Today I received a video from a student in his 4<\/span>th<\/sup> week of this training cycle. He is (very) young physical educator and instructor at a gym chain in S\u00e3o Paulo. Nice deadlift. Pads under the bar to \u201cprotect\u201d the floor from the 400 something pound impact. So I remembered the conversation I had with one of the program directors:<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They liked the deadlift again<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Good! Thank you!<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You don\u2019t understand: they really enjoyed it. They are young, they are boys, they are producing hormones like hell, there\u2019s testosterone dripping from their ears and their strength increase curve is pretty steep<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ah \u2013ha ha ha..<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You\u2019re laughing now, but years ago I told the manager to get a proper platform for them and they didn\u2019t. In two months the kids managed to make two symmetrical holes on the floor<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh\u2026<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, \u201coh\u201d. There is nothing to prevent their strength increase. That\u2019s nature.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Huh\u2026 can they use pads under the disks\u2026?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You\u2019re kidding, right? Do you think pads will make any difference on the impact of over 200lb over less than a square inch of unprotected floor? It\u2019s like a very strong hammer. C\u2019mon, it costs them less than $500.00 to make a platform and over $2000.00 or more to fix the floor.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh\u2026<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well: my conscience is in peace. I warned them. There will be two symmetrical holes in every branch the kids decide to practice the deadlift. In one year, I will have a couple of athletes and you will have a bunch of holes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
