Been a long time since I last checked the comments. So glad I did. Where else would I find a spirited conversation on the deadlift? This made my day.

I try this movement but if you don't do it properly, it can ruin your back.

245-315-365-385-405-425-445 (1rep no belt plus 1 rep with belt. No rest between the two except to put the belt on) lumbar curve went slightly at this weight. No warmup or breakfast today except 8oz apple juice. Focused on maximum bar speed at 245 and 315 since they felt light.




last time 275-305-335-365-395-405-415 also without a warmup.

335 is not a pr, but is the most I’ve done for 3 reps in at least 8 years.

Hotel gym, dumbbells only to 50. So instead:

5 rounds of

20 dumbbell weighted lunges, 35lb DBs

20 inclined sit-ups ~40deg

Anyone reading this lacking the benefit of proper coaching should be aware that you can tie your back into knots doing it wrong by being forward onto your toes. That happened to me until a coach said "stay on your heals". Fixed, instantly. Now I'm happily at 2x bodyweight, and it feels easy. All those deadlifts in the open were a breeze.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Short and heavy. High output followed by long rest. Squatting with an emphasis on pushing and an extra demand on the midline. Stamina plays a major factor in strength.


ASSUMED

3 reps of a deadlift can give us a potent dose


MAIN DECISION

Keep track of a 3-rep max, or use today for practicing?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Same format, more reps each set. 10+


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Same format, but do a 30-sec. hold at the bottom of the deadlift with an empty bar for each set. Do as many sets as needed.


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a short sprint or burpee set before each lifting set


MY STUFF

315 on each set


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3

Commented on: The Deadlift

This is a great article. I love the deadlift and I think most athletes disregard it as amateur or unremarkable compared to the clean or snatch. I like how the article highlights the importance of the deadlift for everyone not just athletes. However, the athlete in the starting position picture is not the way you start the deadlift. His hips are way too low and his thighs are almost horizontal! The deadlift is a hip hinge movement, not a squat like movement. Mark Riptoe's Starting Strength is an excellent place to start if your considering any type of classic lifting.


Thanks,


David

Some people call the deadlift dangerous. Think those people will ever need to pick something up off the ground? It's dangerous NOT to train the deadlift.
