Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 4251050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I may not even get to go, I've got a squad session the day before so it depends if I can get out of that or not. there's always the british unequipped champs as well if everything goes to plan at the north wests? | ||

If you get another 30kg in a couple of months that'll be amazing and I will be really jealous of your progress! It's definitely possible though from what I've seen happen to my deadlifts... I'll be pulling 350 by then! | ||

I really am looking forward to this, it'll be a shame if I have to miss it. I have a couple of beginner friends who want to do it as well, so there could be quite a few of us in the 82.5's! | ||

I bet I'd get 340 up to my knees equipped, but until I strengthen my lockout I'm not going to get what i csn out of the suit. FWIW, your pulls look pretty similar to mine, I bet if you fail it's not because you couldnt move it off the floor. | ||

My lockouts will always be slow, but if I get stronger they can be slow with an extra 50kg on the bar. The problem with being a skinny guy deadlifting, is you're just not going to be throwing around 700 lbs at the top half of the lift like the bigger guys. It's all well and good practicing getting into a perfect position off the floor to help your lockout with lighter weights, but when you get over 300kg you're probably going to find yourself on the losing end of a fight with the bar when it comes to maintaining perfect form. So you end up pulling the way youve always been strongest, but your training won't help you because you'll have been practicing in a different position than you find yourself in once it gets heavy. | ||

blessed with mong strength Member 474, 866 posts SQ 222.5, BP 165, DL 260647.5 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | you said earlyer in your log that straight leg deads have helped you alot im thinking of trying them every other week . i see what your saying its all wel and good training to get perfect form and you probably could do it . but once u get a weight on that bar u have never done before then form kinda goes out the window and you resort to any means to get bar locked out lol | ||
