Deadlift: A PR Story

[sk*]

So my deads had staled for a while and I dropped them and started doing only SLDL's for about a month.

Today I went there and set a 20lbs PR, and then added another 20lbs and set another PR. So 40lbs total.

The old guys there (he's a PT) that had said my deads weren't perfect the last time he had seen me, stood there and watched me pull the new weight and said my form was perfect.

Not gonna say my numbers yet, but when I hit 5plates i'll put up a video for everyone (which might take some time).

Nice, very nice...Same thing here.
I stayed at 310lb for so very long, then I just gave up and thought this doesn't work. I decided to drop everything with tha name straps and gloves. Went on with more squats and SLDL for about 5 weeks. Then mostly for fun, I decided to try it out again. First did 4 reps with no probs at 310lb, went for 2 reps at 330 and thought wtf. 2 reps at 352lb and I needed someone to slap me, I was all exide so I put on another 24lb, 374lb for 9reps.
From 308lb to 374lb in 5 weeks without even doing one rep of deads, that is what I call improvement.

The body NEEEEEEDDDDSSS change, rest and more change and rest. With only deads SLDL will lack, so If I were u i would pick either SLDL or Deads to do each week for 5 weeks That will make both lower back + backlegs to get what it needs + the recovery. 'Right now I'm at 395lb at 6reps and next time trying for 410lb. Next goal during this cycle is 450lb for 6reps. Evvery 3:d week I do 2 sets of 10reps, then 1 set of 20reps.
