2018-04-07 04:58:52 UTC  

What's your strongest pull

2018-04-07 04:59:09 UTC  

btb/conventional/sumo?

2018-04-07 04:59:31 UTC  

Conventional. And I've hit 500 before.

2018-04-07 04:59:51 UTC  

gg

2018-04-07 05:00:12 UTC  

my strongest is defo behind the back

2018-04-07 05:00:18 UTC  

leverages are weird that way

2018-04-07 05:00:37 UTC  

I did 405 back in 2017

2018-04-07 05:01:05 UTC  

which wasn't too hard, but granted then my conventional wasn't even 350

2018-04-07 05:01:30 UTC  

I should have a conventional now of 405 when I finish this cycle

2018-04-07 05:01:45 UTC  

Am stronk 💪🏻

2018-04-07 05:02:21 UTC  

Honestly though once you figure out how to maximize your glutes and hammies deadlift is pretty easy imo

2018-04-07 05:02:34 UTC  

Doesn't kill my knee like squatting does as well

2018-04-07 05:03:01 UTC  

yeah I've engrained alot better muscle recruitment this time around

2018-04-07 05:03:13 UTC  

Actually feeling my glutes

2018-04-07 05:03:54 UTC  

Mental muscle recruitment is far from a meme

2018-04-07 05:04:08 UTC  

my legs make it so there isnt a difference between a stiff leg dl and a normal dl

2018-04-07 05:04:21 UTC  

I always picture my glutes and hams doing all the work, save for the last bit where I lean back

2018-04-07 05:04:21 UTC  

well, hardly much a difference

2018-04-07 05:04:44 UTC  

How do you set up? That can make a difference as well

2018-04-07 05:05:20 UTC  

I've done a LOT of research on my Deadlift, as it used to be my worst and most dreaded exercise

2018-04-07 05:05:41 UTC  

Now that I've figured things out, squats have regained that title

2018-04-07 05:06:02 UTC  

squats will never agree with my femur length

2018-04-07 05:06:17 UTC  

My knee is the biggest thing, tbh

2018-04-07 05:06:30 UTC  

I start hitting 400+ and my knee feels like it's on fire

2018-04-07 05:06:33 UTC  

I need wraps

2018-04-07 05:06:40 UTC  

hm

2018-04-07 05:07:12 UTC  

The only thing I know about having healthy knees is not letting quads overtake your hammies

2018-04-07 05:07:25 UTC  

so it doesn't pull your patella around out of place

2018-04-07 05:08:33 UTC  

I pretty much don't have a meniscus nor a good chunk of cartilage in my knee

2018-04-07 05:08:44 UTC  

ouch

2018-04-07 05:08:47 UTC  

Tends to cause a lot of stability issues

2018-04-07 05:09:02 UTC  

Plus a lot of inflammation there

2018-04-07 05:09:06 UTC  

mine clicks, cause I didn't treat it right for awhile

2018-04-07 05:09:22 UTC  

Yeah I've no advice to help you there haha

2018-04-07 05:10:12 UTC  

Just got a shitty surgeon to do my survey, lol
