Title: Deadlift ?
Post by: Lugar on January 23, 2007, 09:51:10 AM
When incorporating deads weekly, would it be best to use a higher rep range for 4 sets (8-10) one week rather than constantly going heav and overtraining or would rack pulls from shin level be a better solution?

yes.  change it up every workout. Start with them ond day, end with them another. Start with rack deads one day, end with rack deads another. Then one day don't do deads at all, do heavy T-bars and Barbell rows instead.  things like that.   :)

sure thats a good one. I'd do that and probaby not do a workout like that again for probably 3+months. (in that exact order i mean)  :)

Please take this the right way, but I am puzzled at your rack dead poundages. Compared with your other weights it appears a little light, yet it appears to be the right weight for you as your reps are dying off as the sets go on.

What are you feeling the most on these, and what is limiting your reps.

In theory your rack deads should be heavier than your deads which should be way heavier than the rest of your upper back moves.

Just puzzled.
