SOOOOOOOOOO.

I didn't lift yesterday or today. Why? Because I'm dumb and have been partying. I don't regret it really though. I may try and go for a heavy single on deads on Thursday, I've been reading up a lot on form and stuff. I wanna get some thick socks or some shin guards though, I have serious shin splints from a couple years ago and having the bar hit them hurts SO bad.

In other news, I ordered something for myself:

Elite Fitness Systems

Can't wait till they come.

Wednesday, 1/2: Kick In the Nuts

So I read up on deadlifting a lot this past week, realized I've been doing a lot of things wrong. I never got the bar close to my shins at all, I need to keep my hips down more, etc. So I decided to go for a big sumo pull today.

Sumo Deads
135x3
185x3
225x1
275x1
315x0 (belted)
*"ok... I'll use this to fuel my rage and get it next time"*
315x0 (belted)

I'm very pissed off. Time to murder my weaknesses.

Speed Deads
185x1
185x1
185x1
185x1
185x1
185x1
185x1
185x1

Good Mornings
115x5
115x5
115x5
115x5
115x5

I can't believe I can't pull a meager 315. For someone weighing almost 200 lbs thats pretty bad. I need to train harder. A lot harder.

I'll be crushed if my squat has gone down. Guess I'll see in a week or two.

**Succio** · 01-03-2008, 03:31 AM

It's hard to judge your own deadlift form. The best advice I can give you is tape your deadlift and post it up here.

On another note, i think you've seen my deadlift videos, and see that i use to do SLDL, and now im able to keep my hips down and prevent a SLDL.

I think the thing that helped me out the most was snatch grip deads on a platform.
Also, if you look at my or bigDmans deadlift vids, you can see that we do a little ''ass raise'' right before pulling. It really helps. just stick your ass up in the air as if you were goign to do a SLDL, then bring your hips down and pull.

HTH

aka reseting your hamstrings before the lift. Lots of o-lifters do that

XiLe Ultra · 01-04-2008, 04:51 PM

damn your legs weren't at the bar?? Hip fixing is difficult though, I still can't do it properly when I go really heavy.

danman77220 · 01-10-2008, 02:26 AM

Alright, sorry I haven't updated in a while. Here's all my shit for this week. Some weights/reps may be wrong but it's pretty accurate.

+ light power snatches to overhead squats, and light full cleans

- - -

Kid in my class tried telling me squatting so low was bad. First thing was during a set, he said, "man, that's blow-out-your-knees deep." I let it go.

Later on though, he started it up again. Here's basically how it went.

Him: "Goddamn that's TERRIBLE for your back."
Me: "Bullshit."
H: "You're only supposed to go to parallel."
M: "Dude you know that squatting deep is easier on your knees than stopping short, right?"
H: *shakes his head*
M: "Look at Olympic lifters. They squat ass-to-grass with 400 lbs on their shoulders and they're fine."
H: "That's just because they have knee wraps."
M: "No, that's power lifting and that gives them a weight advantage."
H: " NO DUDE IT'S OLYMPIC LIFTING."

I couldn't stop laughing right here and the kid just went off. I later saw him squat 245 for a solid 5 reps, but he failed to hit parallel every single time.
