What's funny is how often people rag him for his form. it's just how he does it O_O

It works for him though, I guess

I saw a guy rack pulling 9 plates on either side today, I might upload it if anyone cares to see. He was literally the strongest dude I've personally seen in my life.

Sure I would like to see it.

A wheel chair will work for him in the future too.
Your point being?

how far off the ground?

my point being he's gonna do what he wants to do, he knows the consequences. It's working wonders for him now, i'm not gonna complain.

There is no excuse for increasing the risk of injury, regardless of any exercise attempted at any given weight. Period.
Think, complain and rebuttal any way you desire, there is no argument to be had. I would be far more impressed with a 500lb deadlift executed well.

That video was anything but educational or inspiring.

don't worry your deads will profit from you actually having legs.

Duh. That form will "work" for anyone and you will be able to pull more weight that way.

It is not safe however, and you are cheating yourself because you're not using your muscles appropriately.

It takes a shitload of mental fortitude to keep perfect form at 98-100% of your 1RM. I guess form has a lot to do with self respect in a sense.

One of the many things I love about this sport.
