Deadlift mechanics

This past Saturday, we met and looked at some cues and fixes for squat and deadlift mechanics, and then broke in the new Pendlay bar and Olympic lifting plates at Rocky Top on deadlifts, working our way up from 40kg all the way up to 160kg! Cooling down included some tomfoolery on the rings and parallel bars. Great efforts from everyone!


Drive


Lock out


Don't forget to yell

hey where is the picture of the cat it is fat
6:43 Fran today w/ 85lbs
strength endurance at heavier thrusters still the hard part
also it being the 6th day of a soon to be 7 straight was probably a factor

W/ 115lbs on the bar...tried a couple of reps with 135, but immediately realized that I need much better technique if I'm gonna do it that heavy. Very sucky sucky workout.
