I'm a fan, but this is due to the fact that i'm a short arse with long arms. 18" is almost lockout for me Grin. 230kg from the floor. 270kg 18".

If you can lift more of the floor than you can from 18" then your legs are a lot stronger than your lower back IIRC.

Are you doing them in a rack or off blocks mate? I`m same as you in the rack but off blocks can pull more?? I kind of put it down to the bar bending less before the plates come up on the rack if that makes any senswe.

its a strongman form for the dead max Wink All back -> knees -> rebend & back again Grin Though maybe i am wrong and Nige nails them powerlifting style?

Stick with the 18 inchers mate! Though i guess not much point unless you have a comp with them in eh?

Partial deadlifts have thier place but they are that at the end of the day, all the top deadlifters do use them.

18inches is a big high in my opinion, especially if you are below 6ft.
Was watching a vid of Cleggers do one t'other day, with the flex in the bar it is actually above his knee before the weight breaks.

Personally I think partials if training for lockout power should be done from at least and inch below the kneecap, its a horrible position to pull from but if you can break the weight from there and lock it out if you miss your deadlift line you will have the brute force to correct the lift.

Plus if more of the gays on here did them properly and powerfully they could stop all this hitching bo***cks and actually get stronger as a priority.

In Strongman .. they have 18" Deads .. they have 15" Deads .. they have standard Deads .. they have Axle Deads,Car Deads,...Reps - Singles..

Basically you have to be good from every height and with every implement ..

AND all this bollox about it favours the shorter man ..


f**kING GOOD .. Coz 90% of strongman events favour the taller lanky streak of piss ..

all i seem to hear about is the shorter men complaining that the events favour the taller men. whilst the taller men complain that the events are easy for shorter men. 18 inch deadlift are a good tool to use every now and then i have only done it a few times though.

I agree there, one thing people seem to forget is the basis of physics, as in for example at St Ives we drew on the Silver Dollar, now you had less distance to move the bar, but due to being of similar build but taller I am obviously heavier so have more muscle to move it - it all evens out at the end of the day so who cares, just get stronger.
