@charlesstaley To say that this was difficult would be the understatement of the year LOL. I give myself an A+ for effort, but not super happy with this technically. For the next 4-6 weeks I will lower intensity a bit to work on a few things, then will repeat this effort with better mechanics. 👊 #deadlifttillimdead💀 #LowerBodyWorkout #mhfitness #OnlineCoach #Over50 #DeadLift #LegDay #StaleyStrategies #teamnocalves #fitnessmotivation #fittips #leanin #fitover50 #power #leadbyexample #incrediwear #deadliftparty #gluteworkout #essentialtremor #workethic #liftingiscardiotoo #liftingweights #strengthandconditioning #posteriorchain #legtraining #gymmotivation #gymmemes #fakeweights #godimold https://www.instagram.com/p/B0KLi82A5FE/?igshid=rf94f82ieu9d

Yes sir @charlesstaley LIFTING TECHNIQUE 101: THAT'S ALL BACK, BRO! 🏋🏻‍♂️ This is perhaps the most common critique of my deadlifting, and while my technique certainly isn't "perfect," this particular critique is flat wrong, and here's why: 🏋🏻‍♂️ Whenever you perform any exercise, some muscles (the agonists(s) work dynamically to overcome a resistance, while others (the stabilizers) contract STATICALLY to prevent unwanted movement at other parts of your body so that you are stable enough to overcome that resistance. Example: When you curl a barbell, the elbow flexor muscles (including the biceps) contract dynamically to move the weight, while almost every other muscle in your body will contract statically to "brace" you as your biceps curls the bar. In this scenario, the biceps is the prime mover or "target" muscle. You'd never say "That's all shoulders bro!" or "That's all abs bro!" because as you curl, there's no dynamic moment of those muscles. 🏋🏻‍♂️ Watching my deadlift here (474x3 from yesterday's training), notice the complete lack of spinal movement as my hips extend to overcome the external load. YES, the back muscles are active, but only statically. The prime movers here are the primary hip extensors (hamstrings and glutes). SO: not only is my deadlift not "all back," it's actually almost NO back. This is why, despite continuous heavy lifting since the early 80's, I have no back issues whatsoever. 🏋🏻‍♂️ Questions? Comments? Disagree with me?

Yes sir @charlesstaley 455 (207kg)x7. Coming soon: 455x10 👊 A lot of people are asking how I’m hitting these numbers recently and the answer is, there is no single thing - it’s a combination of a number of factors. Aside from the fake plates (duh!), I’m enjoying the atmosphere at @goeosfit, I’ve got great support from my training partners @patrickthomas_fit and @mhfitnesstraining, and perhaps most of all, I am extremely focused on my goal of 455×10. After today’s lifting, I’m very confident of reaching that goal within the next few months. Age 59, bodyweight 197 🏋🏻‍♂️ #deadlifttillimdead #powerlifting #staleystrategies #primarypatternprogramming #legday #fitover50 #fakeplates #teamnocalves #leadbyexample #deadlift #gymmotivation #bettereveryday #mhfitness #hardworkbeatstalent #scottsdale #onlinecoach (at Fitness Connection) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvrLYO2A8fE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wqbutf03thkm
