Kevin Levrone could certainly never be faulted for his form, yet he tore his pec. Dorian was renowned for his form, yet he tore multiple muscles.

The argument presented is stupid. Next.

using bodybuilders who tore muscles is a stupid argument as they're completely unrelated to injuring your back using no belt and crappy form. Next.

Those plates wanna fall off so bad, ever heard of clamps? Nice lifts though.

Lol, thanks. I was just too lazy. The truth is I really didn't want to train heavy tonight, but more or less forced myself to.

You seem to have this fascination with Chris every time he posts a video. He didn't post this as an instructional video, so I really don't see what your problem is. If it is an interwebz beef well then that's a whole different set of mental problems.

it's not a fascination, I just cannot stand him and his ego lifts that he films and posts on multiple boards, his form sucks shit, and I just want to ensure that a novice lifter does not perform their lifts in the same shit manner and end up hurting themselves.

Damn! That's awesome.

Prince, I disagree with a lot of the points you are making. The deadlift form is unconventional but that doesn't mean it's wrong, I actually briefly read an article in Powerlifting USA on time talking about the 2 variations in form on the conventional deadlift, and there is no real proof that the way that Chris performs the exercise will lead to any more injuries. I will agree with one thing that you have said though, and that is that novice lifters should not be trying to lift like Chris.
