Another thing...note how high his hips are while deadlifting. "Long arms, high hips, strong deadlifts."
It seems like everyone with this build who's deadlifted for a while can blast off the floor but then slows at lockout. (Noticed this with Brent's videos and Frank and I both have this problem). So here's my question, what do people with this build do to solve this?
-- That was one huge pull. -- @Shanker: 99.9% of lifters who have very good deadlifts are explosive off the floor. And slowing down will always happen (with near-maximal weights); otherwise, you will be able to power clean 500#. So your problem is actually everyone's problem (though other people may have additional problems that are masking this one).
The first squat looked good to me...

-Re the deadlift comment, important to differentiate between how low he sinks and where he ACTUALLY starts the lift. A la Ed Coan.

How tall is this guy? Could be the video quality, but he looks like he's my build. 6'?
ReplyDeleteThis video gives me hope that I too can one day lift heavy weights.
@Shanker: Get stronger?
ReplyDelete@Brian: I think he's 5'10" or so, so you may have to gain a few pounds anyway :).
His training log is basically "LIFT HEAVY THINGS AND LIFT THEM OFTEN." I feel like a poser for being on 5/3/1 now.
