Wish I had someone to coach me like that lol. Pulled off a 130kg deadlift the other day but grip really weak.

Reminiscence of female mentality.

LOL. Some people know how to enjoy themselves surrounding by sissies.

MOD EDIT: LOL. Some people know how to enjoy themselves "surrounded" by sissies. [Grammar error I think Co-Factor3]

The Man train under you is crazy strong. eg: Retarded Jon , David

6 weeks to deadlift 155kg is just awesome.

i've been training for 1 years and i am only able to pull around 125kg with straps.

130kg considered strong la bro...using straps ?? just power grip ?? me only doing 4 x 8 x 105kg...It's pretty much what I can do, and what I can do is fine...

The fella 70kg can pull 135kg leh. I'm 80 and can't lift nuts lol. Just gripping with gloves. Here's the vid pizzaboy. I think I'm rounding my back a bit?

90kgx10

I'm seeing your video, and you've 3 movements in the first 2 deadlift repetitions, instead of a streamlined press+lock. This is causing you to lose stability and tension.

Your setup is only about 50% solid and you don't drive at all.

You didn't lock your back and your angles are slightly off.

Your pulling the weight with your spine and not spreading the load on your back structure thus causing your bar to feel heavier than it needs to be.

You need to bring it closer to your center of gravity (COG) and not lose balance.

Notice 0.16-0.18, you're falling backwards and then on 0.19, you're standing steady again? Look at your heels if you can't see what
I'm talking about. You don't have a set image of your movement in your head, instead you just move based on what you see on the internet.

You hardly use your legs and your friend's bloody ugly so get him to stay clear of the camera or he'll crack it and cause you to need to buy a new one.

I don't coach Jon. I just fixed his form.

If you're only able to pull 125KG with straps after 1 full year of training, there's a serious technical flaw there I can guarantee you that. I've a lady client, who managed to pull 125KG after 1 month with me and 6 months on herself, after I sent her off with a idea of how to program. She does Crossfit btw, so her emphasis on strength is less. She only trains deadlifts and squats once a week each. She weighs 55KG now (A lil tall for a woman) so she's really doing a good job.

I always use my cousin as a reference. He's 6'3 and weighs 80KG. If he can deadlift 115Kg just by fixing his form, and having trained for about 2 weeks, anybody can deadlift.

Change different weight plates size to go down further still with the 135Kg. Try to arc your chest cavity back at full stretch and look up 35 deg, hold there for 2 ~ 3 seconds before rebounding.

Added on December 12, 2009, 12:59 pmNo. "surrounding" and "surrounded" are both grammatical correct but with different meaning in this context.

Darkie might however agreed with you.

Its damn hard to learn when no one is there to point out the mistakes and correct me when i'm actually deadlifting. Gah... I can't picture what you are telling me to do.

*Would I injure myself with this form? I think I have to post a squat video also... I need a real life coach zzz.

Changing the plates height but retaining the lifting weight will involve more muscles as you go down deep for DL. You'll get result better than your current form.

Real man go down deep unless you are putting up a sissy show...

try watch this vid ...

Forward movement at 3.14 is a big no-no.

woot, 55kgBW deadlift at 125kg is just simply awesome, using hook grips?
the higest i tried is 127.5kgx5reps after few set of warmup set(Start from 60kg and goes to the actual set with 20kg increment)
none can point out my form in my gym, as they never deadlift, even they did but with wrong form too
when i deadlift i make sure chest up, and flat lower back, the grips is really an issues to me. i'm figuring how to use hook grip, straps hurts so much

this is my deadlift video, have correct the stand width to shoulder width and hand close to feet based on your comment

I'm surprised at how many gyms in Malaysia don't seem to have a "no shirts, no shoes, no service" rule. I hope all of you guys towel off the equipment when you're done using it! >:|

didn't you suppose to stretch / lock out finally ??

I feel he's just dropping the bar, and not controlling down slowly. Muscles do get stimulated at the negative movments too. No point lifting that much if the form is wrong...he's just going to injure his back.

I'm guessing you lacking exercise from chin/pull-up? The use of powerball can also be a good remedy.

Try them before the DL.

if you were refer to me, i just take off shirt to have better view of my body form. i am always with my shirt on and bring the damn towel to gym

you mean hypertention the lower back? i locked out but just dont hypertention

anything related to pull up? you means improve the grips via pullup? i cant pull up, and i am working hard on it

Bingo!!!

but if i were to do pull up before deadlift. my deadlift is bye bye d.

You are only strongest at your weakest link. Time to revamp your workout and see which weight at DL you can tolerate after pull-up. You know when to increase the weight back once you get the feel of a stronger grip developing.
