Building a Monster Upper Back

A huge and thick upper back is the hallmark of the alpha strength athlete. Only those with the fortitude and will to train with the requisite intensity will achieve the kind of upper back that literally intimidates and inspires awe in all who see it.

If you truly want the biggest and strongest back possible, it is necessary to combine the best of both the powerlifting and bodybuilding worlds!

That is ridiculous. I am very jealous.

I also noticed your stance is goofy compared to most--hands are very wide. How did you start deadlifting this way?

I actually don't think I normally stand that wide, normally I am narrower, but I guess today when I set my feet I was just a shade wider and my grip always varies where it ends up on the bar based on where my hands end up when I bring them down from over my head.

I can't say when I started, but I'm sure you could look at some other videos of me and I would be in a completely different position. If you look at spdcheese videos on youtube you can probably see that my deadlift stance varies from video to video (I can't right now I'm at work and they block youtube)

Sick pull man!

It's crazy to think that you are Jay's "little" brother. I met Jay in 2002 at the first meet I ever did which was an unsanctioned one run by Pastor Pete at your Church. He was a tiny little kid then and to think that his little bro is pulling ~700 now is freakin crazy!

I'm actually his older brother

My first meet was I think the church meet in 2005 when Gary and Jay convinced me to do it after I pulled 500 for the first time a couple days earlier.

Ended up pulling 510 in the meet, which was just about the last time I ever pulled a max effort lift sumo.

Either way, lol. Still, you are younger than me and a total beast! You got started later than him with lifting though right?
