good job man. how long did the deads alone take?
Title: Re: Great back session new deadlift poundage reached
Post by: mesmorph78 on August 22, 2006, 05:44:38 PM
the deads took about 15- 20 mins...
i was trainin with my brothers.. so it was just soon as one is finished the other jumps on.. also taking into consideration.. loading the plates...
Title: Re: Great back session new deadlift poundage reached
Post by: Jr. Yates on August 22, 2006, 05:48:16 PM
Thats where 100lbs plates come in handy.
Title: Re: Great back session new deadlift poundage reached
Post by: mesmorph78 on August 22, 2006, 05:52:04 PM
yep... this gym doesnt have any of those.. which suprising.. as it is very hardcore.....
actually what would have come in handy would be that steel tool coleman and jonnie jackson used in their videos to lift the bar so the could load the plates on

Great strength..You are where I want to be. I'm stuck at 455.

I want to break the 500 by the end of summer.

Is best to go real heavy every time you do deads?
Title: Re: Great back session new deadlift poundage reached
Post by: mesmorph78 on August 22, 2006, 07:37:37 PM
I dont max out every single time i dead.. but i go heavy all the time...... also.. as i got better at deads..and squats.. i started doing them every other week...instead... of every week...

very impressive 8)

Post by: Overload on August 23, 2006, 06:36:48 AM
Very good numbers!

i'd bet you can pull 585 if you cut out a few sets and reps...very strong lifts.

Meso is a motherfcker.

He'll be pulling 600 by the end of the year IMO.

Why not try going light with the deads every third workout Meso?

Week 1 Light
Week 2 Medium
Week 3 Go for a 3RM
repeat.

@overlord
i think 585 is a bit out of my limits for now... when i pulled the 550 i could feel it on my spine hard.. im sure u know how it feels when u max out on a heavy weight the first time.... its like ur whole body compacts i think i def have a lil way to go before i pull that... im 5'11 ..aint really ideally built for deads....
maybe sometime next year

@hedge.. 600 by the end of the year... naw....
but . u made an interesting point.. about light weeks.. when i first used to train with my then mentor... he used to do one week light ..and the other week heavy... i used to hate light week.. becase one i like liftin heavy..and 2 the way we used to do light days.. it was actually harder than heavy days.... so i may infact  give your suggestion some thought like maybe
135 for 30
225 for 20
315 for 15
405 for 10

Lemme give you a suggestion:

Light week:

Warmup set: 135 for 10-20
Acclimation set: 2-3 reps @ 225
Work set: 335 for 4-6 reps, 4 sets.

Moderate week:
Warmup: same as wk 1
Acclimation set 1: 2-3 reps @ 225
Accl set 2: 1-2 reps @ 315
Working sets: 445 lbs for 5 reps. 3-4 sets.

Heavy week:
Warmup and acclimation same as moderate week. Do an acclimation lift, one rep, with 405 lbs if you feel like it.

Then do three heavy triples, each one being heavier than the previous. Perhaps starting off with approx 465 lbs?

Don't change the weights in the Light and moderate weeks. But try to go higher every third week when doing the heavy week.

Once you're 50-60 lbs stronger you can up the weights used in the light and medium workout IMO.
