Nick a tip for you; especially in the heavier weights you seem to bend your left arm and flex your bicep quite a lot. That's a great way to tear your bicep. So always when using mixed grip in deadlifts remember to focus on keeping your arms straight.

[@coreyellis3327]

Huge Congrats on the PR Collin! Though I'd wager he definitely has 540+ in him. That 530 was only milliseconds slower than the 500... Just goes to show that aesthetics and size don't always go hand-in-hand with strength (I pinned him as one of the lesser built guys out of the top 3-5).

[@s9mp9e]

This is an awesome series. The camaraderie makes for great energy. Collin is a strong guy. Winced at the lifting form at a couple moments of the vid. Can get away with it when you're the age of these guys, but if they don't correct the lifting form, it'll compound and the effects will definitely catch up. Hitting 30 recently, i suddenly felt my age. Cultivate positive habits young and reinforce them over time.

That was some impressive lifting all around. Anything over three plates is honestly pretty respectable. People don't realize the amount of work it takes the average person to get above that point. You can't knock anyone who puts in the work to get there. The fact that you see this and celebrate guys who step up and achieve is absolutely fantastic. I started lifting because of bullying. I can only imagine how far I could've taken my body if I had that level of positivity around me through my quest for strength. I could have added plates to my lifts. Ok, that and a dietician would've been nice. I eat like a pig.
