thanks alot i am getting ready for a powerlifting meet in november and this is really going to help correct a couple mistakes, no lifting straps in meets tho is there?

[Talo]

no sir , no straps.

EC has a great way of teaching.

what is considered a respectable novice total for a 6'3 240lber?

ps. deadlifts on the schedule for today

[Talo]

Not sure. 400 is a good lift.

My best is 540 @ 6'1 230lbs , but i know guys that do less and more :)

As an FYI...the password is deadlift not DEADLIFT.

good video! You always seem to dig up some useful info. Judging by the vid, my grip is a little wider then his. Usually my last fingers are at the smooth portion in between knurled sections. I use to use straps, but have found lifting chalk to be far superior. My personal raw with chalk is a 425 and with a belt 455. Kind of stuck there for the time being though.
I'm 5'11 at 217 right now.

Like you I've been stuck at 530 for a long time now. I'm trying to find things that are going to help me.

I think I'm going to add in some deflect deads because for me it's getting it off the ground.
