bigm141414 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey guys! Just wanted to quickly update y'all. Since I didn't video myself lifting 355, I went in today and got on camera for my 365 workset. Video below shows 3 pulls. But I did finish the set right after with another 2 pulls. I blame the wiggly hex plates on the second rep. Also, notice the excellent chest up cue at the beginning? All thanks to sage advice from the Master of Dead lifts that I got here. I look funny in the gym doing it but it works. Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
