100kg/220lb for 5 reps on a 1+ set on the program i attached

Deadlift stuck at 80Kg atm, tips to bring it up? I'm lifting for 6 months

>>35480842
eat moar?

275 lbs x3 here

got deadlift advice from kindly old gym owner

feels good man

If i pull with my hips high, my upper back rounds. If i want to pull, with a completely straight back, my deadlifts kinda look more like squats.

Wat do? Is upper back rounding even a problem?

>>35480853
Yeah could be, im 70kg and 1.90, 18 years old, already gained 10kg

>he needs a program for a 100kg deadlift

>>35480877

Oh jesus. Yeah, gaining weight is pretty much required with that combination.

Still might want to look at your form or programming though. That's relatively slow progress.

Finally was able to do 2 plates 5x5 with good form the other day after struggling with 185 the week before.

Have been bulking the last 3 weeks, most I ever have, which helped.

>>35480888
I've always stuck to programs written by those more knowledgeable than I, no reason not to

I just hit a 220kg/485lbs PR the other day. Pic related.

>>35480842
What programming do you follow?
How much do you sleep?
Do you eat enough calories?

>>35480874
How tall are you?

>>35480943
About 5'7. Medium Torso, Medium Legs, short arms.

>>35480943
>How much do you sleep?
Is sleep really that significant that a poor schedule can cause a plateau

It's absolutely necessary to deload if I don't use my hamstrings and glutes enough?

I started going to the gym around 3 months ago and my gym owner basically tells me what to do.
I do pretty much everything except deadlifts, some other guys do it too but I have no idea why he doesnt tell me to do them.
I want to do them so bad

>>35480966

Yes.

Sleep is recovery. Recovery determines how often and hard you can train. Lose enough of that and you're going nowhere.

>>35480401
I recently pulled my 1RM of 315 (I know it's baby weight but I've only been lifting seriously for 6-7 months) for 4 reps while hungover as shit.

I don't know if it was fluke, anger, still being drunk, or some beautiful combination of all of them, but I'm gonna go try for a new PR now.

We're all gonna make it f@m

>>35480979
Why don't you just tell the gym owner that you want to do your own routine and then you start with SS?

>>35480923
Nice, is trap bar easier?

>>35480989
because
its a pretty small gym so the routine kinda shifts, sometimes if the gym is pretty loaded I do shit like chest flies instead of benching cause the bench is taken and shit like that

>>35480923
Never tried the trap bar, but I'm mirin that 420 lb

>>35480995
From my understanding its just more legwork involved

>>35480995

Different guy, but hugely.

My max is about 480 conventional. Its about 540 with a trap bar. Probably be more if I actually trained with the trap bar.

>>35480986
Hmm, figured it was alright to just sleep from like 3am to 9am
>>35481021
Shiet, Now i wanna try trap bar

Deadlift is a meme that will injure your back and everyone using machines will laugh at your retardation when you can't make any gains without putting yourself in the hospital.

>>35480963

Short arms will definitely require you to either lean further forward or squat down deeper in the start position. The back of your delts must be in line with the bar in the start position so that the bar travels upwards in a straight line when you lift. Remember to put the bar over the balls of your feet. If you lean too far forward the bar will be pushed into your legs as you lift it and you'll struggle both to hold on to it and to get it over you knees. This often results in upper back rounding, because you need to give the bar more slack to avoid it being too far from your body and throwing you out of balance. Don't make this a habit, you'll strain your back at the expense of your glutes and hamstrings. Rather squat a bit more and ensure the bar travels in a straight line. It'll help you not snap your shit up.

>>35480966

Yeah, sleep can make a big difference if you have a really shitty sleep schedule. Apart from that, the difference between 6 hours and 10 hours of sleep doesn't really seem to make a difference for me.

Someone tell me he's kidding, right?

>>35481077
I took a couple months off of Deads cause my program didnt include it for FST-7
1rm before stopping - 100kg
4 or 5 reps 2 months after stopping DLs - 100kg

>can easily rep 140kgx8 conventional
>could barely budge it sumo

I just decided to try it today and it felt like shit. /fit/ told me it would be easier...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGoz9pzKvu8
>No grill will ever mire your deadlift that hard

>>35481257

/fit/ tends to be stupid about that sort of thing.

Sumo vs conventional strength tends to be structurally dependant on proportions and hip morphology. But its also dependent on your muscular development and, most importantly, your training history.

Even if you're built to pull sumo, you'll often lose some plates to start with while you fix weak points and dial in technique.

>>35480943
Foll>>35480894
I started with SS and now doing 3 day split. Will try to eat more, thanks

>>35480909
but why did you have to write it out so autisticly? just add 5kgs a week for a while as it will go up,

>>35481269
This is the dude that bombed out of several meets, got busted for pricing and developed a stalker like fixation with Isley

He never learns mang, never learns.

>>35481275
>>35481257
I can sumo more than I can conventional, simply because sumo feels more ccomfortable with the way i can fit my arms between my knees and the arms are parallel. its different for everybody

>>35481304
just the way the uploader formatted the excel file, i think the values aren't all changed the same. idk as long as i didnt have to go through the effort of writing up the file

>>35481328
pricing?

>>35481350
I meant doping, I suppose autocorrect doesn't know that one.

>>35481328
wtf is isley??

>>35481007
Sounds like the gym my brothers go to, but I doubt that you're from México f am, but you should do a routine that has consistency even if you need to search for another gym.

he's over 180cm and has benched between 115-130kg in the 93kg weight class the last four years. he's bulking up to 105kg and getting into equipped lifting and hopes to hit a 180kg shirted bench.

>>35481490

>90kg
8 years of training
Still only 130kg

>>35481518

Dude's built like an orang-utan. He can't bench for shit but he's a 700lb deadlifter.

>>35481522
well thats just fucked

Hit 230kg a few weeks ago, went for 235 and had a bit of a brain fart. Took a week or two off and hit 240kg. Pretty pleased.

Sumo or conventional?

>>35482035

Conventional.

I have a lot of trouble with the hip mobility needed for a good sumo position and I'm pretty much built for conventional anyway. Conv PR 220kg, semi-sumo PR 180kg, can't get into a good position for full sumo.

>>35480401

How can i substitute deadlifts?

I have severe scoliosis in my lower back, and deadlifting or squats is the best way to snap city. I really dont want a herniated disc.

Please tell me there is a way to substitute all those sweet heavy compound gains im missing out on

Why does everybody outside of /plg/ think I'm e-statting, I'm weak as fug.

1RM deadlift is 160 kg
My head always tend to rise faster than the bar so at half the rom my head is already a bit higher than the head position when you're normal standing. I tried to avoid this by looking down but it keeps going up.
Somebody got tips for this?

>>35482035
Whatever feels more natural for you

>>35482293
>Same height
>Only just lighter than me
>Deadlifting 180% of mine
>Calls self weak as fug

>>35482385

Compared to the best guys at his weight class, he kind of is. They're pulling up near 280-300kg.

Is that an unreasonable comparison to make for most lifters, even for most competing lifters? Shit yeah, but that's what tends to happen once you're involved with a sport.

>>35482385
Like one of those whores who call themselves ugly for compliments

>>35480943
I hit a 220 kg like 1 month ago, 4 days after a 190kg squat.
Shit thing is I'm pretty big but unless i flex I don't even look like I lift, or well, that's what it looks like to me.

>>35480401
How important is it to push knees out before pulling? It was pointed out to me that I don't do it as much as I should, so can I expect good improvements if I focus a lot on it next time?

>>35482485

Sumo or conventional?

Sumo? Pretty much vital.
Conventional? Doesn't effect much unless they're buckling in, which is really bad. Rare for that to happen though.

What do you guys think about Rippetoes Ultra high hip deadlift?

>>35482385
100 kg deadlift is piss weak tho and i'm not even bullying

>>35482529
I wish it were higher man, believe me
Fucked up diet for a while (just finished first year of training with no counted macros), only just getting it on track now

Hit 3pl8 recently, grip is holding me back though and I keep pussying out when it feels like my form is going but on the video after it was fine and the bar was moving easy

>>35482437
was my train of thought. I admit to having a much lower deadlift than him but shit man I've only got a year of training with shit diet. doesn't make it excusable, but its explainable

>>35482490
Conventional. Although my leverages are way better for sumo. I also have muh long femurs, so my torso is almost horizontal when I set up to pull. I don't know if that affects it somehow. I'm still pulling conventional for now though.
My knees used to buckle in sometimes, but it hasn't been a problem lately.

>>35482543
I had the same problems tho, try eating more and try using mixed grip if you are still using double overhand grip (mixed grip added like 20 kg to my deadlift). Also try using your hips and legs more (push quads in the ground while leaning back/pulling the bar to you a bit to help use your hamstrings)

>>35481146
>cutting at lmao2pl8!!!111!!1

>>35482588
Thanks for the advice, I think the eating more is really my main focus. I started tracking calories a few weeks ago before trying to meet any goals for them, to gauge how ive been eating the last year - somewhere around 400 calories below TDEE on a good day, mostly made of junk food and low protein. Its a mystery how I gained 10kg in the last year and a bit

i can pull 110kg if i mostly use my lowerback to pull (not driving from the ground) but i foresaw my death and now i can only pull like 85kg driving from legs

>>35482622
Fuark

>>35482600
>pull barely under lmao2plaet (90kg)
>started cutting today

I-I'm fucked aren't I?

Finally able to get back training deadlifts after fucking my shit.

>Rowing in high school gave me a strong back
>Never did leg shit, ended up with very weak hamstrings
>Start training deadlifts in college, don't realize that my back is way stronger than my hamstrings
>Struggling on the leg portion of deadlifts while my back is easily pulling weight
>One day I'm pushing deadlifts past 2pl8 for the first time
>One shaky ass rep and I can tell I've done something wrong
>Fucked my hip joint and hamstring
>No leg related lifts whatsoever for a month

Finally getting back on it but I've had to basically restart my squat and deadlift.

>>35482659
Haven't squatted regularly in like 5 or 6 months
I miss it man
Fucking knee grinding is keeping me away from it but its gradually going away so I should be able to start skwaaats again

>>35481007
Sounds like a really bad idea, tbqh.
Bench press is a more important exercise than flies, if the bench is taken ask if you can work in or wait until it's free

Are you guys dropping your hips low or doing what Rippetoe suggests? I do pretty high hips, and you?

>>35482731

hips high makes me feel like im not using my legs enough.. it fatigues my lower back to an uncomfortable degree

>>35482683
Good luck man.

Look into mobility exercises with bands for joint distraction. Shit like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV7u6UxWgXk

I started doing these kind of stretches for my hip after I fucked it. Not only did it help my recovery but it helped some hip impingement issues I was having before.

>>35482645
Answer me one question:
Cutting down to what? Bones?

>>35482752
WIll look into the link in a moment, although most joint mobiliity exercises are even worse for hinge joints due to their natural range of motion

I'm also extremely sceptical about the fact that its a crossfit mobility video since they prize injuries like trophies. Thanks for the advice and the good luck btw man

>>35482806
The crossfit video was the first thing that came up for what I searched. I figured it would get some reaction but I didn't care enough to look for another video.

Here's a non crossfit video of the hip stretch I was using.

>Isley Deadlifting 700lbs
Lmao no
His PR is 287.5kg

>>35483048
70 pounds difference isnt terrible for rounding. Although I guess 600lb wouldve been more accurate if you had to round

>>35480401
102 kg for 5 reps with SS
going to pull 107 for 5 today
probably don't need programming tips since it's still baby weight

>>35483053
True, just to clarify, the only 700lb puller on /fit/ is Norsefat, Bodorio is pretty close too

>>35482996
Don't make your own program. Just cause you can lift doesn't mean you know how to write programs
Thats like saying a kid who does their homework can automatically be a teacher
Follow a program written by someone who knows their shit

>>35483072
This

For those of you who are strong deadlifters, what do you guys say contributed the most to your success?

>>35483150
4 years of sports in highschool. deadlift went from 315x5 to 445x3 in about a year

>>35483150
Don't be scared of the weight.

>>35480874
tight hamstrings. get that shit loose with slow warmup at one pl8

Old PR, but I'll post anyway
260kg 3x5, Which led to a 310kg 1RM at my meet

>>35480401
Because of christmas i went 3 weeks without working out, longest pause i've had.

Anyone got any tips to ease back into working out without snapping my shit?

DL is 460@6'1" 180

Thinking about starting George Leeman's deadlifting program on Wednesday, as I need a once a week deadlifting program. Current 1RM is 545 with belt + chalk, goal is 650 by end of 2016.

Deadlift is shit and will only make your physique look shit by widening your core.

>>35483482
Mag/Ort?

>>35483577
But you won't look like an skinny 'shredded' fuckboi tho

>>35483680
It's what women want you fucking autist.

If you think that a wide core is attractive, then you are delusional.

>>35483701
>lifting for women
You don't become full fridgemode because you deadlift , you will have a nice and tight core of it if you don't have 15% + bf. My gf loves it and the manbutt that comes with deadlifting.
InB4 fatty i'm only 75 kg

>>35483701
If you lift for bitches and not for yourself, you're the fuckwit whos gonna end up saying "oh yeah I used to look like you but then I got a wife so there wasnt any point any more"

>>35483725
this, lifting for women is such a dumb motivation/reason to lift

>>35483722
>>35483725
There is no point in lifting if it's not to attract the opposite sex.
There is no need to be strong in this day amd age, and being aesthetic will get you further in life than being an average or fat slob.

>>35483744
So you're saying once you got a gf/wife you will stop lifting?
I keep lifting because i enjoy it and want to be strong as fug while looking good + it makes me more confident because i started from skeleton mode.
Having confidence will get you much further in life than muh shredded abs and muh big biceps

>>35483787
I will stay aesthetic for as long as I can, I will be an aesthetic old man.
You can have a spouse and still want to be aesthetic.

>>35483744
>>35483787
Also if you're good at deadlifting and not higher than 15% bf you're not average nor a fat slob

>>35483803
You'll have an unaesthetic wide core though

>>35483826
being fat give you an unaesthetic wide core

>>35483150
I follow Candito's routine which is squat dominant.
Squat barely progressed but DL exploded

>>35483150
Don't be afraid to use mixed grip instead of double overhand grip and get really good at the technique

>>35480401
Just broke 500lbs the other day, feels good, came up real easy to, almost considered doing 510lbs

Starting cutting now on PPL, would 4x5, 1x5+, be "too much"? Gonna run ppl about 4-5 times a week.

>>35483744
>No point in lifting other than attracting the other sex
hmm idk maybe that thing. fuck me i cant remember the name... someone help me out here? oh nevermind - self respect
>>35483744
>No need to be strong in this day and age
Also no need to play sports or have friends
Its just kind of optimal. Who the fuck runs their life out of necessity?
>>35483796
Why stay aesthetic if theres no point other than sex appeal?

> 120kg squat x3
> 100kgs deads x 5

I've progressed to 110kg diddylifts but my grip becomes a major limiting factor so I dropped to 100kg and tried to work my way up from there, but it's still a hit and miss no matter if i'm trying to lift 95kg, 100kgs or 110kgs....

I've been alternating from low bar to high bar squats around the 100kg mark and it's been a steady progress, but my deads been stagnate since like 98kgs.

I've looked into Thrall's tip on doing RDL's beforehand to load my hamstrings and trying to keep my shoulders pinched and pulled back throughout, but it's been about a month since I've been to the gym cause of holidays, so any other tips to progress on muh deadlifts?

hit a big dl session today. 2x1 at 300, then 3x3 at 285 and 6x3 at 215. smoked. my dl routine is as follows

week 1: 4x5 80%, 6x3 60%
week 2: 2x1@ 90%, 3x3 @85%, 6x3@65%
week 3: 6x3@70%
week 4 hit a max

I've got no problem at the beginning of a rep, but during the second half when I lower the bar it stops because my knees get in the way. Is there anyway around this? I typically just arch my back enough to get the bar over my knees but that shit hurts.

>>35484681

Any good deadlift programs worth trying?

I did 170kgx5 this week. The last time I tried a max I got 200kg.

>>35482645
why the fuck would you cut. you're not gonna look like those skinny muscular men you see online or in magazines. your muscles need development, then you can be the twinkfaggot you've always wanted to be

>>35485533
what are you currently doing?

>>35485542
I deadlift once a week, but it's fairly ad hoc. 3 to 6 sets of 2-5 reps at whatever feels manageable.

>>35485309
Which grip are you using? I suggest doing mixed grip instead of double overhand for your working sets

RDLs have helped my grip and my deadlift overall. I do them with relatively light weight and 8-10 reps -- good practice for holding on to the bar.

i did 100kg recently but everytime i pull the bar my back round even with lighter weight

>>35486201
Practice keeping your upper back tight, pulling your lats back and down. You might need to build strength in your lats to maintain good form

pulled my previous PR of 465 for a double the other day. Took about a month to pass it up. Getting closer and closer to the big 5 hundo.

What stretches should I be doing before my diddleys? I have pretty tight back and hamstrings which causes my back to go round when I try to get my ass down.

Also, what straps to use? I've seen those short things with "flaps" in some vids, are they any good?

PR is abit over lmao5plaet at 85 kg BW if that matters.

>>35482499
Depends on people's leverages. Some DL better with hips lower, others are better with hips higher. There's no one right way to do it, the basics are mainly the same for everyone but the fine details like hip position will be a little different for everyone.

I have an odd question on this topic

For the last couple of days I've had an aching forearm. It seems to be subsiding so tomorrow I should be able to work out, and it's my pull day. I do an over/under grip for DL, and I'm wondering whether to use my weak arm underhand or overhand? Which way puts most stress on the forearm?

Obviously when I get to the gym I can just try it with both on a low weight and figure it out, but I've been pondering it today and I'm curious for any insight.

experienced the same when I switched from hook grip to double overhand grip

dropped from 1x5 132.5 to 1x5 120 kg DL and my form looks like shit, I might have to go even further down

meanwhile my squat is at 3x5 110 kg

I switched grip because having strong hands and forearms is more important to me than loading more weight

I could put on straps and keep going up

>>35486323
dont stretch before lifting, that's lifting 101

stretch afterwards

Sumo deadlifting.
I am 173 cm tall, 5'8" for u americans
I have never been able to do a full ROM conventional deadlift, so for my first year of lifting I just did RDLs. This is caused by a variety of factors:
I've played a fair amounts of sports in my life, however, whenever I didn't play sports I would often sit still in school/ or at home playing computer games. This has resulted in me being a bit inflexible
I have shorts arms
Biomechanics? It also feels way more natural for me to have a wider squat stance

Is it perfectly acceptable for me to do Sumo deadlifts? My "deadlifts" have never been higher, I can do full ROM, and it feels perfectly natural to me. People usually say that sumo is for taller people so that they can get their legs out of their way, but I'm not exactly tall.
Note:
It is at the current time *impossible* for me to get down in the proper starting position for a conventional deadlift.

Hoping for 630 at my meet coming up

Hook grip is fucking killing me though

>>35480401
When I start to push above 4 plates i starts to feel like my lower spine just above my ass crack is being pulled apart. My form is good (had buddy watch) and I wear a belt. What do?

Im thinking I need more core strength before I push higher?

>>35486994
Don't ever fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.

For aesthetics, 5x5 or 3x10?

>>35487111

Need stronger grip; double overhand won't make it through 3x8 at 225lbs
I have a set of pinch blocks and a 200lb grip trainer; anything more I can do to improve grip strength?
>inb4 gloves, yeah they'll make it easier to hold the weight, but they don't fix the problem of weak grip

Poor hamstring flexibility means I have to bend my knees more to reach the bottom.
Am I incorporating too much quad as a result?
I do deadlifts as a back/hamstring exercise and consider it part of back day

>>35489890
Hasn't happened yet. I think going without a belt helps keep the weight down, and I always stop before my form goes to shit. PL isn't my focus right now, so I do just enough not to lose technique and keep being productive

>>35480995
I prefer the trap bar. The problem I have with barbell deadlift is that no matter how perfect the form is, there's always that split second where your lower back is being used as the hinge. I've had lower back injury and it's terrible.

With the trap bar, because the weight is off to the sides, the weight transfers to your legs during the initial lift and then your upper back at the top. Much easier on the lower back/sciatic nerve.

I'm pretty young, and I eat and sleep a lot. I've also been training for a while so i'm used to it. I dunno, Jesse Norris and George Leeman are both way stronger than me, and they pull AMRAP deads. I guess if it's good enough for them 2x a week, I should be able to accommodate it at least once.

I'm at a loss because my recovery time is so fuckin slow I can't get the most out of my workouts because my muscles are so fatigued.

I'm taking rest days like 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off so heaps of rest, I'm clean bulking at the moment, and I get enough sleep.

Any help would be much appreciated.

>>35490078
height/weight/calories per day?

>>35490078
Modulate your shit a little better guy. Plenty of people can manage whole-body workouts four times a week, it's a matter of keeping intensity reasonably low and not going absolutely nuts on volume.

>>35480401
hit 375 for a 1RM on new year's eve
my problem is being relatively weak off the floor, so I'm trying to do paused work and deficits at a relatively lighter weight

what else should I look into?

>>35490091
5 foot 2, 127 lb at the moment (I'm a female)
I havent been counting them so much as weighing out grams of fat etc but approx 2250-2500

>>35490172
Hm that seems like enough food, unless you're doing keto type shit. Make sure you're getting enough carbs. Beyond that, maybe cycle light, medium, and heavy days so that you're only hitting a heavy day once or twice a week.

>>35490154
Deficits are good, maybe explosive deads at a lighter weight?

>>35490154
Those are my top two tbqh, and other than that I'd say just hit your posterior chain hard with higher rep stuff like RDLs and hypers. Big-ass erectors won't hurt you.

>>35490215
This. Pauses off the floor are also good

>>35490154
Technique is always relevant to look at. Also if you keep a straight upper back/don't let your shoulders fall forward you'll almost certainly always have a hard time getting it off the floor and have an easy lockout.

>>35490203
I'm not doing keto shit haha
Yeah I think I might try splitting it up into upper/lower body days again to some extent, which I havent done in a while but I think that might help

My girlfriend is deadlifting twice a week. She's stalled at 5x3 270#. Any idea how to change the programming. Her diet is on point.

>>35490406
Something that's actual programming instead of linear progression. Texas method with some volume deadlifting, Hepburn is a little (very) rough without a caloric surplus but works well, even 5/3/1 is simple as fuck but if there's one lift it works well for it's the deadlift. Can't personally speak for Mag-Ort but it's a little more volume and looks fun on paper.

I herniated a disc diddling. How long till I can go heavy

If I plan on adding RDL or deficit to my Pull day, what would be optimal, replace something or add it before or after my DL sets? Worried my Pull day is going to get too long since I was thinking of putting in something for forearms

Are you gonna hate me if I tell you its from a reddit user?
Check his posts, http://www.reddit.com/user/2_suns
He also did a TDEE spreadsheet. His spreadsheets are fucking sexy

>>35493939
He wrote it in pounds, if you use kg, convert all the numbers to kg, change the button increments to 2.5 and find and all rounding formulas change to 2.5 instead of 5

How to you get stronger with Deadlifts ?
I'm stuck at 130kg and I can't do 5 reps with that weight.
But when I try 140 or 150kg, I can't even get it off the ground.

And I'm 85kg. Is 130kg good for a guy of my wieght.

>>35495384

Do you touch-and-go on your deadlifts?

>>35480923
>Trap bar
>Even lifting
pick one

>>35495395
Yes

>>35495427

There's your problem.

>>35495427
Yeah man you needa full release the load back onto the ground to get the same hamstring activation that comes from taking it off the floor

>>35495433
So I should reduce the weight and add some without touching the floor when I deadlift ?

>>35495473

If your problem is getting the weight off the damn floor from a dead start, you should be pulling all your reps off the floor from a dead start.

Feel like I'm getting to a 4pl8 DL springtime.
Feels real good, man.

>>35493961
No, you're more than likely rounding your back.

If you feel RDL's in your lower back instead of intensely in your hamstrings, then you are definitely rounding your back.

Keep a neutral spine during your deadlifts, and duting RDL's try and maintain an arch in your back so that you get a big stretch in your hamstrings, you will feel it like crazy if you maintain that arch.

>>35492611
Oh you'll know, you will DEFINITELY know, there will be no mistaking it.

Power Cleaning once per week. Lets me recover from deadlifting while still training a floor pull, plus it made me way more explosive and that made it easier to deadlift since I'm covering the same ROM in less time.

>>35482731
>>35482499

Hip height is entirely based on body proportions. It doesn't matter at all, as long as you are not doing a SLDL. If you try to pull with low hips when your body really wants to pull with high hips, you will just raise the hips high before the bar gets off the floor. So don't worry about it.

>>35482622

Your lower back literally cannot pull the bar. Stop worrying, as long as your back is neutral you are fine.

>>35482035

Conventional for training, narrow sumo for 1RM attempts. Wide sumo if you are a try-hard.

>>35481276

>3 day split

Go back to SS.

>>35480978

There's no "not using hams and glutes enough". They are literally the muscles that do the movement. If you are doing the complete movement, you are using them enough. Lift heavier.

>>35480842

SS and eat more.

I've been progressing linearly at 15 lb and then down to 10 lb every time I diddy. Been setting new pr's every time for weeks. I'm currently at 1x5 @ 315. As the the bar got heavy I starting taking more time between reps, wiping the sweat off the bar, adjusting grip, etc. because I've found my grip strength isn't keeping up. My form is ok. Is it bad that I'm not doing touch and go and more or less going 5x 1rm?

>>35497656

It's fine, you don't need to rush the set. As long as you are lifting heavy, your body will adapt and get stronger.

For a while iv been getting this lower back pain, i put it down to my deadlifts, ive had people look at my form for ages now and everyone says that the form is spot on, im doing 175kg at 80kg bodyweight.
So im sitting in my sofa and i get up, theres the pain again for fuck sake, i look a the sofa and the friggin springs have broken, my posture on the sofa has been causing the pain all along...for all the head scratching, days off the gym, having self doubt in my form, its the friggin sofa thats causing it....

>>35497656
Use chalk and mixed grip, also keep doimg them from a deadstop, touch and go is much easier.

>>35497782

I know that feel, my bed was causing me hip pain. It was awful, some days I had to skip deadlifts altogether.

Thankfully I bought a new mattress and the pain is now gone.

havent maxed in a few months been working on lockout strength.

Hit 295 kg last time, 300kg pulled me way out of position so i put it back down. A little more lock out strength and i should be getting close to 700

Pulled beltless 200 kg recently after squats, probably had more in me as it wasn't a struggle.

Also did 160 kg on snatch dls without straps.

BW: 82 kg

>>35497594

if you fuck up your lumbar region or anywhere in your hips, a slipped disk or even a herniation of a nerve could send the pain radiating downwards

>aka sciatic nerve

I can no longer hold the bar with a double hand grip. Problem is, after the last couple of times i've pulled with alternating grip my lower back has been hurting. Anyone else have this problem when they made the switch to alternating grip? How'd you solve it?

>>35503169
Do you powerlift?
If the answer is no, use straps just remember to do some grip work in other places

If yes, make sure you can do either way with a mixed grip. and see if one way hurts less then the other.

>>35503016
thats impressive grip strength
but use a belt, if you want to pull more weight.
It is a tool not a crutch

>>35503169
When I started using mixed grip it felt unnatural the first few times, then I got used to it. Might be that you're pulling in a slightly different way since you aren't used to another kind of grip. Consider hook grip if it continues to hurt.

Just started DLing a few weeks ago, I'm at 255. Grip seems to be the limiting factor for me. What do?
