Deadlifts are my favourite of the "Big 3", my P.R. and world record is 440 Lbs, conventional style. My Ultimate goal is to deadlift 500 lbs.
So Dr's orders, I am only allowed to lift up too 1/2 the weights I can normally lift for the next 3 months so I will be working up to that, however it will be hard to stay there as I know I am way strongher than that but I must be smart and not re-injure my shoulder.
Today I was Living, Learning, Passing On, helping one of my friends and Kettlebell clients with her squat. She has always had a difficulty getting low in her squat and her knees always came forward. Today I put her on the belt squat machine, what a great training tool this piece of equipment is. Kelly made great progress on this machine, I recommend teaching the proper squat mechanics on this beast!

My training has been feeling great this week, so happy to be pain free again. Excited for the day I can get under a straight bar to squat again, that ROM isn't quite there yet but I'm working on it.
So today along with my training I helped a friend, that is what team Elitefts does, we Live, Learn, Pass On.
