150Kg dead ****ing lift x 4 reps.

Not even the French guy here in these forums can beat this!!!

yeah broke the ****ing record

150kg? Is that it? Come back when you can actually lift more than girly weights.

Ok just to make him happy:

150kg x 17

This is an old vid though (2 years?)

LiE · 12 Apr 2012 at 21:38

Do you still bounce the weight FF

Skillmister · 12 Apr 2012 at 21:38

I'll probably be doing 1Rm at bodyweight by the time the meet comes around

I'll beat you all at pink dumbell kickbacks though

Stop trolling - get out of this thread.

Are you missing having the power to enforce that now?

I recognise the place in that video strangely enough and my dulcet tones counting for you as well.

Bit of a strange session at the gym today, I felt pretty good while I was lifting and I didn't think there was anything wrong with my form but I can feel that my lower back isn't 100% with it. I might have just been sitting a bit funny in work today though and it has nothing to do with the gym. Either way I've had a warm bath to try and ease it a bit and hopefully a good sleep will sort it out.

Over the past couple of pages, I'm not sure who's trolling, who's mickey taking and who's genuinely misinformed

Oh well, great shoulder session today.
Implemented DB Upright Row, much better!

Gamefreak501 · 12 Apr 2012 at 21:46

Horrible session at the gym today!

Ended up doing 15 mins of HIIT CV and just didn't have the energy to do much else.

Oh, I did some Crunch throws with a 5kg medicine ball...3 lots of (wasn't counting the reps).

I am hoping tomorrow goes better, I'll probably do some back and biceps work and some more CV because 15 mins isn't good enough really. Especially when, previously I have been able to do 25-30 minutes worth of HIIT. Hopefully just an off day.

Kind regards,

David

I remember that, from the deadlift challenge if I recall.

Cheers Dom, it's great to see results when putting in the effort

Testing rep maxes next week then on to 5/3/1 and a controlled cut/maintenance diet over the summer months. Need to get rid of the left over fat from my pre gym days, expecting to be able to get down to 70-72kg (currently 78.5), hopefully while gaining some strength still.

Next weeks targets are bench 100kg, squat 140kg, and for deads anything over 150, 160 would be nice.

Pwned!

I think I have found a calorific snack (courtesy of the family!) to help up my cals, not sure of the exact recipe but it has:

Butter
Flour
Almonds
Raisins
Sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Hemp powder

Nom nom nom!

You'll nail those weights Syla5

Djdom56 · 12 Apr 2012 at 22:53

Yeah, from the looks of what you have been posting they should be easy

On the topic of form. You drive with your legs until straight, then pull the chest back, keeping back as straight as possible throughout?

icecold · 12 Apr 2012 at 22:58

I remember seeing FF's vid!

We should do another deadlift challenge

Good luck with the PBs Syla. 4 scoops of Jack3d? :eek:

Of course.. it's not a deadlift unless you do?! :confused:

It was indeed!

We should! It was fun! But nuts

That vid isn't best form - Dom's latest vid shows excellent form. My vid was part of a deadlift challenge (how many you could do 1.5x bodyweight) - so form was a little bit compromised.

You drive with your legs, then thrust your hips forwards with the gutes to finish.

You HAVE to keep the back straight - no question there. Any rounding, or any lower back rounding then don't bother. :mad:

The amount you have bent your knees, is what your doing more partial deadlift or is this as low as is required?

Bent knee's, you mean at the start of the lift? This is what you do when deadlifting, unless its a Stiff Leg Deadlift you're wanting to do.

I'm attempting to lift those 'girly weights' today
