You really must post some pic of your hamstrings man, I bet they are so big so they drop to the ground when you do not flex them.

Ben do me a massive favour and write me out a deadlift routine for next week, and a bench routine. I 1 rep max on 100kg, but I had a spotter, I will be training alone.

 

[Lifeforce]

PRetty darn good deadlifts solid. 125 at your weight is almost the double!

 

[S0LID]

I have only been deadlifting for about 4 weeks, another 3, and I'm sure I'll be at 150kg. It jus feels so comfortable performing deadlifts. I'm sure if ben can give me a few routines I'll be a serious power house deadlifting 3-4 weeks as well I hope I can get squating easily at 90-100kg. I need to get that squat stronger than my 100kg bench!
