Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Becoming a supple leopard

It's not because some guy in Crossfit said it - it's because if you look at most knee injuries (same as yes, back injuries in the case of the beloved deadlift) - they happen (ACL tears more specifically) when knee valgus is involved. Same with bent backs in the deadlifts. It's just regular physics, body structure and logic. Try to fight these in the argument you're making.

You can say whatever you want to say but "efficient" is not the same as "good for safety and muscle building purposes". Maybe if you want to lift the most possible weight and win in your category as a WEIGHTLIFTER (not as an athlete that uses weightlifting to build muscle for his athletic endeavors) then yeah, you can go overboard with "efficient" and "unsafe" technique.

Would a guy trying to win his powerlifting event risk pulling with a bent back on a deadlift his final attempt? You bet he would. Would he be smart to try to do that continuously every day he trains? I don't think so.

Same here. Yes they will go to their max and allow the knees to cave in if that means winning the competition etc.

And no, just because 200 kg is their 60% 1RM is NOT easy for them. It's still very hard, even as a low % of their 1RM. It still might bring up some issues they have in maintaining proper form, even as elite as they are.

Yeah but you're taking extreme examples of maximal lifts and making them look like they're picture perfect. That's like taking my max deadlift attempt and say "look at this guy: he deadlifts his max with his back bent so therefore a bent back should be the proper form".

They get their knees in because they aren't able to keep them out due to going to their max. If they were able then they'd either lift more or not be at their max.

Both me and Nightfly trained with bobsledders and I remember they were doing some 20 rep sets.

I think a more correct term would be "torsion" strength... that twisting of the entire leg generates better proprioception/tension. Remember sickening vendetta?

Yeah, and the dumbbell variation is so much better than the barbell variation for this exercise.
