ive hit PR's in the weight room on back to back weeks now. while my shit isn't the most impressive is very encouraging for me, I still have forever to go but the success I have been having lately, despite the injuries I have been accruing, I attribute much to the help Richard has given me. I have been grinding away with a few things since the summer and am now reaping the benefits. I will not divulge the tips he has given me. I feel like he may have bigger plans for them. thank u bro.

Whats going Zac'BOSS, first im glad that my info on youtube has help you out thus far. I will be placing more tips up later on this mont but mostly my training sessions till after the RUM7 and the Arnold Classic. My favorite accessory for Squat is Front squats, for Bench its not my favorite but is the most benefial is any kind of overhead movement and for Deadlift i would say deficits. Hit me up if there is any other questions
So my deadlift has been my weakness for the longest time now. I have tried both conventional and sumo. After watching multiple deadlift videos in slow motion from you and other big lifters i noticed that when you ALL pull conventional your ass's are somewhat high up when you begin to pull. For the longest time i have been told to "squat the weight up from the bottom. I always did that and i think i was sort of fighting against myself the whole time.
After seeing all the hips/ass up higher from you and other big deadlifters it doesn't seem any of you are "squating the weight up" from the start. your legs are almost locked out.
Yesterday i went in for deadlift day and gave it a try. I kept my hips and ass higher than normal and felt soooo much better. I felt i could pop my hips through A LOT sooner in the lift. I will try again next week, in hopes that this was not just a "good day" in the gym.
I kept the bar close to me the whole time, and focused on popping my hips through. I did not stiff leg deadlift the weight either which was good.
Any feedback you can give me would be great

Even with all the people i have known and been around, I've realized I've been alone in this.

What is your plan on the week, how divide up your training?
Which is your logic of progress ?
And i have a very important ask on your way of make your deadlift training
I often see many of "big" powerlifteur say that the touch and go deadlift it's bad for the raw powerlifteur.
You who work the deadlift with touch and go, which profit you have and what do you think of deadstart deadlift versus touch and go deadlift ?
Your advice it's very important for me because we tell me often that a touch and go deadlift it's as a big shit but i don't think. And i start the deadlift with hips and glute in high position as you, i don't "squat" my deadlift.
I say that me excuse often but sorry for my bad english haha, i have bad english but i have to pause you my questions because it is really important for me.

LoneWolf45, Yes, sitting to squat the weight up, is a big piece of false info on deads that will not die and it irks the shit out of me alone with a lot of other things. You are on a better start now but its a lot more to it. I can sit here and type till my fingers fall off explaining it but its too much to fully get, understand, and piece together. If you could just do me a favor and wait for the end of next week, the answers that everyone is not asking will be answered. !!!PLEASE STAY TUNED TO THE ANIMAL YOUTUBE PAGE!!!

Zac'boss, Man im simple, I squat on mondays bench on wednesdays on thursdays secondary work for bench and deadlift on saturdays. Touch and go vs dead start is with dead start you are not allowing the body to train core strength and the endurance to maintain weight.
Hi Richard. Hope all's going well? I've got a couple of questions based on a couple of things I have picked up from your videos and posts.
You said about being able to dunk a basketball at 5ft4, which I guess involves a lot of explosive leg power. Watching videos from a couple of other strong lifters, (Tom Martin and Ben Rice), they utilize a lot of box jumps in their routines. Would you recommend similar exercises?
The second question is about core strength. You mention it a lot in your posts and I thought mine was pretty good, being able to do the human flag at 210lb. However, a recent squat stumble has made me doubt this. What sort of core strengthening techniques would you recommend?
