I am only exclusive here now, I don't like the way things are going. Things are getting too negative and it's never going to stop unless one does something about it.

If you got any questions, just PM me or make a thread here. And Mods, please don't bring anything here unless it's positive. Otherwise keep it behind closed doors AKA PM.

So now you are telling us how to run this site huh.

Josh- I don't mean to offend you but this just an example of what I meant by this site being 'smothered' by Mods.

Peaked makes a remark which is considered out of line and it's jumped all over by the Mod staff. That feeling of e-claustrophobia isn't gonna do great things for this site in my humblest of humble opinion.


Peaked- quick question. When I deadlift do I have my feet outside of my hands or inside. I was dealifting this morning and I suddenly hit a 'crisis of confidence' with my form. Very weird

Usually inside, depending on shoulder width. A shoulder width grip is good to let the bar travel in a shorter distance making a lift easier and can possibly use a bigger weight. Many times with convential stance people find a spot they feel comfortable at and usually have the arms outside of the knees. Some prefer the sumo stance and that is inside the knees. I would say if your deadlifting in the conventional style, use a shoulder width arm length and figure what you feel comfortable with.

Thanks guys!!! :nosthumbs

hands outside is definately my most natural position and what I've been doing. Like I said, yesterday I had a weird crisis of confidence. Problem solved!! :crazy1:

I've heard "sumo deadlifters are born, not made", and it's definitely true. I couldn't imagine pulling conventional style. I bet when I was 4 years old I would have walked up to it sumo. I DL wide, I squat wide, my football stance is wide. If you have to ask, I'm guessin you're a conventional style

Peaked_18

Welcome RNS, I take it you are doing some powerlifting?

DarkFalcon

Hey beast when are you going to post some pics for us? You must be one of the biggest guys here how come you don't show it off?

I think that's probably true for the most part. I tried "sumo" style and hated it!

Word. I don't find they are explosive enough for me.
