deadlift question
had a go at a 200kg deadlift the other day after doing a set of 195kg for reps. this is the first time ive attempted this weight.
does this count as a good rep or do i need to hold longer at the top as i lock out for it to count?

my knees are locked though and my chest is up albeit not for very long.Originally Posted by AndrewLewis
my question is would this count as a good lift or should i have held it up longer? i could have held it more but was somewhat fatigued from working sets i did before that.

That would have gotten red lights at any meet. The video is shitty, but I see no positive lockout.

ok thanks. will try again and see if i can get it next time.

Yeah, that wouldn't count. Gotta hold the lockout. Kudos on your determination though, hauling all that weight way out there and presumably hauling it back. GPP eh.

is this an improvement? 200kg again.
