They remove a lot of details and make something complex more simple. The computer you’re using to read this article is built on a tower of abstractions. I have written in the past about how RPE.

Powerlifting ruminations, advice, and considerations. Monthly Archives: December 2014. The Deadlift is NOT a back exercise… unless you pull rounded. It’s up to you to decide what is best for you. What I’m smoking. To illustrate a round-backed style check out Eric Lilliebridge’s 900 pound pull (starts at 19 seconds in):. How do you pull? As you can see, the amount of spinal neutrality has a lot of bearing on the mechanics of your deadlift. It’s important to understand where you fall on the spect...Novice ...

Powerlifting ruminations, advice, and considerations. Monthly Archives: August 2014. Is the deadlift truly harder to recover from? Source: http:/ ditillo2.blogspot.com/2012/09/deficit-deadlift-cycle-ed-coan.html. I think this sets up a self-fulfilling prophecy.
