I am friends with a good many world-record holders (and some who are close to world-record status) -both in real life an online -and while my form is not perfect, by the time I got to this progress vid, most if not all had good things to say about both my form and my knowledge of powerlifting -- so, if you think I'm wrong, then I'm all ears as to what exactly I'm "wrong about."The serious lifters in here know what they're talking about. If you have any real interest in any of this, then I'd suggesting reading more and stop posting.
Names or I don't believe you.
I'm friends with a good many billionaires who say I have solid business acumen. You should buy into this bridge I have to sell you.

OK, #1 - my friend, April Mathis is on my Facebook friend's list: She is in fact the World's Strongest Woman -- in all areas: She thinks my form is OK, if not perfect. (Can we trust the world's strongest woman)
#2 - Eric Cressey, while not a world-record-holder IS quite close to it, and he caught me yanking or jerking the weight in an older video-not this one (which could snap my arms or tendons), so I corrected this by THIS video.
#3: Nia Shanks is a WRH in the SPF, admittedly, a smaller federation, and her lifts are not as good as some other lifters in other federations, but she (also on my Facebook, but don't harass her, k?) coached me when I got back into lifting, and by now, I think she has given me a positive review, as I recall her most recent email replies.
(ETA: I bought lifting plans from both Eric C and Nia S, and got smarter as a result.)
#4: I did email (or was it a Facebook post) Vince Anello, when after another lifter (I shall keeep him nameless out of respect) said my form was bad but didn't give me specifics -- Vince said I was OK... I made a screen shot of this (and others as well)
#5: My friend, Deb Callahan, who temporarily held a WR in the bench (325 @ 132) is the owner of Deb's Gym here in Lakeland (between Tampa & Orlando), and SHE says my form is alright (I did ask her after the other cat had something negative to say)... You can email her if you don't believe... better yet, I might find a screen shot of her reply (on her Facebook)...
I asked a good many MORE professional powerlifters, but as another wise poster has said: Sometimes it's not worth the argument... OK, by the time you see this post, all these lifters' replies should be in this folder:
http://GordonWayneWatts/powerlifters-feedback
you can see for yourself & make your own decisions, but don't harass my friend here -if u wanna ask them if they really wrote or said what I claim, that's alright, but don't harass them.
PS: This was about an OLD vid -- I've gotten better on my form since. :bigsmile:
ETA: There were more lifters (note the numbering system used), but I got kind of tired and merely listed just these for summary.0 -
5'4" female, 133 lbs. Last month I was lifting 135 3 sets of 5. Since then, my hip bursitis has flared up and now I can barely get 135 off the ground for 1 rep. :sad: I'm going to keep on building and eventually 135 will be my down weight and something else will be my hips are feeling good weight lol. My orthopedist has said it's absolutely fine for me to deadlift but that I have to be aware that it might cause inflammation and pain in my bursae lol0

It is: some (even if not all) the lifts are legal PL lifts -- the rack pull is both a good 'assistance' lift and a good 'test of strength' in its own right -- like the Yoke Carry (where you can adjust the height of the Yoke), the rack pull is adjusted so the ROM (range of motion) is equal for all lifters --why's that any less important than, say, a 'regular' lift?You claimed your 635 lb lift was a powerlifting progress video. It's not. Period.0 -

There were so many of my friends in that category, that I was rather slow documenting and uploading their comments & feedback, but by the time you see my reply here, my citing of sources should be in a post above:Also still waiting on the world record holders.
Seeing as they agree with me on most (if not all) points -even back when they were commenting on my 320/585 vid (an older vid with worse form), it should be obvious that my 635/710 vid (the one under discussion) is much better -and now that puts me in their league: If you disagree with me, then you disagree with all of us, many pros included -- oh, really?0 -
0 lbs, back injury, who da maccck n0www0

Male, 43 years old, weigh about 170. When I deadlift, I usually do 2 sets of 3 to 5 reps of between 250 to 300 lbs. Eventually I would like to work up to a double bodyweight deadlift.0

Not a whole lot just yet as I just started weight training with free weights
Female, 32, 174 and right now I am at only 25 pounds for 12 reps.0 -
I thought we were going to get back to time travel...
It's never too late get back to that discussion.
If you know what I mean.0 -

OK, your point is well-taken -- and correct.GordonWW-
DUDE, wtf man. You are still going on about how f'n great you are????? NOBODY cares man......you put your stats up, now move the heck on and put down the dam keyboard already ........You're a douche nozzle, you have proven it beyond all measurable comprehension ....okay, Happy .....
And let this thread continue on in peace, PLEASE ..........
It is AWESOME to see how many women are lifting these days..... High Five Ladies !!!!
While I enjoy defending myself, too much of a "good thing" is NOT GOOD. (Not for me or anybody else: #OnlineTimeVampire)
If it's alright with all other posters, do you all think perhaps we all could take drefaw's advice? (For those of you that really want to weigh in, please read the whole thread: probably your questions will be answered there -God knows, I and many others weighed in, more so than the Supreme Court, for God's sake!
OK, you happy now? :glasses:
ETA (Edited to Add) You're also right on point 2: It's good that woman are becoming less apt to avoid lifting weights & getting healthy - heck, it's good for ALL people (men, women, and children -even pets) to have a healthy exercise and diet regimen and have healthy lifestyles (avoid smoking, drinking, and, yes, stress: see comment above)0 -
Female - 67 years old - 5'7" - 170lbs
Did my first deadlift last night 90lbs x 4 ... could have done more but I didn't want the young men working out beside me to feel bad!
Looking into powerlift competing next year. Inspired by whiskeysister5100 -

It's not about more or less important. It's not a progress video. You can use it as lockout assistance if you want, but it's not indicative of your deadlift progress.
Your lift doesn't put you in their league.Seeing as they agree with me on most (if not all) points -even back when they were commenting on my 320/585 vid (an older vid with worse form), it should be obvious that my 635/710 vid (the one under discussion) is much better -and now that puts me in their league: If you disagree with me, then you disagree with all of us, many pros included -- oh, really?0 -

One of my friends, who is a world record holder in powerlifting, needed THREE tries to beat me arm-wrestling, and I was waaaay out of my weight class to boot; I may have finally lost, but (not that it matters about the arguments about my lifting), I didn;'t make victory easy for the opposing party...
Besides, on the matter of intelligence (also important), it *does* put me in their league -at least on the narrow point of whether or not I was using good form -since, after all, they ALL (almost all anyhow) agreed with my on the point in question: good form or not?
Lastly, 710-lbs is a lot for ANYbody -even if it is only over a few inches on range-of-motion, but hey, didn't we hear from The Voice of Wisdom who replied to me earlier, calling for us to knock it off? Can we focus on lifting, exercise, diet, and health *more* and petty minutiae *less*??0 -

If you really wanted to you would've dropped it after you saw the post, I hadn't seen it when you were writing it up.
Arm wrestling ALSO has nothing to do with powerlifting, and 710 may be a big number, but it still doesn't mean anything for deadlifting.0 -
I really want to -- perhaps, next time, however, I will try a little harder to resist the urge to reply... (I am not strong in all areas; LOL) - do help me, tho, peeps: While we may not agree on all things, I do think we've all had a good chance to have our views hears, and this poster's suggestion (to drop it) is probably a common sense idea.If you really wanted to you would've dropped it after you saw the post, I hadn't seen it when you were writing it up.

Too much arguing online is good for nobody: we've heard each others' views, and you all had my full attention, so don't think I'm dissing off on you just because I disagree on SOME things (key word: some: I agree on the greater part)

I've got some questions for you. Are you male/female? Height/Weight? How much can you deadlift? I am currently f/5'6/200lbs and I'm deadlifting 90lbs. I want to lift heavier but how much heavier?
Female
5'5/162 lbs
My max for deadlift was 2 reps at 225lbs0 -
After time travel I would like to discuss cycles in the stock market and how the phase of the moon might affect trading.0
