Love this guy, I used his Big Beyond Belief (see his shirt) training book back in the 90s. Got me to 205-210 lbs at 10%ish body fat at 5'10". It was awesome. I was stronger than any other time in my life too. He was the quintessential bodybuilder. He didn't have the genetics of some of the other guys, but he grinded until he was big enough to be on that stage. He was always about volume and weight and getting it done.

[@younggun7722]

This is really insane. But it does help if someone is shorter like him, much less knees bending and floor is closer. I usually dont lift more than 100kg and never touch the ground during sets, so i dont need to bend my knees completely every time.

[@fodillaoudi956]

This is the classic bodybuilding deadlift, its perfect for the back. Now, Powerlifters like Ronnie, start in a lower position and uses more legs at the start to lift the heaviest.... Both are deadlifts. The purpose is different, one is to work your back, the other to lift as much weight as you can. Which makes perfect sense. You start at a lower position to involve legs at the starts because legs are way way stronger than your lower back at the starting point plus the hand position is closer to the legs at the start.... (reduces range of motion and avoids biceps and elbows injuries) I love deadlift, its amazing, I am 48 still lifting heavy on deadlift....
