Agreed. Usually descent is more controlled. The negative rep build strength and is good for muscle growth.
Maybe becose i was trying to get max reps i rushed the reps.

If your basic goal is to get stronger in the deadlift, this is pretty damn good.
I understand the deeper rep when trying to improve the bottom part of the lift.
BUT, in my opinion, this can lead to INJURY of the law back /hamstring pulls in a hurry.

Far better to do regular deads off the floor ,maybe 3 work sets of 5 smooth reps.
THEN, alternate workout days with heavy partial deads from the lower  knees in the power rack.

Howard why do you say that deficit deadlifts will lead to lower back/hammy injury, more so than regular deads?

I've thought deficits cause you to keep tighter form?

am i the only one here who thinks that he needs to improve his hip mobility or just remove the plates from underneath him? His lower back is not in a neutral position which makes him more succeptible to an injury. Especially moving that much weight.

Was thinking of incorporating the rdl's and will do a couple of sets. You where talking about rdl's when mentioning power rack work?
The deficits might be more risky if rounding the back. That is why i do all heavyer sets with a belt.
Deficits helped with moving my deadlift numbers up.

I'd say if you've not done a lot of barbell rows lately - give them a go.

I don't mean strict ones.. I mean as heavy as you can go.

I'm finding that strengthening up that aspect has really had a positive effect.  I remember reading a fella talk about finishing reps by just "rowing them up" and I didn't really understand that until I had done a fair bit of rowing and noticed the extra power at that particularly point of the lift.

I'm no strength elite, but I'm good for 6 plates and I guess that would be up there, for this board at least.

Thank you. And that is exactly the movement i neglected in the last couple of months.
I used to do them regularly. And agreed the row is very important for deadlift.
And your six plates is close enough for elite.
Any advice on getting more out of my hamstrings?
Taking account i squat the deadlift.
More isolation like glute/ham rise or compound movement like rdl's?

No idea, to be honest - Any suggestion I make other than the row would be total speculation.  It's the only thing I've noticed that has really helped me (other than just deadlifting)

Don’t rush the reps especially with decent weights on the bar - Avoid Injury,
Quality reps - Protect & look after your Spine & Back.

Thank you. Yes power clean and strict press. And i do atleast some sets with the bar on days i don't do the press from the floor.
I have been doing this for a couple of years now.
The technique is satisfactory considering that im not a weightlifter.
I know back in the day the clean and press was the thing that brouth together bodybuilders, powerlifters and weightlifters and they trained side by side.
When the press was escluded from the olympics it was the start of these athletes training in there respetictive groups.
If anybody have more info about that period be free to correct me.  :)

It shows that some of us on here can communicate intelligently with one an other
Without resorting to Stupidity like trying to derail thread or abusing one & other
Just for the sake of doing that.

Also I’ve used and had good results doing power cleans & Hang Cleans
Might be worth a try.

For most lifters, the common "sticking point" on dead lifts is the upper knee cap area.
Doing smooth rep deads from pins set at that ht in a power rack are the best way to increase wt.

The problem I see with deficit extended range deads is the position of the low back, sacrum and upper hams.
In my observation, you're in a position that causes too much torque/strain on the areas mentioned above.

My mobility and flexibillty needs work. Especially my back.
That is why after this last deadlift workout this week.
Going to swich to snach grip and rdl's below the knee. As regular deadlift from pins and box variation didnt do much for me.

I always got the most out of my deadlift from only pulling 1-2x a month.  Pulling heavy every week was just too taxing, it wore the rest of my workouts down.  This way I was able to squat/good morning every 4 days or so, and as those lifts got stronger, my deadlift would too. 

The only other tip I could give would be to warm-up with light glute bridges (no homo), like with no more than 10kg.  Even no weight would work, you're just trying to kinda "activate" the glutes, not train them.  If you struggle to incorporate your glutes into the lift, this will help a lot.  I notice a 10% difference between squat/deadlift workouts where I start off with that, and ones where I dont.

I tried the less is more on deadlift. In similar form and it didnt work out.
I do all kind of activation exer. Lats, middle back, low back, glutes, hips.
It helped no doubt. How do you do it weighted? The glute bridge. With weight plate on the abs?
Will try this weighted version you suggested.
Thanks for the info. :)

Whoops sorry didnt see this til now!

I just place a plate or dumbbell right on my hip crease.  Kinda like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/yqwoa29.jpg)

You'll see people really loading the weight up on this with barbells but that's not what you need to do.  You just kinda wanna really squeeze the glutes at the top of your movement, just to kind of "wake" them up.  Works for me.

Was thinking about that. And i used it before. Good thing to overload the strict press with a couple of aditional reps.

What do you think of pausing the reps at lockout?
At least on lighter sets?
Slow negative reps in general?
Had some shoulder inpigment issues in the past.
Will those techniques make wear and tear on the delts?
As of now i do the press once per week on a seperate day.
Usually power clean and press.

Never confront him regarding a Quarter Pounder and you'll be fine Vlad Tepes!

Most people avoid them but....I actually do behind the standing behind the neck presses and military presses for warm ups, I find it really stretches my shoulders.

Whoops sorry didnt see this til now!

I just place a plate or dumbbell right on my hip crease.  Kinda like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/yqwoa29.jpg)

You'll see people really loading the weight up on this with barbells but that's not what you need to do.  You just kinda wanna really squeeze the glutes at the top of your movement, just to kind of "wake" them up.  Works for me.

Actually tried with a plate this two last squat workouts.
Works better this way as opposed with no weight.  :)
Thanks for advises. ;D

Work on mobility so you get your elbows pointing forward more and you rest the bar more on chest/shoulders. Push yourself forward, the way you are doing it is more of a mix between bench press and shoulder press, putting a lot of stress on lower back.

Lots of different people pressing here but you can see the general idea:

Your asessment is on point. Working on spinal and thoracic aerea of my back.
I was seeing the elbows drifting too way back.
Some sets is better some not so.
Tried to flare my lats before pressing to create a "shelf".
Heard about this recently. Just not sure how to do it properly.
Flare and back. Or flare and make them push my elbows more up.

No lockout, bar swings off your body and your body torques to the left, you're gonna hurt yourself.

Why quarter rep squats ??

The chap the other side of you was at least getting decent depth on his squats
Regardless of the weight.

My sticking point is parallel and a bit higher. I don't fail in the hole. The camera angle is deciving a bit. The depth aside from first rep is the hip crease below the knee cap.
My quads are pretty big so this is also why it looked higher.
Also the pins where too high so was worried i hit them.
Usually i go deeper no worries.

Compared to the other Man squatting they were quarter reps
Oh & I’ve competed & won National Powerlifting Championships
I know exactly what’s a high Squat & a below parallel squat.

Good luck with them if they work for you.

Get rid of those stupid shoes, get some solid heeled or flat soled shoes. Again, your body is twisting, you have a weak midsection, strengthen it up.

Try front squats, your core strength and posture has to be on spot for them.

This is a nice front squat video from Martins Licis:

Agreed. Seriously was thinking how much not doing front squats for a while made overhead pressing dificult as i lost some flexibillty in my wrists and lats. And that made it harder to put the bar on my front shoulders and keep the elbows up in the starting position.
Btw seen that video. Thank you for input and links anyways.  :)
Concerning that vid the coach could of given more tips.  8)

Deload seemed to help with body twisting. Also incorporated back the front squat.  ;D
