So is that 6-8 reps per leg? ie 12-16 reps total?

BTW, you do them till your knee touches the ground right? 275 is awesome

Thanks dude.

Yea I go until my knee touches, sometimes i hit my knee too hard on the ground, other times I barely dont touch the ground, its kinda hard to do it perfect every rep with that much weight. A lot of core work involved too.

Yes 12-16 reps total. 6-8 each leg.

Comments: Went awesome, for whatever reason I knew I was going to get 445 as my max. I need to work on strength off the floor because that was the hardest part on 445, and where I stopped on 455. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 500 here I come

So happy about getting 445x1! possibly could have gotten more without the 405x1, 425x1, etc. I was going to do a set with 385 but felt too tired. My back rounded a lot but I didn't really care I just wanted the weight up. And yes, that is a paper towel taped over my left bleeding shin But I dropped a weight there, it wasn't from deadlifting lol

i thought you couldnt put more than 375 on?

nice deads anyway

no offence but your deadlift form kinda sucks and your not locking out the reps, these wouldnt pass in any sort of competition.

this is exactly how I do them too

sick job bro. Also, im willing to bet if you used better form you could deadlift more than 445.

Yeah but if you look back at the last page I posted in bold how someone brought in 2 new 45's! I was so happy lol! Anyway to be honest I had never lifted more than 380 and so yes my form was shit, same with the 315 video. But the only rep I see that wasn't a full lockout was the 385 rep. If you pause the other reps at the top they sure look like full lockout to me. Perhaps I will video up another day with better form.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

just arch your back more thats it. dont worry about all the other shit like locking out simultaneously, thats bullshit. just make sure your lower back is not rounded. were all different shapes and sizes so were gonna deadlift different

1x6x45's

Comments: Split Jerk went well, too a video too Tried out some power cleans and I am starting to figure out he form, the reason it was so hard before is because I was doing this weird swinging out motion. Once I figured out it was just a high pull with a catch it was much easier. CGBP went bad, I struggled and struggled with the 6th rep second set but then dropped it on my chest, I could barely breath lol! Then on top of that I dropped a plate on my heel right after that! So I ended my workout there, as Andalite says I wasn't "in the groove." Did some reverse db flies and curls and headed home.
