I got my first three bodyweight dead lifts (153 lbs) yesterday.  My form remained solid during the lifts.  No hip pop or butt wink.  I just focused on keeping my upper body tight, elbows forward, and chest up.

I can't believe this has become a "Dear IZ, I need workout advice" thread.

Notice it's not a "Dear IZ, how do I grow 3" taller?" thread...

Do you have some sort of auto search program that picks up every time someone talks about you?

Getting back to the behind-the-back-clappers push-ups.

I've been trying daily for a week but can't do any yet!      

My triceps and lats are getting in the way.  Gotta keep stretching I guess?! 

The best I was ever able to get was 8.   

But that was several years ago.  Right now I could probably only do 2 or 3.   


edit:  Oh and when I first started trying to do them back in high school, I worked my way up to them by doing pushups and slapping my hips.  It got me used to the motion and gave me a good indication of when I was able to start clapping behind my back.  Give it a try.   

you silly masochists!
