Damn you Hopper I'm slightly obsessed with deadlifting and I still don't think I've narrowed in on my 'best' setup. I must've watched anuj's video 12 times last night

I think I've got my knees over the bar too much, not sticking my ass back enough. And I'm undecided with IW's "retract your scapula" suggestion, I think shoulder's back (not retracting the scapula hard) would be better?

^^^ I suppose the scapulae don't have to be pinched "hard", but it's difficult to get get your shoulders back without having the scapulae retract.

Yup, there is (see squat video)..

Good thinking..

I can't wait to see your new videos in a week or two. All of the major problems I saw have been addressed. You might want to write down the list of things that were mentioned and bring it to the gym with you. Practice with just the bar...or you can practice it at home. You definitely won't be able to remember everything while you're lifting. You have a solid base & with the new improvements in technique and with you going up in weight on your squats, you should see some immediate gains.

Diet looked good yesterday. Remember, no one is a saint. You know the difference between eating perfect, eating well, and cheating like crazy. You'll get where you want to be by eating well. And you might maintain your sanity that way.

Yikes.. Only ate 2000 calories yesterday.. :(

Mind you, it was an off-day, but I went cross-country skiing..

You knew what I meant

^^ I did.

You're right. I was looking at your diet from the 27th. tsk tsk

Hmm could be why you manage to hack squat more than you pull maybe? Not sure, I would def look into it tho. I am probs the last person who should critique peoples pulls tho.My best setup seems to be a cross between Sumo and conventional!!

Haha I know what you mean, I am that way with squatting, I literally spend all day thinking about how to get better and tweak things!! Glad I'm not the only one.

That's exactly what I was thinking, looking at my hacks and deads.

I've been itching to deadlift since tuesday, ironically enough thats the day after my deadlift workout lol. Next dead workout I'm going to really work on my form. I might not be engaging my glutes enough either. But I don't want to get into analysis paralysis lol I'm bad enough as is.
