Member 143, 237 posts SQ 340, BP 245, DL 310895.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq | Backlift was an old time classic lift where you literally bent under a platform e.g. a huge board or a boat or some other such large object, positioned yourself so most of your back was in contact with the object and then pressed it off a set of tressles. http://oldtimestrongman.com/strongmen/paulanderson_backlift.ht... http://weightlifting.moonfruit.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi As for my damned deadlift, when I first started lifting at 16 I could pull 227.5kg at 72kg bodyweight, no matter how hard I tried it never moved past that. When I came back to lifting when I was 30 I pulled 285kg at 110 in my first year and 10 years later I was still only at 310 no matter how hard I trained it. Damn I hated that lift. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Bench press to push press, definitely. | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10040 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I like it the way it is. Much as I enjoy them, I think there's a case for replacing the shirtlift with a real bench press, but no more than that . | ||

 fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I'd replace deadlift, because I'm hopeless at it. I'd like to see it replaced with playing tunes on one's teeth with a pencil, which I can do fantastically well. | ||

That would be an anwesome comp. The only problem I have with that is that it is then 2 powerlifts and one Oly lift. Now I suppose if you were to do away with the snatch and combine the 2 sports that would be cool. | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 18473 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | If I could change one lift, I wouldn't bother. It's great just the way it is. Sad to see so many taking the cowards way out and changing their worst lift instead of trying to improve it. Shame on you all. | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | I agree with Fat Pete, most people can't lift enough weight on floor to overhead to call it 'power'lifting - a sport which is supposed to be about loading plates to the bar. | ||
