If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Though I'm kind of curious how rounded is "rounded" to boz. I have people come up to me between my heavy sets and tell me that I'm rounding my back, going to hurt my back etc. Never had an injury from deadlifting yet (it's actually fixed injuries for me) and almost everyone who says this stuff to me isn't lifting anything noteworthy with their deadlifts...methinks they play it a bit safe sometimes and are afraid to push their limits to get stronger.

If you are lifting at your true maximum weight for the exercise, your back will never stay straight during the lift...it's just the way the back lifts at maximum exertion. But as said before, there's a difference between rounding for max weight and rounding because you have terrible technique from the get go.

It depends on what part of your back is rounding. Nearly everyone will round through the middle/upper back, which is fine (just makes it hard to lock out). Rounding in the lower back can cause problems but I've seen people pull heavy weights that way and never hurt themselves. I wouldn't teach it that way though.

That's it, look at some of the strongest deadlifters in the world and many of them round, whilst others stay fairly straight. What works for one may not work for someone else; all about how you've trained your back to lift I say. Million ways to deadlift!

That's fair enough then. I wouldn't want my back arched too much for lower weight volume stuff...some serious strength and form issues if you can't stay rigid on the light weights.

many of the PTC deadlift videos I've seen have upper back rounding to some degree - the peanut gallery on YouTube is always quick to point this out too :D

Yeah there's one of Martin lifting 250kg for 6 reps or something ridiculous like that...63% likes because he rounds his back in it. I'm sure all the dislikers could show him how to lift more...

From the very limited understanding i have. From what i can tell, Controlled rounding (actually contraction) upper thorasic spine is fine, actually good lever if significant strength is there.lower back stability is required. Zero movement . Lower back movement takes away hip drive and puts it under stress likely to farquar the posterior chain somewhere. If the weight is heavy enough. Including sciatic or piriformis in addition to spine hurt risk.

Hence my response to Tolga regarding my 180kg lift on Christmas lol. Felt perfectly fine to me, that's all I care.

I dont think your lift on christmas and rounding of back go together.

I personally would put it in the category that Boz is talking about, 1rm, pb or not.

but, like you said, you're happy, so thats all that matters...

has anyone had a car that was running really really well.. like the best it's ever run... right up to the point where it f**ks up..

and the conversations always go along the lines of... "yeah man.. it was running the best it ever did and then this happened"

Just saying...

If you are doing it in a dangerous way, it's only a matter of time.

Just because KK deadlifts with a rounded back, doesn't mean that you can too.

Troy you should go back and watch your vid.

you basically straightened your legs out before the weight started leaving the floor, then you did a stiff legged deadlift in sumo stance to bring it up.

Just my opinion man.

You know your body better and can decide for yourself.

Not saying I won't ever get a deadlift injury, but as a back rounder I've failed a lift before and not injured myself. Have also held the thing above my knees for 15 seconds (very rarely) and hitch the prick up until lockout. It's not good form, but once you surpass that weight and it becomes light, you end up with decent form. Hopefully the day doesn't come when I'm wrong about my gut feelings.

I really think it has a lot to do with the way you train your back to lift from the get go. If you are used to lifting only rigid, then going heavy with a rounded back thrown in will see you in trouble; not unlike a hyper extension for someone who doesn't have the flexibility to pull off a movement. If, on the other hand, you have always raised the bar (!) by rounding with heavy weights, I think you are in a much better condition to pull off that style of deadlift.

Agreed.

The lifters that have been referenced still complete a 'competition' lift, not something so far removed it shouldn't be carried out.

I think Markos says something along the lines of, 'Leave your ego at the door' when going to PTC.

You're only cheating yourself.

Also find this quote from you quite funny/ironic

Agreed.

All this means imo is that you aren't ready for that weight yet. You've over come a mental barrier because you feel better for 'lifting that weight' 'getting that number' but if you waited a consistent couple of weeks, it would of became an 'easy' clean movement acceptable to the true form. Submaximal training is a powerful thing.

I agree with the second part somewhat

A rounded back that is induced from heavy weight is somewhat a buffer if they are still tight, if you're rounded and then lift with the same amount of breakdown, where does the spine go?

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By Matvei27 · Posted

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!

      Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
