Elastic bands tied to the bar and bottom of the rack would offer active resistance. Just a tought, probably not so easy to find suitable ones.
You dont round your back at all, unlike in Zercher deads. Would setting the bar lower be more realistic as well as making the exercise harder?
MORE WEIGHT!!
Nice BB. Very nice. Now make it so that you can pick on someone in your weight class rather than a skinny ass emo kid.
are you suggesting that skinny emo kids are undeserving of the slampage?

Far from it. They're good for some light de-loadin' work, or rehab work if you're comin' off an injury, but not really for serious trainin'....
Well, I don't train seriously, I'm just a recreational / hobbyist / enthusiast... so me running into anything over lean emo kid weight will probably knock me on my ass.
The only way I've come up with potentially adding weight is to put a concrete filled pvc 3 or 4 inch pipe in the middle of the rolled up mat. I'll try it. Hopefully the dynamic element of the movement will still remain intact.
As it stands, Brad's movement is a strength and power one, and my variation is a conditioning and speed one.
