345lb Deadlift 2/25/06

 

[Winter]

The first rep was ugly. Kinda bad form. 2nd rep was much better.
I gotta tell you, that 345 was felt very heavy. I probably won't go that high for awhile. I'm going to stick with a bit lower weight next week.

 

[blackbeard]

Congrats on the PR
keep working youll get higher in no time

heavy sets of 3-5 will do wonders for you form as well as raise your 1RM without even having to do a 1RM

bruh i jsut watched ur clip
i reall think you got a lot more left...you had good speed on both pulls

its hard to tel with the cam so far away you should put it in front of you next time..

2 things i noticed
it looks as if your hands might be too far apart (hard to tell from the clip)
rememeber to keep your but down you dont wanna lock the legs first and then dump everything on the low back..remember to keep your hips under you and then slide them through

 

[Winter]

Thanks man.
My index/pinkie are on the first rings of the bar - About a foot away from each other.
I will try keeping my ass down a bit and using my legs more because I felt that lift a lot if not all on my lowerback.

Thanks for the advice.

nice work Winter...congrats also on the PR for Deads.

on the vid i agree move the cam a lil' closer. cant see to well what yur doin. and your form looks about the same as mine (although i dont use gloves or a belt..i think i may need to get one though). i have to say thats one fancy lookin gym you got there. i like your wt plates.

 

[Winter]

Lol. Let me explain why the camera's so far back.
My partner placed the camera on auto-cam because I needed a spotter and there was no one around to hold the camera that we really trusted and whatnot so that's why he placed it on the closest thing that would hold the camera.

And yeah, I like my plates too. I love the green.

hey winter nice clip.

seems everybody does deads a little different, but i agree with blackbeard in that you may want to lower your hips just a tad bit. i think you can do more in no time bro. nice job and thanks for the clip.

 

[Winter]

Thanks blackbeard, adidamps and Tman on the advice & everything. I'll try fixing up my form next workout and I'll get a new recording when I get 365lbs up.

youll get it in no time..
nothing wrong with taking a week to regroup and work form a little before hitting ur next goal

Nice vid Winter. Congrats for that deadlift. 345 2 reps is a great lift bro! You're having great progress. Keep it up.
