Sheiko week 1 day 3
Ok. I hit every rep first and foremost. Got to the gym at 6:15 left at 8:30. I have never done the lift to knees aka fucking hell because it isn't what you think. It's pull to the knee pause then finish the rep. Also have never done rack pulls either. Those aren't as bad as the to the knees. Results of the night. Hands are bleeding I'm hungry as fuck and this shit is no joke.

My face is pretty blurry so no biggie.

Can't play the video on my phone for some reason. Will look at it later and give my feedback. Maybe others can chime in before.
Being the magic wizard that my cousin is, he got it to play on my phone.
Form looks pretty solid.
Take off the shoes if here running shoes. Do it in socks or flat, thin soled shoes like chucks. Less compression with the sole and slightly shorter ROM.
Keep the bar closer to your body. It looks like the bar starts a bit far out. Try to keep it over mid foot right before initiating the pull. It looks a bit further than that which will cause you to lean forward to compensate. It should graze your shins and thighs as it comes up.
Your low back looks rounded when you begin the pull also. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing but most ppl will be better off with some sort of curve in their lumbar. Just don't hyperextend it too much though. Lock your low back in place before beginning and it'll be easier to maintain it throughout the lift.
Other than those minor things I like what I saw.

Awesome. I've never really had much help with DLing and I feel like the pauses threw me off a bit tonight. The next time I do regular DLs I'll take another one.
Honestly don't know why I wore my shoes. I never wear shoes DLing
Pauses can mess up your regular deadlift form yes so just pay attention to your body and make sure your form stays intact. It's exactly like a regular deadlift with a slight pause half way up. Think about it like that as it may help you

Being that this is the first time seeing your deadlift and its a variation, its tough to say exactly what is "right" or "wrong" for you but one thing that stands out to me is at about 11-12 secs in, your legs are straight and bar is just at the knees. Straightening the legs too early will take them out of the lift and transfer the burden to your lower back while making it more difficult to get the hips through.
I would like to see a stronger leg position when the bar is at your knees so that when you initiate the lift after the pause, you can be more explosive by driving your feet into the floor. The leg drive will also help you quickly close the gap between the bar and your hips.
Would be great to see your regular deadlift sometime.

Next time I do them I'll get another video. Appreciate the advice brother. I will say that it was my first time ever doing pauses at the knees so I was a little off tonight and a bit nervous I guess you could say as the program called for a decent amount of weight for a movement I've never done

Yeah, I could tell you were new to this movement - doesn't quite look natural yet. But, like with anything else, the speed and efficacy we gain in our endeavors are in direct correlation to the work we put into it. It won't take you long to get it down.
Looking forward to the next vid. Thanks for posting this one.

Too much back in the last half- almost a straight leg dl
Start in a deeper sit. I have the same problem and keeping my chest up cue in my head helps a lot.
If you were bleeding you did it right. Awesome job man.
That nice dry cold air and deadlifts had my hands splitting left and right once chalk got added in.
Nice vid man. I always like when members take that extra step. Like brute and doc and insert said. Too much back involved. No biggie at 315. But 500+ it will break you. Be careful man I jacked mine up on only 315. Stay healthy
Thanks for all the feedback on the pulls. I got a little work to do on that "to the knees" stuff. I'm sure there will be new videos up soon for more critiquing.
Just co-signing on the already mentioned advice. legs were straight at the pause, which isnt as advantageous of a position to be in. post a video of your regular DL when it comes up next.
have you ever thought about pulling sumo?

I actually meant to ask everyone's opinion on that. I've been watching a lot of Dan green pulls lately. Since I'm so new to actually DLing I'm sure I could match my current 1RM fairly quick.
I think his legs are locking out early bc of the rounded back in the beginning of the pull and a high starting position for the hips. It's part of the reason why rounded back deadlifts are easier to break off the floor but harder to lock out. Lots of big pullers pull with a rounded back so it boils down to what you feel better doing IMO.
Did you post that video using android? If so lmk how you did it. I did it successfully once a long time ago. Can't for the life of me figure out how again
I have an iPhone and I used tapatalk for my videos. I'm not a huge fun of navigating on tapatalk but it's good for notifications and videos
