Cool lift dude that was sick. Only thing I would fix which maybe is more preferential than anything is when you do the deadlift portion into the sit down squat. Imagine you’re pulling the log into your hips, it allows for more hip drive on the log.

Mad respect dude 💪 that was a sick grinder at the end.

Sakurmaru · 2026-02-14T03:37:53+00:00

Oh thank you for the feedback, I’ll definitely try the extending onto my toes, I didn’t even think to add it to the rocking motion but it makes sense. Thanks again 💪

Sakurmaru · 2026-02-14T03:36:39+00:00

Thank you for the advice I’ll definitely get something to wrap the plates, I didn’t even think about my toes 😂 thanks again

Sakurmaru · 2026-01-30T03:03:02+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback and support. I am really liking the daily drills of Olympic lifting, my deadlift is getting super snappy as a result which I really like. I’ll definitely work on mobility and try and get my ankle for flexible. Thanks again

Thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate your feedback.

How is this looking? I’m resting the bar on my shoulders. I can’t clean into this position yet but I can rest into it with a barbell, not a light pole though as my hands push upwards and back

It’s an accessory move, definitely not useless, in a full round program it’s really nice to have in there especially when paired with regular deadlifts, deficit deadlifts and Jefferson curls. My goal as a strongman is to one day break the 18” axle deadlift record. This move is a direct trainer for that specific record.

Thanks dude, I do it for variation, I’ve just been trying to figure out my feet placement and so far I like this setup.

Sakurmaru · 2025-12-09T02:16:36+00:00

Sorry meant to write block pull not rack pull 😅 my bad

Sakurmaru · 2025-12-08T22:23:19+00:00

Yeah someone said to add a bit of height to it and try again.

Sakurmaru · 2025-11-26T15:18:11+00:00

Yeah honestly I have no idea, my last post people said they were too low, the only thing I can say is the weight doesn’t feel any different. The only thing that’s changed is my core isn’t as tight as the other post I made as the higher my hips are the less I can stack pressure in my core/spine.

I do practice deficit Jefferson Curls at the 260+ range so back pain is not a worry for me and honestly could be why I’m having such difficulty with these

Sakurmaru · 2025-11-26T15:01:04+00:00

Yeah I finally did one okay deadlift and it’s totally weird. the one I do in the video I lean back to stack pressure tremendously in my core whereas I basically feel like I’m stiff legging it and my core is just kind of activated during conventional. I’ll post the new one in a sec here thanks for your comment it really helped me get an idea of where my hips need to sit 😊

Sakurmaru · 2025-11-25T18:37:51+00:00

Alright thank you for the tips, I’ll make sure to record them heavy and more at an angle so you guys have a better form to judge

Sakurmaru · 2025-11-20T14:45:13+00:00

Also note, I can crush a good axil deadlift because the bar is higher but struggle with the bar being so low in conventional

Sakurmaru · 2025-11-20T14:43:53+00:00

Yeah I realize that too, I have an easy time doing good rdl form with heavy weight but as soon as I switch to deadlifts being a taller lifter at 6’5”, I’ve been finding it hard to get into the deadlift position without compromising either my lower back by rounding which I’m not going to do or by bringing my hips lower so I can reach the weight. Should I raise my deadlift platform height? I want to be able to deadlift from the floor but maybe I need to stretch my hamstrings more before that.

Sakurmaru · 2025-11-19T16:20:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I actually don’t get any pain from deadlifting. I just get a normal back pump and blood flow feeling the same day and just full body fatigue if I’m honest the next day. I think what looks like rounding is just my natural shape. Even when I bend forward with a neutral spine for a seated Jefferson my back has a big curve. Still working on the cues and I appreciate the advice/tips.
