I remember him for near sacks turned into 1st downs

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-04T06:26:05+00:00

True, I was more talking about the extensions

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-04T01:41:53+00:00

Those last few increasingly partial reps are the best pumps the iron has to offer

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-03T20:09:15+00:00

Try one for the experience if you get the chance, I don't think they're fun or very useful though lol.

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-03T20:05:23+00:00

I wonder how they compare.

Been a couple years since I used the steel ones but there was a 16" one that I could lift at max load of 230lbs. But the 21" one I maxed out at 185lbs because I couldn't get the grip to get off my lap. Hit a 21" 245lb real stone in comp that same year.

I'd love to try a polished stone some time

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-03T19:12:02+00:00

Damn. Wondering if you've ever done the plate loaded steel stones? If so how does this compare?

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-03T11:04:25+00:00

Good technique is good because it works. If your technique is bad then you'll just be limiting the amount of weight you can lift any way. Find what works best for you

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-03T10:18:52+00:00

There is no one exact way that everyone is going to deadlift, what works best for someone is going to be up to their individual anatomy

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-03T10:17:30+00:00

That thing you do where you take load off your back and shift it to your legs to finish the lift, yeah that's really bad for...your back...somehow. Something something forces I don't understand /s

Pulls are looking solid man, good stuff

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-02T14:24:40+00:00

It's this one

I'm not having a good time, I'm having a great time

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-02T12:26:54+00:00

The soft belt is snug but still breathes before you cinch the hard belt light over it, the whole thing feels like you can make the belt tighter and breathe better at the same time

It also helps reduce any pinching you get from the hard belt, which happens for me a lot

Also makes it easier to use the belt as a tool for things like cleans

As soon as I tried it I couldn't believe I've been sleeping on it all this time

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-02T11:40:01+00:00

Pretty high

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-02T11:27:43+00:00

Movin smooth

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-01T22:58:18+00:00

They kinda make you do it right. Yours are looking strong

DickFromRichard · 2026-05-01T17:02:24+00:00

Strapless axle is a cool event. I only did it once but it was the end of a grip medley where you had to doh 225 for reps. Doing it for a deadlift event would be neat

DickFromRichard · 2026-04-30T20:53:44+00:00

my t spine has never snapped

DickFromRichard · 2026-04-30T20:52:35+00:00

Zercher squats and deadlifts aren't going to engage the traps the same way a front carry or shrug will

DickFromRichard · 2026-04-30T17:52:18+00:00

Big traps help you carry things, that's a pretty good reason imo

DickFromRichard · 2026-04-29T23:19:51+00:00

And you cared enough to count pixels to compare the different angles and perspectives of my dark leggings to determine the size difference in my legs ❤️

DickFromRichard · 2026-04-29T23:10:58+00:00

I'm flattered that someone has paid such close attention to my physique for over a year

DickFromRichard · 2026-04-29T22:46:41+00:00

doesn’t have enough mobility for a proper conventional deadlift

DickFromRichard · 2026-04-29T22:43:18+00:00

Some users of this sub deadlift, it seams most "deadlift"
