Deadlift Analysis and Winnipeg Video
Anyone who has read this page for any time knows that deadlifts have always been a sore spot for me, I’ve never been able to pull what I really think I should. Well this meet in Winnipeg went much better and going over the video I have an idea why.
First here is a picture of my attempted 577.6/262 pull in Calgary back in January:
You can see how pitched forward I am, my head is down, my chest is pointing to the floor and my ass is high. This never looked weird to me until now…
544.5/247 pull in Winnipeg
What a difference, my head and chest are up and my ass is way down there. I’m in much more of a squat stance than the Calgary pull.
566.6/257 pull in Winnipeg
The same thing here, my ass is a little higher but nothing like Calgary, and I stay in that position as I pull it up and into lockout.
I’ve YouTubed my video from Winnipeg. The video was actually created by Kain, a fellow lifter.
Looks good. As you say, the pulls have definitely improved. What’s the next deadlift goal?
Great video summary, I liked the ‘Footage Missing’ shot. Looks like you have your deadlift issue fixed too.
Scott: I want to pull 595/270 by year end, I think i have 584/265 in me now so that should be possible.
Keaner: Kain does a good job making his “montages”.
It was like night and day watching your control over bench 2 versus bench 1. Your speed off the ground with the deads is absolutely amazing. If you can just fix that very top lockout issue, you’ll be mid 6’s pretty quickly.
By the way, how do you think this setup change will effect the lockout?
good analysis stinn. That was kind of my problem with conventional awhile ago, but I’ve managed to drop my butt down and I think it’s help a lot. I just need to work on breaking the ground!
Jon: I think it will fix most of the lockout issues as I’m starting with my shoulders back further than before. I think I’ll always fail a deadlift at lockout though, I don’t know what’s worse at lockout or off the floor…
Chris: The 8 weeks of oly lifting I did really helped me with off the floor power. You should try tossing in my power cleans or high pulls for 6-8 weeks and see how it helps you.
Stinn: I don’t know if anyone else had this problem, but the YouTube video didn’t buffer very well and it stopped every 5 seconds or so for a few seconds and continued. I’d rather have a wmv file, just my 2 cents.
You sure got those deadlifts up fast. All of your lifts look very good. Congratulations on a great day.
Not sure if it’ll be any better but it’s on google video too http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3194672242903093080&q=stinn
I know you can download it from there. The WMV file is about 50mb so I didn’t want to host it if I didn’t have to.
As good as your other lifts were, those deadlifts were FUCKING FAST!!! Damn!!!
Nice lifting bro!! Getting real strong.
Awesome job Stinn, your DL form looked way better than the before one. Congrats on some great numbers!!!
