is this supposed to be impressive?
a midget cant be a good soccer player either
Put the 425 on the barbell and see if he can do it
Honestly, that trap bar makes a crazy difference. Impressive lift still, but what can he hit on a regular dead?
Nice 425lb pull after a 330lb 12" box squat at bodyweight of a whopping 153lbs!! He's a 20 year old soccer player..
How do you measure proper box squat height. I would assume it would change according to the height or leg length of the person.
Buy some new plates you tightwad!
why are you trying to bulk up a soccer player? even if he was a holding mid-fielder, that fucker has to run a quarter marathon per game. no wonder usa soccer players suck ass.
Pretty rare when I use a straight bar DL on my athletes. We prefer trap bar.
coach do you think the trap bar decreases the chance of injury? esp torn biceps. the twist arm seems to rip on a lot of guys.
Efficient use of muscle. Trap bar corrects your posture so that your lower back doesn't get destroyed from poor lifting technique. It's also a lift from higher up start which makes it easier. Never felt any biceps risk on either lift though you do hear about it on the internet.
Please don't call this a deadlift. Shame on you Coach.Even the handles are higher off the ground, not to mention the line of pull. If he pulled 4x his bodyweight like this it would be pretty good.
