This is the starting QB- Tyler Jones at summer weight lifting tourney.

That is a Jefferson Squat. It is a lot different than a regular deadlift. The Jefferson Squat allows your body to start perpendicular to the floor making it easier to keep a flat back and it enables you to get up more weight due to a person's center of mass being directly over the bar. A lot of people fail on the regular deadlift because they can't straighten their back at the peak of the rep because they have to lift more weight with their back when trying to stand tall and their center of mass moves in front of the actual weight needing to be lifted. I wasn't sure if the first plate on the bar was a 100 lb. cast iron or a 45 lb. bumper because they are similar in thickness. If it was a cast iron he got up 485 or if it was a bumper it was around 375, either way he made it look pretty easy because the veins in his head and neck haven't popped out yet...lol
