some more back training ~ shelby style

[Shelby]

Some videos from today to demonstrate how I approach machine pullovers, and floor deadlifts. Perhaps they will be of value to some of the readers.

On pullovers I use an accentuated negative and stretch, but on the deadlifts I pretty much just pull and hope the bar moves
I didn't tape my backoff set on deads - I got 385 x 12 there. My best was 445 x 12 early last year, I'll work back up to that (+ some) over the coming months.

[sgtedrobinson]

Great dead lift!!!!!!

 

[Michaelthomasj]

Awsome deads...And that back is getting super thick and wide. It is amazing how much you have grown. You have a great recipe for growth.

 

[Shelby]

I think I might get back into powerlifting when I get sick of bodybuilding. I just love to deadlift.

 

[Mr.G]

You are just growing man, solid. I need to get back on track been going through a divorce & this stuff brings me back, good stuff

Shelby are you on the 2 way or 3 way split?

 

[salemguy321]

I've been checking out all your vids... you're an animal! Very intense

 

[Shelby]

Shelby are you on the 2 way or 3 way split?

2-way. The workouts are long, but I like having 4 days off per week. When I start dieting in March I'll switch to the 3-way.

Thanks guys. It would be cool if more posted up training videos...

Shelby are you on the 2 way or 3 way split?

I know he'll chime in, but I'm pretty sure after his last contest he moved to the 2 way split to get a little mental break and hit the gym harder (in my opinion). From his posts it seems to have really helped. I do think he has a contest around the corner so don't know what will change.

Shelby really made progress in life in 09' & I enjoy watching 2010 start...

Rock on

Shelby,

Your back is rounded during the deadlifts; I've always heard that the type of form you used in your video is a great way to develop serious back problems.

Is there something I don't know regarding deadlift form? Help a new jack out.

Can you show us how to do 530 X 6 from the floor? It looked just about perfect to me...

I think his question was fair... we have all " heard" things... and usually from ppl who dont know shit!! Btech, shelby really knows his stuff... so forget what u hear...and watch this man, and read what he writes.

 

[MEAN V.]

Looking good on the deads bro! Thanks for the vids shelby, I'm just getting back in the game, and your vids are VERY inspirational, and educational! Any chance of some pressing vids soon (chest and shoulders)?

 

[njpooldude]

I like the guy in the backround while your doin the deads... Hes like " dam, that dudes an animal!"

Do you think you could dead lift more with out wearing your inter planetary vision spectrometers? They have to be throwing your center of gravity off heh?

 

[concreteguy]

Serious

All kidding aside. You seem to be growing faster than anyone else at PM this last year or so. You look huge in that vidio posing. Nice job!

Got it

There's some natural rounding in my upper back but it's nothing excessive. I've been deadlifting like this for years and I've never had any injuries.

Here are some guys that are much stronger and bigger than I that use a similar style when deadlifting:
YouTube - Matt Kroczaleski 810lb deadlift
YouTube - Bodybuilder Johnnie Jackson 765 lb. deadlifts
