Friday, April 30, 2010 - Olympic Technique, M.E. Deadlift, D.E. Box Squats

I went to Matanuska Barbell tonight and worked on Olympic Technique and M.E. Deadlifts. I got to 375 (a PR) on the Deadlift pretty easy and was loading 385 on the bar. Jason started loading 405 for me and had me not mess with the 385. I got it up to my knees and switched forward deactivating my postier chain. That bar wasn't going any higher. Jason watched the video and found out exactly where I went wrong in my technique. So going forward I will be working on my Deadlift technique and incorporating a lot of Romanian Deadlifts into my workouts.
