I used rack pulls for my ME Squat Day. Need a new exercise for this rotation. I have trouble with the weight off the floor so I was thinking pulling from a deficit. Thoughts?
Note: I don't have any bands or chains so I can't do any exercises involving them.
War only has rules for the loser.
I see your point........BUT, ill speak for myself and a guy that had to dress according to a certain code because some folks felt intimidated at work that worked on my crew...It is a reality, and it does suck...Not sure if you are in a management position, but everything truly changes when not in an hourly role, judgement becomes a problem and when in a small town it is a bigger problem, especially if in a union environment and have to deal with performance issues, anything and everything gets thrown at you by union exec when you are trying to curb an issue...or set expectations that need to be delivered upon and you hold your workers accountable..........Originally Posted by C-money
CC was accused of using steroids in the gym by a jealous bitch that she blew away in contest, and she is in a management position and it got back to work and we were questioned by peers...LMAO....I have been accused several times, and dress way down at work, everyone knows im a big bitch, no-one knows what it looks like ...except a few times ive been up town and then you hear about it...lol
People are generally ignorant, My company just brought in drug testing for certain incidents, and CC had to deliver it to the hourly and management folks, Guys get scared and then want steroids to be tested for as well...lol...slowly you see all heads turn toward me when mentioned...Seriously most folk are clueless about the hormone subject and thinking your an addict rager if using....Now me bringing a camera in to the redneck gym i go to would make the front page....Guaranteed, and then id be a roid raged, egotistical ass hole recordin himself....lol....
Perception is reality, and unil i experienced many moves myself to many communities did i truly start to see it, in my hometown i am known and accepted, most people dont understand the Harassment and predjudice some of us face daily...
I seiously had to wear loose fitting dress shirts at one of the last places i worked as there were to many complaints of intimidation when wearing a t-shirt type fit shirt....I quit 4 months later...But its absolutely real...
On the other hand, i really dont think a snow shovelling company would pinch a snowshoveller for juicing, maybe a raise should be given in such instance...lol.....

and i thought my gym was redneck IW lol.. all i would say is your filming just to check your form on your big lifts.. but either way that situation would suck
The worst thing you can be is average... LIGHTWEIGHT!!!!!!
Pull off a box 4 inches (or so) off the floor, it will build the start and finish.
this thread has a lot of good feedback, question for bodybuilders. when i do my deads i don't let the weight touch the floor, i come to about 1-2 inches, when i go real heavy maybe 3 inches from the floor. i guess in my head i have it ingrained that time under tension is paramount. does anyone else do this or warm up like this? i havent seen anyone do it yet, but noone deadlifts at my gym really either. some feedback would be great from powerlifters too i guess, maybe if you do it to warm up?
Time under tension is a secondary concept to increasing the weight with good form.
You can pump light weights for an infinite amount of time and not get bigger or stronger.
Time under tension within the context of a correct lift is significant BUT it is dependent on your work capacity. Somewhere between 80% & 100% of your 1RM is going to be an optimal weight that provides strength increases and myofibral hypertrophy. For most of us that's somewhere between the 5 and 12 rep range.
Time under tension is important when you are lifting within a constructive stimulus range. If you don't apply adequate volume within the contructive stimulus range then you are not stimulating as many fibres as possible. Depending on the percentage of 1RM and training level (elite athletes can use their strength more effectively) the Time under tension, reps, will vary from just a few to 20 rep widow makers. For me effective TUT equates to around 15-20 working reps within the deadlift. Any more requires that I lift ineffective weight or crushes my recovery ability.
The idea of partial deadlifts to affect time under tension is not an appropriate application of the concept. If you like partial deadlifts as an exercise then that is certainly your choice but personally I like to work the whole range of a movement.

I was thinking something along those lines. Or maybe good mornings and start at the bottom. I just got finished reading a couple articles that have helped with my decision but I'll post them in a different thread.

No they might not fire me, but i can't take that chance right now bro. I need to eat right and if i lose this job im in big trouble.
Your reply was nothing short of awesome bro. Im glad u can understand big or not people will STILL think shit and when roids are mentioned people DO get scared and think we might go on a killing spree er something in a fit of roid rage.
It's not fair at all as people in my town constantly drink n drive, beat there wifes and children and get stabbed in the daytime, but that's nothing i guess where as if u use steroids OMFG BEWARE!!!!!
