Stop deadlifting for a month, then build up again in 3 weeks and you will start PR'ing....

Where are deadlifts done in your workout? Early, middle, late?

chaos · « **Reply #5 on:** October 15, 2011, 11:15:48 AM »

Alternate rack pulls, cleans, deads, 2-3 weeks cycles.

What's your 1rm?

Do deficit deads and do good mornings. Seated and standing. Lots and lots of good mornings. Do glute-ham raises for hams.

Lower the reps. No more than 4 reps in any phase.

a month off

Basic advice - speed speed speed. Good mornings. Simples

work on getting your squat up and don't deadlift for 6 weeks. you will PR the day you return to it.

Tapeworm · « **Reply #15 on:** October 15, 2011, 05:38:20 PM »

You're a recreational lifter. Don't max, especially DL. That's fucking madness.

That was my first though, something like a the old Bill Starr program were he had you Squat and accessory work, and then reintroduced the deadlift after a couple of months.

Where are you struggling with? getting it off the actual ground or locking it out? cause squats will improve the bottom phase and i like heavy dumbell rows for building up my grip to hold the bar seems to work well.

Van bilerass has it. Assistance lifts. But more than that re-do the entire program. Reps no more than 3. Add a speed day (yes, similar to westside) add bands and chains when appropriate. Keep rest no shorter than 3mins and no longer than 4, 5 at the very most. Power comes from the posterior chain (ham, glutes low back) doesn't matter what your current "back" routine is. Keep hip flexors strong.

cephissus · « **Reply #19 on:** October 15, 2011, 08:02:07 PM »

How does hip flexor strength relate to deadlifting?

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #20 on:** October 15, 2011, 08:08:38 PM »

Think triple extension.

cephissus · « **Reply #21 on:** October 15, 2011, 08:34:22 PM »

i don't get it. in a deadlift you start flexed and then extend? do hip flexors play a role in extension as well as flexion?

TacoBell · « **Reply #22 on:** October 15, 2011, 08:40:40 PM »

Lift more weight.
