Matt, no offence meant, but I strongly disapprove what you're doing.
Please stop and get a regular Oly bar. Please.
Oh, and go barefoot, those shoes seem to be far too soft.

Ahhh, this requires money, of which I have none.
And the shoes are hiking boots, so very stiff, I can't do anything in bare feet anymore; the arthritis in my foot is too bad. I had a pair of Converse I used for lifting, but it's just too painful.

I am old and poor, but unable to accept it...[emoji12]

I second this.  Start a gofundme for a real bar!

I was thinking of starting to do deadlifts again but with an underhand (supinated) grip as it would be more relevant to the move that is shutting me down on the Oak which finishes in being stretched out on an undercut.

Anything I should be aware of (such as elbows exploding) ?

So, multiple reps. Completely put the bar down in between, or just touch & go again?

Obviously both.
Resting the bar on the ground eliminates even the slightes stretch reflex from the muscles. Every rep is just like the first rep.
Touch and go - no bouncing - is good for the flow and for max reps PB.

Psyched by the arrival of the new plates, I managed a very good deadlifting session, after a lot of time.
Ramped up to 128 kg, all lifts first go. Probably a bit too much volume and not enough rest before the last lift. 120 felt easy.
The did 120 x 3 and 108 x 7.
Very happy. Nothing to make Eddie Hall shit his pants, but I'm happy. I would love to hit 3 x BW some day, but it would probably mean sacking every other training for a couple of years. Can't see it happening anytime soon.

Good lifting nibs

1 hour once a week most weeks for 3 years (from whenever you started the thread!) I was never comfortable with it interfering with other training and tbh can only psyche myself up for that much effort once a week anyway! - however all the other training you do is so intense you might run up against CNS fatigue - I feel totally drained for days after that 1 hour.. Your psyche is way higher than mine tho

Try bicep curls, supine pull ups or planche push ups with your hands at your waist.

It might be a good idea to try and isolate the specific parts of the body to understand what the weakest link in the chain is.  Then match it to a specific exercise, then come back to a compound expertise such as simulating the move once your strength has improved

Cheers Measles!
I'm quite happy also because I'm lifting with a 3 cm deficit. As you know, it makes a big difference.
I'd say that probably the main problems for me would be lack of time and desire to progress in many other fields (snatch, clean, clean and press, core tension, board climbing, finger strength, finger strength, finger strength), especially finger strength.
Fitting everything in requires a serious planning that I don't think I'm capable of, but let's see... I've been training according to my feeling and psyche for the last five years or so, I don't know if I can go back to having a fixed schedule.
Thanks for the psyche.
It's surely worth trying.

Love deficits - for peeps who think normal DL just isn't challenging enough!

Sorry for slow response Shark - double supinated grip is very rare and a bit odd; the obvious danger is biceps tears/ biceps tendon ruptures, as there's a deep temptation to start curling the bar when you're going all out..
However mixed grip is extremely common and if its move specific you could mix it so that you're supinating with the arm thats used for the undercut - I personally think that would have a good crossover effect to the kind of tension you need on a stretched undercut... Still need self discipline not to bend at the supinated elbow; cf in the vid below for the deadlifters it's always the supinated side that blows..



Wish I hadn't watched that vid now - need to get it out of my head before next Thursday!

Of course I wouldn't worry too much about blowing tendons, as most of these tears are likely related to these guys being allegedly jacked up to the fuckin eyeballs  :blink:

Looking to include deadlifts in my training in the near future. However, I don't really want to injure myself with poor form, does anyone know of a pt/individual who can assist with mastering good form to begin with?

thanks

Hi Yetix, saw your post on the other thread about board climbing in manchester. I'm manchester based and have been using the rockover gym for general weightlifting, deadlifting etc. for the last couple of years.

They have an Olympic bar and a good set up for learning to deadlift, happy to meet up and share what I've learnt.

170kg ! Solely due to wearing a Napalm Death vest.

Incidentally I did my hardest onsight at Ratho the day before, despite it being cold and generally having a sluggish bloaty week due to stomach issues.

170kg !

nice one

I too have been lifting 170kg, but this is far less impressive due to my body mass

I recently failed at 2xBM, but didn't injure myself - not sure where the enthusiasm came from that day, but it can stay in the box until I've done more practice

(also managed a 36kg standing shoulder press - yeah, I know right)

Video?

Dude, it wasn't pretty. My form was shocking, and everything about my expression said "maximum SHART". If I try it again (may not happen), I will try to get a video....

Wish I'd got a video of the purple 7b at Ratho tho. That was pretty exciting.

P.s. Nice one lagers :)

Less sharting, different death metal vest, but still bad form. I do focus on good form on lower weights but just push hard on 1RMs. And I only go for it if my body definitely feels good (first 170 was just due to that - session a few days after I stopped at 150 as it felt bad).
