Thanks Martin,

the first was surprisingly easy.

the 390 vid was hard getting out of the hole, it felt like go fast as hell or fail down there so I went as fast as I could.

Thanks Vince, much appreciated. I push with my toes when I'm in the bottom of the squat. really all the power comes from the calves.

DL form look okay to you?

You are starting with your hips really high. Try squatting down right before you start the pull and use the stretch reflex to help you get off the ground.

well Im no expert but your back seems quite flat you might want to get your hips down abit more and try and stay more upright so you can use your quad strength abit more. it seems almost like a stiff leg deadlift the way youre doing it.

okay, thanks guys, I really do appreciate constructive criticism. I *thought* I was putting my hips down further. but obviously the vid shows a different story. I'll blame it on the squats and shoot another vid next time I DL.

Chase, are saying a little bounce motion is okay? or should I be keeping my ass right down as if i was sitting for a second before 'take off'

That's the same way I started deadlifting. Hips real high kinda like a straight leg deadlift. Someone posted this in my log and it helped me understand the movement alot: http://www.crossfit.com/journal/libr...ofDeadlift.pdf

thanks white lightning, good article.

So I've got high blood preasure. rather than going to the doctor right away, I'm just going to loose some weight. I'm re evaluating my diet and re - introducing LSD conditioning into my program. I want to get down to 190lbs asap and keep it there for a week. I'll make sure my blood pressure goes down to a reasonable level. Then I'll go back to the goal of having the big 3 of 1000lbs. Then go back to getting my weight down further.
