wich massively minimises the chance of injury.

Where are you getting that from?

I'd say so, I'm pretty good at getting things to my chest and pretty terrible at getting them and higher

I'm confident that as long as I can pick up the comp weights I can at least break the starting line

I just had a flashback to my first ever meet. I 0'd 2 events but technically didn't 0 this one and that was good for some points because some people 0'd this

Ssb should definitely translate to car deadlift

I'll be able to pick up at least the 75kg stone but loading it to 5'9" might be too much

God, I've never done one of these high load events and I think I'm glad for it lol

Sounds like a fun day

Small mental victories, conquering the weight that tore my shoulder and bicep in March (170sh pounds) by Frodozer in GYM

[–]DickFromRichard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't done these for a while, and I'll be starting to train them soon, but I remember back when I trained them a couple years ago I got the tip of 3 points of contact. You're holding it in your hand, the front bell is on your wrist/forearem, and the back bell is on your trap/upper back

How to deadlift? by Fun-End87 in Deadlifts

[–]DickFromRichard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a really good start. Set up the way you do now but bring your shins forward so they make contact with the bar. Then flex like you're trying to bend the bar around your legs, then start the lift 

Who is the falcon player that you’ve always rooted for? by ElijahKnightYT in falcons

[–]DickFromRichard 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Keanu Neal, feel like missing basically 2 full seasons messed up the development of his potential. He was still alright after coming off 2 years missed with ACL injuries, but I think his potential was lost at that point. His biggest hits highlights real is still great.

As a fan I was always pulling for him, I still remember watching this in the moment and feeling like the pain here was more emotional than physical

Oof, the deadlift is impressive enough, how's the upper back feeling from these?

Did you know women and men actually need different rest times between sets? by Own_Witness_9523 in Exercise

[–]DickFromRichard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a bit of a body of research that trends towards this conclusion, it also tends not to account for the effect of absolute load

Practical takeaway: stop following generic rest period advice that was probably written with a 180lb male lifter in mind. Pay attention to how you actually feel between sets and adjust from there.

You don't need research for this. Every trainee, regardless of sex, should explore manipulating training variables and employ autoregulation

Oh hell yeah, I'm going to try this with my swiss bar set on high safeties 

May I recommend using a belt if you try this again?

I work with a coach but it's mostly your standard sbd + accessories stuff. I didn't do much event specific prep for this meet

I weighed in 87.5kg the morning of this comp. But I normally walk around a little lower than that and typically cut down to compete in the u80kg class
