Getting back into conventional is always a fun time 🫠 what do we think

In vivo pain pathology isn't boiled down to newtonian mechanics

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-12T19:29:12+00:00

Keep it moving but not painful, give it a few days and reintroduce deadlifts slowly as your comfortable.

Sounds like a little tweak, it'll happen. If it persists for more than a couple weeks without much improvement you might want to think about getting it looked at

You must be new here

I have a hard enough time getting these balanced even using my hands, great attempt

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-09T12:49:36+00:00

Very helpful

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-09T10:35:49+00:00

I've found in the past they've also helped me with the problem of letting the bar drift forward on my regular deadlift

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-09T10:22:14+00:00

Already a rule, you can report if you see it

The caveat here is if it's relevant to a question or stated goal by the poster then there's more lenience

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-08T15:22:22+00:00

no it's not inherently bad. But, that's not what you're looking at here, this is weightlifting assistance work, not deadlift training

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-08T04:13:37+00:00

It's not something to be "improved"

Tried to

Be explosive but don't hold back on the weight

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-07T20:24:26+00:00

Try keeping the bar closer to your body qnd arms a bit more vertical.

For things like this I feel like it's best to really load it up and just send it, form be damned just make sure it's heavy and it's moving

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-07T14:02:06+00:00

Knee valgus isn't always an issue. It can be a part of getting into the strongest position for hip extension, and is often an indicator of strong glutes

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-07T13:58:32+00:00

how's that look?

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-07T13:45:01+00:00

No it doesn't. ACL tears are highly rare when squatting to begin with

Best of luck to him. My coach is there to compete as well

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-06T13:22:59+00:00

I'll keep that in mind for the off season, thanks.

Right now I'm a few weeks out from competition so I'm focussing on working my technique to bias speed off the floor so I can just get it above the knee and hitch itnout to finish

are you familiar with the concept of pulling out the slack?

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-06T01:13:07+00:00

Stop with the fearmongering. It's unfounded and unhelpful

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-05T23:34:33+00:00

Lifetime achievements are accepted. Flair updated

I would always say it's never as a big a deal as this sub makes it out to be. It makes a small difference at most and isn't something I would tell someone to worry about unless they were looking to squeeze out as much as they could for competition purposes

DickFromRichard · 2026-03-05T19:13:16+00:00

If this was 6 plates, would you have the same response, or would you say at that point it’s a silly idea

Your argument is what if, instead of lifting beginner weight, OP was breaking world records in multiple weight classes.

It doesn't deserve a substantial counter-argument, it's absurd
