how much weight can you pull for 10 good reps? if you even go that high in reps
also, how often do you pull?
-
I've done 500 for 10.
It varies, but generally once a week. You can see the frequency in the training thread on the Y......just don't post there.
-
very impressive
-
I've done 500 for 8.
Then usually 545 for 6-8.

Edited to not answer the question.

500 for 10 is impressive... 500 for 3 was my best from the floor
ive never went past 8 reps on deads, just doesnt feel like a higher rep movement to me...
-
I'm still recovering but 500 for 8 still happens. Deads add mass, don't care what any little drug abusers say. 8)

i love deadlifting, shame my hamstrings dont,, ive chucked them for good, tore both hamies on separate occasions..... i do feel weaker/feebler for not doing them tho... traps/upperback/shoulder girdle definitely missing out
ive added dumbell squats to my leg routine and thats starting to help a little
-
a decent powerlifter from my old gym tore a lat during his 2nd pull attempt at a meet some years back
here's a Texas badass by the name of Doug Young pulling right through his broken ribs which he broke during a squat attempt
fucking diesel badass is he 8)
-
If he did indeed have broken ribs thats massiveley impressive.
It hurts to even raise your voice with broken ribs.
-
I've switched to the trap bar for the time being. I'm not in competition, and the movement feels better.

Yeah I am a little guy and my best pull is 245kg at 67.5kg. I'm pretty much all traps, rear delts and lats lol

what's your bench ;D
-
Normally I would say just do rack pulls but I think you DJ would benefit from deads.

trap bar is an excellent movement, i class it more of a quad movement tho, with a bit trap/ upper back chucked into the mix

Does anyone else find it easier if you don't set the weight on the floor between reps? What's that called, I forget?

puts too much strain on the low back IMO

romanian deadlift?... i find them much harder, impossible to handle the same weight

easier than slamming of my platform? hell no... easier than starting each rep from a static lift? yes...
i like to do my initial sets that way using a sumo stance... then i finish of with some low rep sets using a classic stance and bank a few at the end (i built the platform so might as well use it)... my neighbors dont complain because they're good peeps...
-
i think the positive thing about starting from static is you can make sure your back is set in perfect position, but i also credit this to hamstring tears
-
Yes, that's it... Starting from static over and over is much harder for me. Any good techniques for gaining strength at the bottom of the movement?
-
If it's easier to not reset on each rep then your legs are the weak point in your deadlift. If it's easier to reset and pull from a dead stop then your back is the weaker one out of the two. This is the same relationship as being stronger off the floor vs being stronger in the lock out. I have experienced both versions in my training. I have had periods when anything I could budge off the floor would come up. Then I had training cycles where I would get stuck just below the knees.
-

nope, standing on a 4-6 inch platform is the best method for that, as it increases the range of motion, but be damn sure and keep your form tight if you there platform deads

that's one method, you can also use dumbbell deadlifts from just over the toes (you have to get your whole body lower and it focuses on the hip-hinge part of the motion)... you can also deadlift in a rack with the safety bars set above the barbell at the knee level... this will isolate the bottom part of the movement

Platform/deficit deads never really helped me, though I never did them consistently for any period of time. Setting the pins in the cage and lifting up to them helped explosiveness but noisy as hell. I think cleans actually also helped quite a bit.
Good luck!

i agree about the noise... but found value in the movement
cleans should be part of any training routine IMO regardless of goals...
-
cool, thanks guis!!!
