Joined a new gym last night. Hilarious

Damn, how can someone work up to a 500lb deadlift with form like that an not hurt themselves?

Youth... It will catch up to him eventually (not that I would want it to, just saying it will).

Some people never get hurt and become word record breaking powerlifters instead. I know a 65kg guy who deadlifts like that, he can pull 260kg. None of his training is structured, just typical bro stuff. Very casual.

Second guy is Tom Martin. He does know how to Deadlift.

Sometimes when you are hitting a 1RM in competition or training for the first time the back rounds.

That'd be the section on the deadlift.

Is there a particular section where it tells you not to set your back or that more mass on the back won't help stop it from rounding?

I thought Greg was telling you to read the text in the screenshot because the guy recognizes that his back is rounded during the deadlift.

Thing is, those 2 guys' lower backs looked fine. Thoracic flexion is quite common.

What reason could there be there for the 2 1/2 pound plates to be on opposite sides of the fucking gym! This is not the first time! I mean, is there somebody out there that only needs one for an exercise?

Here is a T-shirt idea. If somebody makes money out of it, all I ask is for a free T-shirt. I want it with the picture of a 2 1/2 plate on a carton of milk and the words 'have you seen this plate?'

I honestly thought you were talking about Rip's pull. Rips lower back is in extension. Sking's comment applies.

I like this. Also, why do we need 22 different brands and sizes of ten pound weights on the squat rack? shouldn't, I don't know, four be the maximum amount that would be needed. Same for 5s.
