Did 20 reps with 315; first sets deadlift!

Damn that felt good! I felt like I just ran for my life when done and almost past out I was soo dizzy.

Going heavy on deads is much easier. I just wanted a hell yeah burn this moning!

[Rogue Warrior]

Thanks! And this was after a two week break. That must have really helped.

Were you close to puking?

 

[zackdarnell]

Those high-rep deads are killer.

 

[Rogue Warrior]

No puking. I had a Balance Bar and a big cup of joe and a Metabolife pill about an hour prior. If you want to call ephedra cheating OK because i'm sure it helped.

Nice deads. I always found high reppers to be
a real bitch, myself...especially when dealing
with very heavy compound moves (BB rows,
deadlifts, squats, leg presses).

Even one of my favorites, dips, get really bizarrely intense
as you approach White Buffalo territory...say you
weigh about what I do, an entirely too fat 223 w/
a 35" waist. I could probably do about 35 reps with my bodyweight since I've done 90 lbs. for a handful of paused,
VERY slow negative reps. (KIM, I've only done one mass
cycle, okay? LOL.) Doing 10 reps is a warm-up.

Anyhow, assume I strap 25 lbs. around my waist and
shoot for somewhere around 20 reps. The last
few would be next to impossible nearing lockout.
And once I failed, trying to do a negative would be
a total waste of energy...I'd just fucking DROP.

That, to me, defines an effective exercise. When you
reach positive failure, you're so exhausted that attempting
a negative would just see the weight smashing right
back down.

Anyhow, are you doing the deads regular or SL? At
my best, I was able to SLDL 340 for about 5, pausing
at mid-shin level for two seconds/rep Not all that
great, but I was proud of it at the time, especially
considering that I'd only done that exercise for about
two months.

These are regular deads. Up off the floor till I stand erect on every rep. I drop the weight on my last rep to alarm all the lame ass cable cross over punks in my gym I can be such a dick at times! Hehe.

I did not roll my shoulders back on all my reps because my grip sucks and I want to exhaust the big muscles before my grip give out. The hardest part of the exercise is your first and last rep off the floor.
