SIR BENCHALOT
Its a Powerlifitng Competition Deadlift, a PCD. Perfectly legal in Powerlifting competitions but not a strict Deadlift.
Hows that. Stick that in the Funk n Wagnalls!
No actually, its still a strict deadlift.
"The deadlift is a weight training exercise in which a loaded barbell is lifted off the ground to the hips, then lowered back to the ground".
