    le sigh... I only did 185 pause DL's yesterday- my first bro split and I did back/shoulders and included deads.

    because deads are back work too.

    and I needed to DL.

    But they were light- and I was sad. (stupid hoity toity gym- no chalk and I think I would have been tossed out had I had 225 on there)

    I use this stuff at public gyms:

    Amazon has it for $12:

    Works well and never had anyone say anything.

    If they look at it sideways, look them in the eye and tell them you use it as lube.

    Then don't blink.

    my regular gym has real bowl of regular chalk we keep out- so I don't really need it. I was only visiting this gym over the holiday weekend while I was with my BF- I"m not a two gym member (if retro was cheaper I would be- it's close and I need something to do while he's at work)

    usually it's a none issue- but thanks for the link- I might have to invest- doing pull ups anywhere they don't have a real actual bar- or it's always slick- this might be useful to keep on hand! for 12 bucks kind of makes sense to keep it on hand- occasionally we run out at my gym- as long is it doesn't spill all over- I'm cool to keep it in there.
    If they look at it sideways, look them in the eye and tell them you use it as lube on *kitten* who like to bother me while I'm lifting.

    Then don't blink.

    I was also struck by one of the comments on the Yahoo article. The comment was that only 1% of the people in the world can deadlift 400 pounds. I would think the number is higher than 1% but maybe I'm wrong.

    BTW, I use straps. Deadlifts rip the heck out of my hands.

    Higher than 1% in the gym maybe. I doubte 1 % of the world even goes to the gym let alone deadlifts.

    The only real deadlifts are tippy-toe deadlifts where your heels are all the way off the ground when you're locked out. Only wussie cheating weak lazy posers who don't care about their calves do those flat-footed deadlifts. The only valid goals in the world are my goals.

    He's absolutely natty. The guy doesn't have a six pack. You know a guy is using roids when he is massive AND he is shredded (i.e. body builders). That's a great accomplishment for any age and it is very attainable for people who don't use steroids.

    Bogus...First off a six pack is obtained with a diet first, not roids.

    Secondly, I'm near his age at 45, 6'3" /215lbs deal with a joint disease that also attacks my tendons and causes my massive swelling making it difficult to hold/pull/push heavy weight. I am considered massive by the people who see me in real life and I never have used roids and can dead that weight. Its very attainable to people who don't use roids with correct form and a progressive lifting program.

    I do this too. Lately I've been working a power clean in also - just to the chest. I am thinking of incorporating a full OHP and stand into it, but not sure my balance will handle it when I am up on my tippy-toes. Hard enough getting the bar to the chest on tippy-toes.

    That's a start, but you forgot to put everyone else down based on a totally arbitrary standard.

    a clean to the chest? or are you talking about high pulls?

    My bad. I can't believe you poseurs think you're actually accomplishing anything without the clean on tippy-toes.

    Better?

    No fraking idea. Just imagine me doing some badass chit that no one else does because they are not awesome like me.
