June Challenge - Vertical Bar Deadlift

#The Vertical Bar Deadlift

Congratulations to u/AlwaysRoom4Dessert and u/TMutaffis for top DOH axle cleans in last month's challenge. The random drawing winners are u/Productiveparrot (Gorilla Strength) and u/Engineer_daddy91 (Serious Steel). This month we'll be performing a one hand vertical bar deadlift!

#The Lift:

  1. Secure some weight to a 2+ inch loading pin or loadable vertical pipe grip.
  2. Lift with one hand like so to lockout.
  3. Control the weight back down.

#The Details:

  • If you use a carabiner attachment (see demo), the handle should start below the knees. Stand on blocks or plates if necessary.

  • Watch this demonstration.

  • Post any questions/conversations here.


##Prizes

  • Special flair will be awarded for the two heaviest lifts.
  • David Dennis of GorillaStrength.us continues to sponsor these challenges. It will be a random drawing, so anyone that posts a video could win!
