2013 Powerlifting Totals

R3DBuLL get yourself over to the form thread, that deadlift is a one way ticket to snap city.
 
Not only is it a quick way to check into snap city, it's also poor technique which robs you of power.
 
The thing is a little bit of form compromise is acceptable on 1 RM. I tend to not want more than 10% distortion because you are putting your body through its maximum effort, ergo much more tension/torque and power is being channelled, meaning that if it does go wrong, it's going to seriously go wrong - or if not corrected, and repeated continuously, long term issues will arise.

The odd bit of bad form is always going to happen. However hitting that number for the sake of hitting the number rather than just accepting the weight is beyond you is just not worth it. However, it's up to you what you do :)

Also good form = improved lifting potential and power channelling. Lastly, that belt didn't look effective or as if it is being used properly either.
 
I just wouldn't want to put myself in that position personally, but then that's the reason I can't lift anything, so hey.

I was going to say I have seen worse but having watched it play/pause a second time I did squirm a bit.

Impressive weight no doubt about that but potentially more in the tank with decent form. Decent form being key over more weight of course!
 
Awesome work Mason :) It's a nice feeling isn't it? :D

Update for me:

Old
Delvis ------------- 60+ / 110 / 150 -------------- [82] ------ 320

New
Delvis ------------- 67.5 / 110 / 150 -------------- [84] ------ 327.5
 
New squat PB YEAH! I knew I had more than 110 in me so I went for 120 actually managed 3 reps all parallel maybe slightly below. Then went for a 130 hit the most depth I've ever hit. Started coming up, grind, grind, grind, fail. Couldn't get it. Next time :). Newby gains ftw.

Please update.
80+ bench
120+ squat
150 dl.

Also 45 pb on OHP.
 
newby gains?

Have you not been training for like a month or two? That's amazing gains in a short time. Much do you weigh?
 
Mason your doing well mate, enjoy your big size and capitalize on the gains. If you stick with t your gonna be a 105kg+ beast /jelly :D
 
I'm happy this is still going, I went through the 2012 list and there's a few chaps I'm sad to not see here anymore. It's such a pity.

I'm hoping to be on here again one day, I'm also kicking myself I never listened to Tank and Morba when they said I should compete, even just to try it.

Old( just before injury)
