Well, its good to hear that I have the basics down.
Now when you lift the bar… how close to your body should it be?
I usually try to get the bar as close to my body as possile, so the blasted thing is pretty much scraping against my shins.[/quote]
That sounds about right. I wear long socks or sweatpants when I deadlift because otherwise, my shins are bleeding when I’m finished.

Every time I watch this video, I feel a nut drop down my leg. Good thing I’ve only watched it once.
And yea, my shins are always bleeding by the end of deadlifts, too

That’s the right way to go about it if pulling heavy is your goal. This should answer all of your questions about PL-style pulls.

Yeah I had posted it a week or two back and I think someone even posted it before that. This video has def. made its way around the net, and by all accounts I’ve read, it’s almost certainly fake…

Yeah, well it’s easy if you don’t go past parallel. So there.
Did he go past parallel?
That lift was a big joke thing that was made quite a while ago, however, if you look at “other videos from this user”…it shows 5reps 150lb snatch, very nice.
Hey, there’s rounding and then there is rounding.
Why assume the entire body is capable of hard work, but that making use of the back is bad in some way?

One arm snatches too… nice…
Doesn’t look like it’s the same person though… or is it?
