Top 10 Deadlift mistakes by Dave Tate

[519Muscle]

Some people haven't learned that this sport is not about what someone else does or did. It's about what you do and are doing - your progression.

When I see guys in the gym trying to lift more than I know they can I tell them to lower the weight, focus on form and forget who is around. In here the only barometer or success is the one you see in the mirror looking back at you. No one cares about what you lift so you shouldn't care about what someone else lifts. Just do your thing, do it right and you'll get stronger and progress.

People have way to big of an ego.

Some really good points in their...I found out the hard way about 8moths ago i suffered a lower back lumbar strain while dl the worst pain i have ever experienced. Now before every workout i leave my ego at the door...

I think I did what you mentioned yesterday. I was doing dl's and was reviewing this thread to see if I followed the points at the beginning. I'm not really in pain, just very tender this morning and if I move a certain way it pinches. Lesson learned, LEAVE EGO AT HOME!

Great thread at the beginning!!! I was just talking to my training partner a few days ago about deadlifting and about technique.

Then this thread started going bad with dremen telling everyone how he can deadlift so much cold. It was rather amusing really.

Then I read another thread about metalchick doing a pr with a video and the comment that dremen left on how to correct her form. dremen, you've got some nerve to sit there and tell her how to correct her form on a PR when you won't post a video. Yeah, yeah I read the crap about you possibly losing your job if you post a video blah, blah, blah. If I was metalchick I would be telling you where to go.

Sorry dremen I know I don't know you but that just burns me when someone does crap like that. She didn't ask for your critic. She did a great job so leave it at that!
