Just a quick question for the more experienced folks. The less experienced can of course put in their 2 cents worth.
I was watching a video of Mark Rippetoe teaching the deadlift. Now, since I can't actually pipe up in the middle of an old youtube clip, i thought i'd do something even better. Ask my question here.
When deadlifting, would you be able to maintain a straighter back (and thus not arch your back) by sticking your chest up even more & your arse out ?

Video isnt working for me?
I have no doubt you could lift more wish such a bendy bar. It would kind of become something similar to a rack pull, which is the strongest part of the lift.
I don't lift heavy enough to get our bar bending.One day!
Hey Josh,
Do you have any lifting straps to help grip?
My hands give out long before my legs. I can do heaps more reps too.
Also use em for all back training. Harbinger pro lifting straps with soft neoprene wrist strap and grippy stuff on the bar strap. Find em on ebay usa

Back to Mike's sig about Bodybuilders and Weightlifters then hey Rob?hehe
If you build up grip strength wouldn't this in turn help develop forearm strength and size?
I have a 70kg 17yo hanging onto 250kg rack pulls no dramas. He also uses 200kg for shrugs.
Anyone claims to using wraps because theyre back is stronger is full of crap sorry.
Train your weakness.
