Lol, I will try my best to get pedro to take a vid of me eating this week.

Not bad mate!

If you don't mind a noob(who deadlifts way less poundage than you) comment

I think on the way up and down the bar needs to touch your leg(shin, etc) and you seem unstable on the lift.

Guys, the most important thing after eating several pounds of red meat is.... you need to have dessert, any ice cream will do but I recommend Haagen Das. Nom nom nom nom....

bro darkie, seriously, i lol at the pic of u eating the ice cream. . u looks like a 5 y/o boy, but with his dad's body.

was never comfortable touching the shin part, so what i did was to hold it as close to my leg as possible. i -dont- think it matters, really, just a way to keep your center of gravity as stable as possible. might be wrong though

well its a pr attempt, bound to be unsteady, lol. thanks mate!

your back seems to be rounding a bit, did u feel uneasy on ure lower back after that?

yeap kinda noticed it too. back was alright after that, just felt the way it always felt when i deadlift.

its all good then, but do take note on your back as you go heavier... it gets nasty to ure lower back if form slips

mike, when you dead lift, do you pull with your back, or do you push up from your heels like a squat (movement of the hip). Because, if you do pull up using your back like in your video, thats why your back is kinda rounding.and I notice when you go down, you tend to keep your hips pretty high up, unless you collapse your back(which causes rounding), you shouldnt be able to go all the way down to the floor. How about, try lowering your hips. I hope you get the picture?

hmmmmm.. i think i mostly pull with my back, except the bottom portion of the lift. lift off is definitely with more hip action. yeah i get what you're saying, shall lower the weight and try again. after this week im going for volume work already heh. enough of sub 5 reps of heavy ass weights.

Nice deltoid.


@mikehuan, welcome to the 2xBW club! Your next target will be to chase Kaffatsum deadlift poundage ratio... 2.4 or something... . I think even performed raw, his poundage already high... not sure what is his true capability is... need to continue watching his journal (especially after ramadhan). Anyway, good job!



@cyloh, we should not mind taking advice from other (even if their poundage is much lower than us), because... people who failed many times learned a LOT. That is a fact!

Dude, when u say raw does it mean without straps and belt? Raw usually means without a deadlift shirt on...

By the way guys, do u guys usually scratch your forearms on the side of the pants while deadlifting? There was once i wear my shorts in which the material are rougher than my gym pants and my forearm got scratch pretty bad, carry the scar with me for month.

Morning guese... TGIF and any fresh pics from ya all?

yeah... raw in deadlift means no strap, no belt.

Not many boy have a dad with such HUGE body. Fat daddies, yes. But not many dark-daddy.

belts are allowed.

Heh... I'm gonna go for 3 double GCB burgers later for lunch. I wonder if they're still selling it. I love weekends. Cheat days are to be appreciated. Not like I eat like that all the time.

No.... Wait.....

I belief they will have double GCB to at least a few weeks after raya. Prosperity is their CNY special, and apparently GCB had becomes their Ramadan and Raya special.

i hope they come up with GBB... Grill Beef Burger...
