Dead lift Q&A Thread

[tonymcclellan]

They took the diamond out of my gym. I used it for shrugs but hadn't even thought to deadlift with it.

Ya one of my buddies deadlifts with it.

I would think you could do a db deadlift and similate the diamond bar. Maybe not in overall weight but at least in your grip.

Either your arms are to long or your nuts are to big. I've never heard anyone having this problem before.

lol,

so... when you dead lift, where on your body does the bar come up to?

I think I was leaning back too early, pushing my hips slightly forward causing the "problem"

Welll...stand up and let your hands fall to your sides, the bar will rest at this level only a bit higher due to the slight "shrug".
