Here goes nothing, BTW, TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME, i tend to be a little loud psyching myself for the lift. Empty gym FTW.

And no it's not a full deadlift, it's a partial deadlift, I mentioned why I do this instead of a full dead in my workout journal, it's just a personal preference of wanting to concentrate on my back rather than go full ROM and involve my legs.

IMHO, looks dangerous walking out the weight like that. not a fan of partial DL's but thats some heavy shit!

The only rack available is attached to the smith machine. I do with what I have. And quite frankly, if i were to lose my grip, it's just a matter of letting it drop on the floor. As safe as the situation allows it to be.

i suppose. well cant comment on form, looks alright to me lol but then again im a newb. it did look like you had at least one more in the tank though

nah, that was my 18th set from the whole workout. Everything is fried already. I don't like playing with fire. I was at 315 for 6, and I figured i can get like 3 on this. 1 rep and I realized ,damn, my system is out. So I just rack it back. This was the first time I had it recorded, and I was getting concerned that my form is breaking cuz of the fatigue, so I had one of the PTs check my form on the 315 and on this.

one more thing, it was getting really hard to balance the bar cuz it was kind of bending. Took me awhile to go into starting position before going down for the rep because of that.

Heavy load!

But on the setup, would it be better if you used your legs to bring it off the floor into position rather than walking those few steps?

I LOL

thought about it before and I did it before this. Then I made the switch to just pick it off the rack instead. Bringing that bar up from the floor takes a bit out of me before I even start the set. So i figured to just cut down the work I had to do to go into position. Actually I don't get why you guys say that it's a bit dangerous to walk out like that? The only thing I can think of is that I lose my grip. Unless you guys are talking about tripping over ?

Lifting it off the floor, the bar travels in one vertical direction. Up or down.

Walking it out, there is a lot more movement to the weight and 400 lbs is quite a load to balance when shifting your weight from one foot to the other.


But I've seen a fair share of people doing the walkout. Just that the scariest part of the vid was the walkout portion, hence our concern. If you're comfortable enough with it, it's ok.

All right mates. Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll try not to walk out that far back, and stay close with the rack

impressive poundages..mirin'..my deadlift is like 280 x 6..lol

but.....when u gonna cut brah? unless ur aiming to powerlift then it doesnt apply

cut-TING. I was even rounder b4 this.

my turn, criticisms are most welcome! its far from perfect, long way to go. on another note, the 5 reps seemed easier than last time, probably from the GVT squats or form change, i dont know. either way im happy my strength level hasnt gone down ever since i started gvt.

100kg x 5 squat. did 105kg x 2, and 105kg x 3 after this set. lost balance on the third rep, weight got too in front on the way up.


60kg x 8 squat, last 2 reps stayed in the hole for a bit. this was the burnout set after the 105kg x 3


previous video of 80kg x 8 for comparison, i think the angle here quite similar so easier to compare
