Member 1419, 2281 posts SQ 175, BP 105, DL 240 520.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 26.03.2014 @ 01:39 AM by tz1127 Just started lifting again a few months ago after a few years of layoff... this is my heaviest deadlift so far in the "comeback" Would you call this hitching? Would it pass in a PL comp?

Member 2216, 2243 posts	Be lucky to get away with that, slight downward movement on the bar when your bouncing around (and to be especially pedantic the bar drops half an inch when you hyper extend your back at the end). On the plus side you had basically finished the pull so all the jiggling around was unnecessary, just needed to drive hips forward to finish.

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 26.03.2014 @ 06:44 AM by Simeon I'd be more concerned with that huge hyperextension at the top than the hitching

I agree with most of your points BUT just 1 little thing - From the IPF rule book - the If the bar settles as the shoulders come back (slightly downward on completion) this should not be reason to disqualify the lift.

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 19158 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300 827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq	That's hitched. It would fail in a comp.

Hill sprints are fun! Member 731, 3253 posts SQ 200, BP 127.5, DL 232.5 560.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Fatpete said:That's hitched. It would fail in a comp. Pete's right. Ever considered working on your technique? How rounded your back gets is giving you good speed off the floor, but leaving your hips in a terrible position to lock out. Hence your hitch.

His levers get the bar up. Member 2919, 8635 posts SQ 195, BP 127.5, DL 225 547.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Fatpete said:That's hitched. It would fail in a comp. Agreed. The knees re bend after straightening.

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	It's a hitch but you seem to have the strength to do it without one.
