Anyone ever tried 20 rep deadlifts with 300+ lbs

[louden_swain]

I have also performed 20 reps on stiff legged deads and I had to make a run to the curb. . .this was the night I lost vision in one eye and nearly fainted.

I am loaded up on so much food and water at the moment, so there is no way I would try something like that for a while.

I've deadlifted 140kg x 20 reps and RDL (romanian deadlift)
142.5 x 15 reps.
Max was 230kg at the time and I wasn't used to doing more than 5 reps per set.

Ok so you had 500 deadlift, and only did 300 x 20

I am having doubts that I can pull out 335 x 20..... maybe i should lower it to 315 or less lol

revex...

I vote you go for the single bro. Its more important

I also believe that lower reps are better. . . the spinal erectors love low reps.

I rarely go above 5 reps myself. I will occasionally do a higher rep workout just for a change. But it's VERY rare....

Ok when I'll go to the gym,a nd Ill flip a 25 pound plate. If its the smooth side, im doing 1 rep max, If its the other im doing 20 reps

Got any advice about 20's? Do I go all out or do I pace myself (reset, breath and pull again)

If I were going to be doing it, I would do 20 singles with a quick pace. Let go, reset, and pull again.
