This is one of my training partners DL. Don't get much faster than this. EastCoast1 can attest that this dude is one impressive guy to watch lift.

That was wild!

So that's optimum form? Just wondering because I'm a student.

His form is ok, but it's not necessarily what I would suggest. His head facing downward and how he kinda just 'grips and rips' isn't typical on what is taught, but it works for him. He's a mid 700lb deadlifter at 198lbs, but there's always things everyone can clean up form wise. For every lifter, it's about finding what is best for him/her.

That was just retarded fast...

 

[Bullmuscle7]

What about attempting to go that fast for the average person? Don't you risk tearing a bi?

 

[DieYoungStrong]

That looked pretty slow to me...

Ya definitely. That's why the grip and rip method is not optimal, because then you have a tendency to jerk the bar. That can increase the chance of injury, as well ascausing the bar path to get out of whack. You want to try and be explosive, but just make sure your technique is on point to minimize chance of injury.

That's what I thought.

I'm learning speed is critical because otherwise if you are too slow you use up all your power and the lift hitches. But It must be precise also. So...fine line.

Excellent thread by the way...

He is VERY explosive, but his technique is damn good. It might not be "text book" but he has honed this form in over YEARS. He is good at getting tight in a split second. When he does that little jerk before he sets up for the pull he tightens the shit out of his lats.

I have literally watched him pull 405 so fast, and drive his hips so hard it comes up near face level..lol

One of the most exciting lifters to watch, especially deadlift.
