Exactly. He should be putting a bit more effort into his form and less into his essays that most of us skip over.
Out of curiosity, why are you jumping into the anti- Matt C posts, chaos?
I'm baffled that you and I, who have had a good rapport here for years, just jumps on this because you perceive it as being popular.
NOT to jump on the anti-B. Hank bandwagon - but to be fair, he has been VERY negative to some members [not me, lately - I consider our squabble squashed].
But B. Hank has insulted many Getbiggers. You know that's not my style.
As for JustPlaneJane - he needed to be called out on his ludicrous claims. I contained all my huge posts in THIS thread - I feel that is reasonable.
RE: my form:
Have you not watched an Arnold Classic Pro Strongman, chaos?
Strongman is NOT powerlifting.
Bottom line: lock it out, get the rep.
I'm training for MY competition type. So what's wrong?
And if you want to place a wager...I'll deadlift 550 for the next three weeks in a row, just to prove I can do MORE weight [with obviously worse form], and not be injured.
So...if I can take it, and it's part of my contest format, why change?
I think you are projecting your own preferences / training needs onto me. I'll be fine.
