DL suits mainly help sumo pullers, but this is about the Couch bichos!

Tate and Rippetoe have apparently talked about this, and they aren't really in disagreement. Hard to make shoulders forward of hands placing load on mid back match with Tate's "Mistake #5: Not pulling the bar back The deadlift is all about leverage and positioning. Visualize a teeter totter. W...

Couch has now called the Rippetoe idea of getting shoulders forward of bar in the DL proprietary for @fit users only.

LOL!

The good thing is unless you are DLing in the broomstick to 135 range, this is Oly influenced drivel that nobody uses.

Tate or Rippetoe?

GDG!

After my How the Couch stole x-mas post he must think i am the sta-puff marshmellow man.

This guy is the greatest.

I see 200k...

People do @fit for 3 reasons: 1. The need to belong. Working out with a group of like minded folks is fun and a lot easier than facing 495 for triples with just a power rack betwen you and the floor, a 5 mountain mountain trail, or a big ocean all by your lonesome. 2. The need to have somebody tell ...

Hardest i have laughed at work during a meeting in a long time.

Moral:Don't read IGx during meetings.

Look on 1/27 picture for THE PROOF of 750lb DLs! While the Couch is blessing the communicant box squatting to the tupperware, a car can be seen in the background, clearly flipped over by a 750lb DLer who only DLs 3x a year.

WOW!

BZ to Bill Fox, Ab God and the Moses of IGx.

Way to get us to the 100k promised Land!

i will look into it. Seems serious, but i know nada about climbing

Coach Shafman, you did own him with that post. PL54, so what do you think of Gym Jones? Near as I can tell it's basically xfit with couch's pedantic preaching replaced by Twight's Dr. Doom persona, and some tailoring for enduro stuff. Some pissanting about form breaks allowed. Otherwise, identical....

Dawned on me while watching Casino Royale that @fit is the pursuit of pretending to be a badass secret agent man.

"They're giving you a number and taking away your name"

Applicable to both.

@fit: Fantasy sports for those who don't play one anymore and like to be physically abused.

Merry Christmas Bichos... You're a mean one, Mr. Couch. You really are a heel. You're as cuddly as a cactus, You're as charming as an eel. Mr. Couch. You're a bad mamajama With a greasy black peel.

Let's get to 100k and call it "Wanda"

Geezus, Jack, if I were a woman I'd marry you for that. be careful, Mak does need to think about anybody being a woman with the low carb thing going on for him right now... you could end up chained to a washing machine trying to translate the Serbo-croatian word 'in-ya". Or worse yet find out ...

the idea that the third squat is the ultimate position for anything other than an unweighted free squat is ridiculous. They still havent gotten the difference between a straight back and a vertical one. Show me one lifter(other than Dimas or a bodybuilder in smith machine) that squats like that wit...

And the Couch, with his Couch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without chick names. It came without tags. It came without pukey, rhadbo, or sandbags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his ring injury was sore. Then the Couch thought of something he h...

Funny story. On Thursday we are doing our Muay Thai, I notice a puny little cracker sniffing around the place. I sez "hi" and ask if he was interested in joining the class, he sez no, he's looking at the space because he is discussing holding classes there during the day. "What do yo...

Everybody else 300 or so for 5 as top set.

Where are the 700 DLers?

"But here's the fascinating part. We can take you from a 200 pound max deadlift to a 500-750 pound max deadlift in two years while only pulling max singles four or five times a year. We will though work the deadlift, like most lifts, approximately once per week at higher reps and under grueling...
