Joe has been on fire lately and his deadlift forma nd strength are really peaking right on time. We have really spent ALOT of time working on proper form: linking to the bar through the hips, wedging,creating tension,taking up slack and, very importantly speed work.It is really paying of big as Joe pulled and easy 517 lb PR.
Joe really underscores the importance of being square, plumb and neutral as an athlete. Joe can handle big workloads and intensities and still recover fast as he is so symmetrical. The guy is just a horse and has just barely tapped the surface of his strength. If we had just gotten this in September I would have been happy.
450 warmup
495 five plates.
517 all time PR!
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Thank you Rif for the feedback, kind words and of course most important the program design, direction and coaching on the things you mentioned.
And thank you to everyone for the feedback. If you just look at the process behind the program and the coach tips Rif mentions you can see why I have had such success.
There is a method to the madness, this must be remember and I thank Mark for teaching me this
Wow, looks like Joe's got a lot more in the tank! Very crisp and solid form.
keats,
thanks for stopping by. we've been working form harder than anything for quite awhile.
Rif, you and Joe have done some incredible work together. With your knowledge and experience and his genetic potential, that adds up to me quite a package!
Congratulations to you both you and Joe!
Very nice work guys. Vey nice pull, Joe.
Made it look easy!

517 is a just a bridge to a heavier pull. good job
