not a big deal to purposely do some back rounding with 300. except that it’s pretty damn funny when getting the parody.
P.S. dont confuse what ive typed with people who’ve injured themselves with trivial weights. that’s an entirely different bag of doritos.
If that was truly a “near max” weight, there’s no way he’d be able to fuck around with it at the top of the lift like that without taking a header right into the floor. I’m guessing that’s more of a bent-over row weight for this guy. Gotta be a joke. A stupid one at that, though. I can only hope that dude really did screw up his back doin’ that shit. Stupid is as stupid does. Excuse me while I shake my head in disbelief…
why does everybody have these crazy ideas about what fucks up backs and what doesn’t? hey, dont ever do RDLs cuz you’ll pull a hammie cuz they get stretched and that’s bad. dont ever touch your chest with a bench press cuz you’ll pull a pec cuz they’re in a mechanical disadvantage when lengthened.
