I hope that sign in the back is true...
It's the Avishek deadlift, but he did it with a depth drop as well.
Haha, actually I didn't see a depth drop. I've thought of that too but since I wanted to train more specifically I decided to let the function of the depth drop be achieved through a one step run in, similar to a running vertical jump, except with slightly less horizontal velocity to enable me to grab on to the bar and plant my feet properly to lift up the weight using muscles in a manner very specific to a running vertical jump - in order to do this with a LR plant for instance, I may start my penultimate step facing 0 degrees relative to the end of the barbell, but face 45 degrees to the left, so negative 45 degrees upon planting my feet. As I lift the weight, I will rotate the barbell with a negative angular velocity, i.e. the bar will rotate counter clockwise until it has been displaced approximately -30 degrees. I may also be facing more to the left, as I naturally would during an LR plant vertical jump, where I rotate counter clockwise a bit.
The rotation stuff isn't necessary, as some do not RV with a rotation. So using a simple drop step is fine but coming in horizontally helps to train the conversion of momentum from the horizontal to the vertical. I'm actually planning on starting my runinng vertical jump deadlifts again soon, but i do lunges so often that I'm not sure if it's necessary.
