Shortgorilla Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I finally pulled 405 pounds. I've been focusing on rep work for a while and didn't think I would be able to pull it off. I had to wear straps, and I dropped it after I locked out because I was over excited, but I still did it. I'll try to make the next one a cleaner rep with with a nice descent. I feel like it's my birthday or something. I just had to share this. Thanks guys. 3 Quote PVP Challenge (Deadlift and OHP): http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/69895-shorts-race-for-the-big-two-ongoing-challenge/ My Battle Log: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/44606-shortgorilla-is-fat/ Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 4 plates, woot! It wouldn't have been legal in competition with all the hitching, but your probably have the base strength to get there Once you got past your knees, you extended your back way faster than your knees, which leaves the last part of the lift as basically a quarter squat. See how your hips drop right when you get past your knees? Don't want that. Try keeping the back angle closer to what it was before that point until your legs are a little closer to locking out. Adding some rack pulls to work just the top part of the movement with this focus could help. Staci does it too to a lesser extent. I think it's why her lockout is the hardest/slowest part of the lift for her. See if you can spot it. 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Shortgorilla Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ugh, yes. Hitching terribly. Always trying to move forward though. Thanks for the advice!
