hey guys! i am soooooo happy about this today because i went in there knowing i was gonna try for a big number but i had made a side bet / joke with a friend of mine about hitting a 420 kilo / 925 lb deadlift. the most i have ever done before was in the gym in phoenix and that was 905 without a suit which just beat out the lift from norways strongest man 2008 where i hit 903 lbs. after taking some time off this year and trying to get my head on straight after the second year in a row for having surgery, i knew it was time to start stepping it up as you can probably tell from watching my recent videos, although i think this will be my last max attempt for quite a while, ill try to let the body heal and do some rep/ conditioning work. the rep scheme went like this after doing 12 sets of muscle snatches: 1. 335 lbs x 3 2. 425 lbs x 3 3. 515 lbs x 2 4. 605 lbs x 2 5. 695 lbs x 1 6. 785 lbs x 1 7. 875 lbs x 1 8. 925 lbs / 420 kilo x miss 9. 925 lbs / 420 kilo x 1 PR!!!!!!!!! after hitting the 875 fairly easily and with no hitch, i knew it was time to try and set a PR, forget a comeback pr of 410 kilo, i wanted a real PR!!!! as i was getting set to try 420 for the first time the radio switched over to about 7 commercials in a row and i started to go ballistic.... which i shouldnt have done because its a waste of energy and i just look like a big baby. the second mistake i made on the first 420 attempt, is i stayed down on the bar wayyyyyyyy too long. it took about 10 seconds to ...

Weight Lifting Straps - Best Ways To Use Them
What are weightlifting straps used for?
Use weight lifting straps to maintain going when your progress starts to stall; they strengthen your grip for the duration of pulling movements like deadlifts, pull-ups, and rows. You'll be in a position to add reps or weight to your routines, or lift a lot more frequently. Attempt them sometime; the big difference is like night and day.
Making use of them increases your successful strength. Until you are injured, your grip is almost certainly the weak website link in the course of compound pulling movements. When you take your grip out of the equation, the progress you make seems to go on and on devoid of stalling.
Grip strength takes an enormous hit throughout major deadlifts. With the exception of the lower back, the forearms take the longest out of any of the muscle groups to recover from a max-power workout. Grip fatigue limits your other pulling actions, even after a number of days' relaxation. This is doubly true for older lifters who will need additional recovery time among routines.
Unless of course you use weight lifting straps, you don't recognize how critical your grip energy is. A strong, reliable grip nets you much more reps throughout your pull-up units and lets you add significantly far more weight to the deadlift bar. Until you're injured, your grip is the weak link in your pulling actions.
In short, you get 3 rewards from weightlifting straps:
-- Much more frequent workouts thanks to the grip assistance.
-- Heavier weight in the course of deadlifts, rows, and weighted pull-ups.
-- More reps for the duration of units of un-weighted pull-ups.
The downside of using weightlifting straps
Clearly, if you never train your grip, it will stay weak. Don't use weightlifting straps every time you work out. They can assist you attain your goals if you use them strategically, but don't use them as a crutch or they'll hamper your progress.
Weightlifting straps really should only be utilized for specific issues:
--Recovery from damage. When your hands, fingers, or wrists are injured, weight lifting straps mean the difference among working out and vegetating on the couch.
-- Absolute max effort lifts. Your grip will by no means manage as considerably weight as your back and legs. Without having weight lifting straps, you have to use an alternate grip and threat pulling one thing out of whack, or a hook grip and danger wrecking your thumbs.
-- High-rep units of pull-ups. Lifting straps get you an additional rep or two. You'd be shocked.
-- Holding a large dumbbell for the duration of calf-raises.
-- Heavy shrugs. Your traps can handle a lot a lot more weight than your grip. To develop your traps without affecting the rest of your pulling workout, use straps.
Weightlifting straps: assessment of diverse varieties and brands
No weight lifting strap evaluate can be complete devoid of mentioning the basic, time-tested model. It is absolutely nothing much more than a flat length of large cotton, approximately a foot in size, with a loop in 1 finish. For most purposes, this inexpensive style is perfectly fine.
You can locate padded lifting straps which put a layer of neoprene foam involving the cloth and your skin. If comfort is your factor, go for it; the extra price is negligible. Valeo padded lifting straps are heavily-advertised and properly-regarded amongst trainees, but the truth is that this kind of a easy item varies really little involving producers. Schiek straps seem almost identical in design.
Leather weight lifting straps look very good, but the additional expense is hard to justify. There is no benefit to having leather-based instead of cotton lifting straps.
Some makers offer you fancy padded wristbands or gloves with straps or hooks developed in. These may well be useful if you are suffering a chronic harm, but I have by no means noticed a weight lifter use them regularly. Consider to steer clear of wrist and hand injury and you ought to have no use for physical exercise hooks, power hooks, or any other new variation on a proven theme.

Why You Should Stop Using Workout Straps Immediately!
I came across workout straps in the late 80's and started using them to assist my grip with the ever-increasing weight I was then lifting. Having been involved in weight lifting for the last 25 years, I have seen all kinds of weight lifting accessories come and go. I had great success, putting on pounds and pounds of muscle and lifting the weight the big guys were pumping out.
Around the mid 90's I hit a growth plateau and hired a trainer, a certified professional bodybuilder, to assess my workouts and help me grow. The first suggestion I received from him was "get rid of the workout straps". The look on my face prompted further explanation from him. I was told that using workout straps was not a good idea for two reasons. His theory was that if I was lifting an amount of weight that I couldn't grasp without assistance I was putting my muscles and joints in danger. "Never lift more weight than you can control," I was told over and over again. The second reason for not using workout straps was that in assisting my grip on the French Curl bar with a piece of equipment I was failing to give my forearms a proper workout. It seems that the muscles in the forearm grow best when the hand is gripping the weight as hard as it can. He pointed out that the reverse curls I was doing for forearms were being rendered ineffective by the use of workout straps since I wasn't being forced to grip the bar with all my might. Both points were well taken.
I quit using the workout straps and as if by magic my shoulder and joint pain subsided. And my forearms got thicker as if on steroids (which they weren't). Not only did my forearms grow to Popeye dimensions but my fingers and hands became thicker and stronger. I finally attained the forearms that every Oliveoil admired and just by stopping my use of workout straps.
I once again became satisfied with my growth and lack of constant joint pain but was faced with a whole new problem. With the workout straps I was using I could grasp a barbell or dumbbell regardless of how sweaty my palms became. With my stronger grasp able to lift heavier weights I developed thick bodybuilder calluses on my palms. The calluses were painful and ugly and gave me something to pick at when I was bored but I really was anxious not to have them. I tried weight lifting gloves, and they solved the slippery bar problem but I found them too constrictive, difficult to get on and off and they were constantly soaked with sweat.
