its ok to be confident mate,I'd even venture to suggest that having confidence can be the difference between getting out of the hole and getting stapled.
I don't mind that sort of mentality in a powerlifting setting.
I dont quite approach it the same way however got to appreciate the characters.
Maybe you just follow a little toooo closely looking for weakness lol.
Anyhoo nice chatting..cya.
Thanks i actually do that sort of assistance but more based on how it feels rather than any scientific analysis lol,I'm glad I've sorta got it right to a certain extent.
Fully agree on finding ways that individualise and maximise.but I would qualify that statement to also say that some of us either train too hard or too soft.I'm in both categories lol so sometimes a cookie cutter routine is good just to realign.
I am over 93 at the moment so the reason why I asked about speed,is that I'm wondering whether to introduce plyo stuff like standing jumps and short sprints to eke some more gains.I have around 6 weeks.
Oops, had to delete what I wrote. I misread your numbers. I thought you said 30 reps of 90% of 1RM,....I missed the "in 30 minutes" bit. So what exactly does it mean when you say you're genetically gifted in the deadlift Oni? I mean is your deadlift weight way beyond what it should be, or is it way beyond the other two lifts, namely the back squats and bench press? I was never super strong off the floor, I think the max I ever clean pulled for few reps was 175kg (when my best C&J was at 160kg). So I'm curious about the strength of your deadlift. Thank you.
Fadi.
I suck at bench and squats so it's nice to have good deadlift to even it up a little
@0ni ; it took you 5+ months to go from 250kg to 255kg, whats the plan to get to 270kg+ by the end of the year? Specialised Deadlifting program?
I had really bad knots in my muscles and mobility issues. They say that fixing these issues can give you a performance increase of up to 10%! Well I definitely got that out of my squat! I have some pectoral, lat and trap knotting still to completely fix but at least my legs are good now. I've been doing a lot of higher reps on the deadlift. I started with 5x8 then 5x5 deficits and just moved up to 5x5 then 5x3 then finally singles. At the moment locking out a deadlift hurts because of my trap knotting and daily massaging is needed on it lol. I have a meet on August 3rd and my second attempt is planned for 260kg. Then I'll have a full 16 week prep, 8 of these weeks I will not be going heavy at all, lots of reps to keep me healthy
I am doing 247.5kg on deadlifts today. I'll see if I can get a good video. They are looking very strong recently!
Ok. How did you identify the knotting? Pain or lumps etc?? And besides massaging, what else can you do to fix it? I suspect my adductors/groin are prone to some sort of tightness and I reckon it impacts my squat.
No being happy with current performances is what drives me to be better.
If people have inflated opinions of their shitty lifts, good for them.
I have pretty shit totals ATM ;
Bench - 105
Squat - 120
Dead - 165 {which I'm not sure I could hit ATM)..
They are all going up though, but deadlifts haven't been as impressive as the others... Which used to be the opposite when I first started.
Interesting to read all these opinions. My goal is to hit a 200kg dead by the new year.
If I don't get there, I've only improved.
I'm 6'¹" and 83kg at the moment.. Always had chicken legs but my squatting (post surgery) has never been better so hoping it all ties in together,.
Anyways... Deads today.. See how I go.
edit - heres what i did .. thoughts?
barbell deadlift
20kg x10 -muscle memory training / skills
70kg x5 -muscle memory training / skills
90 x5
110 x5
130 x5
140 x5
150 x2
all lifts felt good. 150 is equal to the most ive deadlifted in a while. the 165 was from a couple years back to be honest.
doing a split like this once a week recommended? with moving up 2.5/5kg a fortnight and test and reassess?
He has a desk job. Can't outsmart the desk job lurchWhy are his arms in such an exaggerated externally rotated position? He must have forgot to roll out his rotator cuff and stretch his chest.
Try more volume man, get at least 5 working sets in a week
