I mean having not seen you lift I can't say for sure, but I don't see why not? When I started dead lifting I didn't have a goal in mind but I knew it was a great overall strength exercise so I watched a few YouTube video to check my form and put it in my weekly rotation. For a long time I just did four sets, 135, 185, 225, 225. Then I moved the fourth to 265 after a couple of months, and eventually to 315. Once I was comfortable with 315 at least 6 reps I moved up again. I've just been adding sets now to go up in weight. Yesterday I did 135x10, 185x8, 225x6, 265x6, 315x5, 365x4, 405x3, 455x2, 500x1. Just like with every thing else, form is key, strength will come...

Maybe we do need a separate thread for that... I start out at 135 too and work my way up when I do it. If I just jumped on 315 or higher I'm sure I'd hurt myself. It's taken me a while, at least a year to get up to 500. For a long time I didn't go higher than 225.

That's pretty much what the one at our gym looks like. Speaking of deadlift... I did them yesterday and finally had the balls to try 500lbs. Got it for 1 rep pretty easily. Onward and upward I suppose.

Is this what you're talking about? Our gym has one, but I've never used it. I picked it up one time and I think that'd hurt my shoulders with the wide grip.
-
Yeah I do the mixed grip always have... I can see your point about straps... Never really mattered but I'm getting to the point weight wise where I Can see where being able to simply let go is helpful if the pull doesn't go well...

Our Gold's "frowns on" chalk... lol Any other suggestions?
-
Yeah, but it's really common sense/courtesy to try and not be in other peoples way. How hard is it to think "hmmm... if I stand here, no one else can get the weights..."? Similar things can be said about people's driving habits for sure.

Running is great exercise.

Joscott knows the deal... our gym is full of assholes and the way the dumbbell rack is setup is beyond stupid. We're with you CK, that's ignorant, grab it, step back and work out so others can too.
-
I would say that's an excellent start!
