Critique My Deadlift Form Please

The fact you used Ruppletoad as an authority figure makes me even more sad.

Interesting....social experiment everyone. Go to someone thats an intermediate lifter and ask them if they've heard of Mark Rippetoe....

Then ask them if they've heard of Jim Russel.....

Now popularity isn't everything, Mike Chang is probably more well known then Rip, but It seems almost everyone has a level of respect for the man.

Your getting desperate pointing out grammar errors and putting down people that are well known and respected. I don't need to argue with you anymore. Anyone that reads this thread will understand the point I've made.

Use whatever gear you want. Just get in the gym, put in the work and most of all (and for the last time Jim...) ENJOY the process.

I went over/under for a lot of time, but the bar would always drift away from my shins on the supinated hand. That threw the lift off and my back wasn't liking the twisting much. Now I strap, the bar travels glued to my shins and everything is better. I wasn't developing imbalances (but people do, Alan Thrall is a good example), but it wasn't working. Now I lift heavier and feel better.

I know mix grip isn't a problem for the majority of people. But there's really no point in it (you do it just so the bar doesn't roll, the same is true for straps), it isn't mandatory, and not doing it can be helpful to same.

Got ya. I wasn't sure if you just went straight to straps without even trying over/under.

There's nothing to be gained by arguing and trying to prove someone wrong on the internet. If you like deadlifting in weightlifting shoes, then do it. If you want to use straps, then go ahead.

I agree, my only concern is some kid will read what this asshole is saying and think they have to do it that way. Hate it and give up. A kid like me years ago.

Then we just get another one of these threads in three years, instead of OP'e deadlift remaining far from optimal.

You realize this all started because of your inability to take constructive criticism, right?

Like I said before, it's pretty easy to see in your post history. You don't like it when people try to tell you you're wrong. You get worked up pretty easily/often.

No, and "we" never will. "I" will, over time. IMO (and everyone elses it seems) I don't have much to fix...

I only do each compound once a week. So next week, I'll video tape when I pull, make adjustments and continue.

Now, why don't you make an account on a forum more dedicated to competitive powerlifting....and go post there? Instead of posting on a MMA sub forum to make yourself seem more credible because you lift more weight then everyone who is putting in 6-10+ hours on the mat everyweek. Ok Pumpkin?

Go read the first few posts. I said thank you to everyone that said something. I simply stated I liked using my shoes, they made me feel stronger and I had done research on it. You were the one that started getting pouty stating "You seem set in your ways for someone that is admittedly weak." because I choose not to follow one piece of advice, that no one except me could know if it was good advice or not (you don't know what it feels to lift barefoot and with shoes on my body).

Well, you can see it in the video.

Videos show you a lot.

The above quoted is just utter bullshit.

Its about strength and conditioning in REGARDS to MMA (or combat sports). Not powerlifting. So since you don't participate in them....why are you here?
 
Lets just stop and look at the facts. You don't know how I feel when deadlifting (nor will you ever...except to believe what I tell you)

So if I've done both...and I prefer one, I feel stronger in one How can you say otherwise?
Maybe you could say my form is worse with the shoes....if you saw me deadlift without shoes...which you havn't....so how do you know?
 
I'm good Jim, I've proven my point. I may be 40lbs overweight with a 275 DL, but your the weak & sad person in this debate. Good luck with your "I know whats best for everyone else" attitude.

Weird, it hasn't been about S&C with regard to MMA since I started posting here in 2008.

Yes, at this point I think we all do. The answer is, very defensive and self-conscious, with a definite tinge of self-loathing and body image issues.
