Other than the interesting facial expression, this picture demonstrates a teaching point for DL technique.
First, 1RM attempts are supposed to look like shit. If your form is perfect... it wasn't heavy enough. Plus, the back and knee angle in the DL are best observed from the side. So, the camera angle is suboptimal.
Having said that, look at the knee angle of the 2 lifters. They are basically the same.
Bryan appears to have completed knee extension before the bar has risen to or above the level of his knee. Which means hip extension is all he has left to complete the lift. in other words, this is the infamous "Stripper Deadlift".
Contrast with the lifter to the rear left side of frame. He has knee extension complete at a point where the bar is slightly above the knee. A far more efficient lift.

The lifter/animal in the back is the famous Matt Stowers. Pulling hard.

This is the best picture ever!!!

If anyone is interested in a Buddy Lee Speed Rope, let me know & it's yours for $30! I bought one with an extra rope, used it during a couple of classes and have decided it's not for me. I know peeps who love that rope, but my DU's are better with the AF wire rope. I used one of the ropes, but the extra rope is still in its packaging & the handles are basically brand new since they were only used 3-4 times. I hate for it to sit around if anyone else can use it & $30 is a steal for a brand new one if you're wanting to try it. I'll prob list it on ebay cause I know it'll sell there, so if you want it shoot me an email at [email protected]

And Bryan, bring those feet in, keep the stance to hip width and less unless your doing a sumo! This looks like a sumo/conventional hybrid with a wide grip.

Lower back was screaming at me after round 1, or should I say "going Bryan" on me. :)

Correction: No PR, just checked my log and my PR is 19:14 at Warehouse #1 on 10/26/09. Run was on pavement and I can't remember whether or not we did anchored situps; don't have the notes.

21:53 4 second PR. I don't think I was doing the back ext. correctly last time since I don't remember not being able to walk on my way to the ab-mat previously.

23:13 (PR). Had to abandon this WOD last time we did it (~Nov 2011), back too fried to run by round 3. David Mc was smooth pace the whole way in our 1630 class
