    keep working on the arch. practice practice and more practice. those diamnod plates arent helping either. they will f up your form every lift. keep working on making the low back stronger so you can hod your arch.

    They (plates) throw me off every time. I am thinking about working at a diff gym for deads. My old gym has round plates.

    I might not be standing close enough to the bar. Next week is a new week to give it a try again.

    stand with your shins touching the bar. the closer the better. the bar rides right up my shins. i have a lot of pretty marks on my legs from it. the furthur the bar is from the shins, the harder it is to pull

    Doc how you feel about rack deads ? I was feeling so much better with them. I figure cut out the legs and just work that back as hard as i could.

    rack deads are neccessary, but the dont replace deads form the floor you need to do both or alternate them.



    also i meant to tell you hit up your abs too. weighted abs, not abs or crunches for a million reps. get your core strong and everything falls into place
