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.

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.

Modified, using 2x 9,5 kg DB:

--

10 sets of 14 single-leg dumbbell deadlifts, alternating legs each set.

--

Did 50 more reps of standard DB deadlifts in the end, for good measure.

310 - 310 - 310 - 322 - 322 - 335 - 335


310 is maxing out what I have for weights in the home gym. I got creative this time and strapped a DB to get to 322 and a 25lb DB plate to get to 335. Not ideal on the 25lb because it hung lower than the barbell so the weight didnt kick in until a few inches off the ground. And hit first on the way down. Interesting feeling...


6/29/21 - 310 for all 7 sets.

Globo scale: as rxed. Most gyms should have a bar and plates to do this. If noise is an issue put down mats under the plates and lower the bar under control. If you are at Planet Fitness or a hotel gym either load the Smith Machine (I know), or do dumbbell deadlifts, or dumbbell single leg deadlifts if more proficient. If you max the dumbbells do AMRAP sets with good form.


Equipmentless sub: find a heavy object and deadlift it. Bed deadlifts, tire flips, lift a heavy stone, try to lift your car, ect. Barring that do strict pullups and lots of supermans. Also throw in some hard short sprints if you need a CNS shock, the hillier the better. 100m tops.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

While I don't think it would be the "main decision" today, I think it's good to decide whether or not you want grip to play a factor. Double overhand grip will obviously be more challenging (and less weight) than alternating. Also, touch-and-go with alternating would be more difficult than allowing for a reset/regrip at the bottom (maybe saying you have 30 seconds to complete 3 lifts, or something like that). As long as you know your purpose for doing the lifts, there's not a "right" way to do it... except with your freaking spine staying rigid and unchanged!


WORKOUT THEMES

A high output with a long recovery in between efforts; squatting with very heavy weight, extra emphasis on midline


MAIN DECISION

Do I go for a 3 rep max, or do I go for 7 heavy sets but not necessarily set a record?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Same format, lots more reps each set


CONSISTENCY SCALE

A little less rest than usual. Maybe look at what you did last time and try to hit the same numbers, just with 1/3 less rest. Or just make sure you're still breathing a little bit heavy when you start your next set.


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a short sprint or burpee set before each deadlift set.


INJURY SCALE

Lower-body - AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 20-sec hip extension hold, 10 toes to bar, 10 ring rows


MY STUFF

We are debuting our Star Wars Theme Workout this Saturday, so I tested that one our today with Mr. Bennis. Hylo Ten and X-Wing Flyer stations were rough; I still need to figure out the Han(d)s Solo station.

Very good tutorial. I have seen others where the coach uses a pvc pipe to show the vertical part of the bar. Others referring to the need to start the movement with the legs keeping the back on the same angle and then start changing the angle of the back when the bar passes the knees.

This tutorial takes away all the coordination and thinking process from the above options and makes it simple.

Thank you very much for this tips.

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.
