What's 'form'? People deadlift differently. Stop trying to shoehorn everyone into your own little view of what's appropriate and what's not. Most importantly, stop the Internet jealousy because it's beyond puerile.

I don't think many people would debate this, although powerlifting competitions are filled with people maxing out and using bad form to do it. When your getting close to max or going for a PR, there is a good chance your form will suffer. Smart trainees will back off, but competitive lifters will push on.

If you can lift it off the ground, stand erect, and pull your shoulders back, it's a legal deadlift. Now, for that, there truly is no debate.

And let's take a poll - how many people here are powerlifters or have entered a powerlifting competition?

Didn't think so...

Where have you been that you have caught such a severe case of teh dumb?

Like I said, keep justifying your ****** form with these stupid excuses. You're only hurting yourself.

In the gym, lifting like a normal human, not being overly concerned with my 1rm max which means absolutely sweet **** all in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not even going to bother asking what your guys' 1rm max is because I don't want you to embarrass yourselves more than you already have.

this coming from someone who advocated doing 1000's of reps a day of bodyweight exercies to "get ripped", and claims that natural peanut butter is the perfect food from a nutritional standpoint . . .

Why do you lift, if not to get stronger? One measurement of strength is a 1rm. Assuming that you lift for bodybuilding purposes, do you not measure your progress in some way?

Cool. Don't associate with us losers then. I like how in one post you say the deadlift doesn't count if form is 'bad', but then say in another that 1rm is meaningless anyway. You've yet to define what proper form is yet you argue it incessantly.

I do that workout once a month to keep things interesting. Big ******* deal. Ever heard of breaking routine? I didn't expect you to since you've probably never even seen a gym. I'd like to see your lard ass get through a similar workout without getting on your knees and calling for your momma's nipple. And I never once used the phrase 'get ripped' but continue to misquote me ******.

And all the proper deadlifting form information is easily accessible on your fingertips, but I forgot I'm talking to a bunch of powerlifters...

Hmmm. "And I never once used the phrase 'get ripped' but continue to misquote me ******."

Apology accepted, bro.

WOOSH!

That's the sound of the sarcasm flying over your head. I thought you were referring to this post: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...&postcount=693

Surprised you're a law student. I didn't realize University of Phoenix was selling law degrees online.

Have fun at spin class, Nancy.

There was no indication of sarcasm in that post, and judging by your advocating it a few posts ago, I suspect it was in fact not sarcastic... stop digging...
