    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    My humble view is that deadlifts are overrated as an exercise, beyond their importance to powerlifting. I tend to agree with this article https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-deadlift-who-needs-it I also say this despite that lift being probably my best lift of the three powerlifts. as a...

    Misdirected energy

    We've all seen some crazy weights been lifted by some very strong Olympic weightlifters; I'm referring to squatting here. You see a middleweight (75kg) weightlifter back squatting something like 290kg the way he just squatted 150 or 200kg. Great so where is this post heading? The point here...

    What do you wish you'd known about [insert lift here] when you started?

    What were some things that you learned about common lifts over time as you progressed? What do you see other people doing incorrectly most often?

    Sumo Deadlifts on Leg day???

    Anyone tried Sumo Deadlifts on Leg day as part of a BB routine? When you think about it, a Sumo Deadlift (or a "Powerlifting cheats Deadlift") takes out a lot of the Back and works the Legs and Glutes more. Bit like a Jefferson Squat but not as awkward.
