I managed a 1rm of 355lbs today, but my grip was failing so I bought some straps. I also managed a full set at 315. So there's that.

How the fuck do you progress on deadlift? I'm absolutely garbage at it I can bench lmao2pl8 for 5 reps paused and struggle lifting 2.5pl8 DL for 5
Colton Cruz
6'1 160 - deadlifted - 1 set of 12 - 140lb
I'm eating all I can
Luis Turner
Sorry m8... But why are you not locking the pl8s together like they are designed for? Do you enjoy looking like a toddler who can't figure out a simple 2pc puzzle?
Brandon Lewis
that's absolutely not what they're designed for, those little canyons are there so you can grip them when you need to pull weight off from the bar
Benjamin Parker
Add weight. Whatever you did for 5 last week, add 5 lbs. That's +2% weight. You should have no problem doing that for a while.
Asher Reyes
Obviously I have been adding weight, I know what progressive overload is. It's just not working an no matter how much I deload or what I try, nothing ever changes
Cameron Martinez
Sound mental. You're telling me that you can do 275*5, but not 280*5?
Cameron Murphy
Could care less about the 6mm gap between pl8s m8
Levi Richardson
stop speaking like a fucking weirdo
Asher Foster
Yes? What sort of logic is that? You could just go to infinity with that thought process, there's a line somewhere
Easton Foster
I'm Aussie, you faggot. That's how we speak
Matthew Johnson
do you do much hypertrophy work on deadlifts? it helps break through plateaus if you add it in I find
I've lifted on and off for about 6 years. When I fall off I fall off hard, like not lift for a year and gain 40lbs. I just did that, except I still went rock climbing a few times a week. Started lifting again a month ago. My maxes on legs are higher than they've been since I tore my ACL in college for some reason and I'm fucking stoked. It's like i had a mental block for 5 years. >OHP: 135 x 1 (got it tonight, right before I left) >bench: 225 x 3 >squat: 295 x 1 >diddly: 365 x 2 Feels so fucking good to be moving decent weight. I've also lost 9lbs in January.
I personally make the best progress doing no more than 10 reps. Right now i do 5x2 working my way up ~45 lbs at a time to a 2 rep max once per week. Getting a strong squat helps a lot to break through a diddy plateau.
Brayden Thompson
Yes, there's a line somewhere. And that line is not at 2.5 pl8. So your problem is mental, and a Swahili hunting moot isn't going to fix that. Quit being a bitch and lift 280.
Liam Jenkins
Did 3x3 365 lbs behind the back deadlifts today, doing them for the second time ever, feels amazing. Decided to add these and jefferesons to my training after watching Bugenhagen, need to hit 4 pl8s conventional asap for reps.
Jack Cruz
I prefer it, with the straight bar I'm always hitting my knees and I feel as though I round my shoulders off, I dont get any if those problems with the trap bar
Thanks brah. Just got to my GFs and had a big ass bowl of homemade chicken miso soup and a backrub. We are all gonna make it. Next week I'm getting my 3pl8 squat.
Fuck! Nice work, user! Big lift and great form. I'm only pushing 160kg for 3x5 atm, but I'm working on it. No worries, will give that a shot, and will flip the bar next time for larger rom. Cheers!
Tfw no gf to make me homemade soups and backrubs.
Positive vibes all the way mate. I think positive mentality is key to success! We are gonna make it, user. Keep up the good work!
Jack Nguyen
Larger ROM feels better anyway user, you'll get it.
And it's not all sunshine and roses, the GF was actually crying when I arrived due to budget and grad school stress. I've got to be a rock and a provider for her, so lifting and rock climbing is the outlet for my stress so i can calm her when she needs me. >tfw need broader shoulders to carry her feels and mine The soup is delicious though, some miso with chicken does wonders.
Ian Russell
lad, you did trap bar dl 220kg the bar has mass assuming that bizarro trap bar weighs the standard 20 might be 15 because of that missing part
Charles James
>lowbar Nah nice form user. Next time post it so we can actually see the weight though.
Daniel Gutierrez
Nobody counts the weight on the bar though, do they?
Josiah Powell
My feet are fucked up and deformed, hasnt interrupted my squat but deadlift always fucking sucked dick until i tried the trap bar and it literally changed everything for me. No shame in my game because i found a way to make gains
David Phillips
You have reached the end of NLP, it’s time to start introducing volume. Look into Barbell Medicine if you’ve been doing something like starting strength or stronglifts so far.
