Nice set man. Got some good looking traps too.
Dam that's strong! 550 is my current 1rm. I failed 485 5x3 2 days ago got 4 sets of 3 the last set the first rep came up slow the second I didn't feel right so I stopped. I wasn't focused I will get back and crush it next heavy day !

That's one good set right there man.
Now for the challenge I don't think you're gonna get many takers. 550 is a lot of weight. We gotta do challenges based on bodyweight and shit. Like double your weight for reps or something. But I'll take u up on this challenge Tuesday when I pull again.
Again strong set man.
Height, Arm,Leg, Torso length are going to effect leverages just as much as weight tho right?
Range of motion.
I get the basis for the argument going off on ones body weight...
But damn man moving 500 pounds regardless of any of that shit gets nothing but applauds from me.
I love seeing videos like this. It is motivation to work fuxkin harder.
Salty can I ask why u use a mixed grip with straps ? Isn't that the reason why we use straps so we don't have to use an over under grip and risk taring a bicep? Just curios.
Straps and bouncing. You must be a bodybuilder
Wait for it....
Nice work. I tried 225 yesterday and couldn't get it off the floor.
Forgor my chalk. The only reason or I wouldn't of used straps. We do have a guy here who has torn both his biceps deadlifting. Right when one heald the other torn. He uses straps all the time now.
I use them when I forget my chalk.
Im no power lifter though so I don't know the rules of mix gripping with straps. Should I of over hand gripped it with straps ?
No nothing against straps. I use them up until a few months out from my meet. I'm asking why u use a over under grip with straps? U can still tare your bicep on the arm your using an underhand grip with. One of the reasons we use straps is so u can use a double overhand limiting the risk of taring a bicep.
Post a video of u lifting 550lbs better. And yes I am a bodybuilder all day baby
So the lines are drawn
Again
I'd like to make a comment about the straps. Normally I'd be the first guy to call you out on using them. But I just started lifting in a gym with shitty bars and absolutely no knurling so I've had to use them myself lately.
As do the touch and go. The reps are earlier for sure. Stopping and resetting after each rep makes it way harder IMO.

Resetting each rep is a little harder. Touch n go allows u to stay tight the entire time which makes it a little easier.
I like what ed coan said about deadlift. He says to slowly come down each rep and let the weight dissipate into the floor but still keep tension on the bar and then do another rep. More time spent in that position will make u stronger at that lift. I used to be able to do that when I pulled conventional but with sumo it destroys my hips lowering the weight down slowly.
