Campaigner who owns the gym I go to has a sign on the mirror:I could feel my test levels dropping with every rep she completed
I have a long term goal of 3 x bodyweight deadlift, I feel like 255 at 85 is reasonably achievable for me^ damn. FWIW my best 1RM is 175kgs at 89kgs.
I still find that damn impressive.
Aeglos how does Martin Berkhan's deadlift fit into the not such thing as bad form equation, he's obviously fully adapted to it (and strong af) but is he doing damage to himself in the long run?
It's no issue. I just thought it was weird the first time I saw it. It's the IN thing with the squat crew.
I get it though. Squatting in normal runners isn't as stable.
I'm baffled how that deadlift guy hasn't hurt himself badly. Don't people hurt themselves with better form than that? I'm kinaesthetically inept, there's no way I'm deadlifting with perfect form (I do a few exercises at home), but even my form isn't as bad as that guys is. Makes me feel more optimistic about avoiding injury.
Allow me to introduce you all to the legend that is Diesel Weasel.
10 years ago this guy was the butt of jokes on the bodybuilding/5x5 interwebs. It was only a matter of time before he decapitated his back and wound up in traction.
He somehow managed to not mangle himself, and went from being an internet cautionary tale, to power lifting glory.
Diesel Weasel Totals 1295 @ 165 Raw!
From Max "Diesel Weasel" Misch: "The meet was SSA Long Island Classic on June 9th, in Holbrook, NY. This was a 25lb PR for my total, along with breaking SSA American records in the squat, deadlift, and total". Max finished the day with a 460lb squat, 265lb bench and a 570lb deadlift.
A few months later...
In this skills evaluation he hit 470, 295 and a 590 to give him a 1355 gym total... Max may very well cross the 600 pound barrier at RUM!

1) Define better form.
2) yes people get hurt with what aesthetically looks like better form - which is entirely the point of injuries occurring when demand exceeds command rather than any particular technique

Was feeling very manly after hitting a new squat pr (140kg for 3 singles)
Doing some 100kg leg press as an accessory and a young slender (attractive) half asian girls comes up to the adjacent leg press and chucks 120kg on there and starts repping them out
I could feel my test levels dropping with every rep she completed
Outlier.How the hell is this guy not in a wheelchair?
people hurt their backs spitting out toothpaste, getting out of a car, all sorts of mundane things. if the structures arent prepared for the movement or the the load, things can go wrong. if they are prepared and conditioned, go your hardest
Okay. I'll endeavour to keep my back as straight as possible and avoid going too low with my hips, but otherwise, it doesn't sound like it's going to be the end of the world if I don't execute the lift with textbook precision.
