Good Mornings Weights

[IrishPower]

i wish my deadlift was 750! before i blew my discs 2 yrs ago, i hit 735. i actually hit 735 while blowing discs simultaneously.

i estimate that i am around a 700 now. last i pulled in my gym i did 665 easily with a bent to shit bar like 8 weeks ago. i have been doing good mornings 70% of the time now. i just did 515 + 160 lbs of chain yesterday with my deadlift stance.

you need to keep in mind that i do these heavy good mornings suspended from a chain. full good mornings are cool too, but i always do rep work with these and obviously cant go as heavy. most i've done lately with a full good morning is like 405 / 10 or something lighter with some bands.

i will film my next GM workout.

Irish,

would love to see your GM workout, im sure im missing something when i do mine as its a totaly unnatural feeling waht with the bar slipping around on me and bar position.

Look forward to seeing your post with the link (loved the last squat one)

Irish Power- great point about training the weaknesses. Fr somereason I feel I get more carryover into my eadlifts from arched back goodmornings.

I'll be making sure to hit my weaker stances/variations in the near future.

My squat with no suit is over 700 just dont know how much.

Irish power we did suspended good Ams in chains and love it. Do you like these better then regular good mronings? We were definintly lower then 42 inches i am way down when i grab the bar. SO we were definintly flat out at the bottom. But shouod we vary were we have them suspended too, or same each week? I am new to this really. Only recently have a gave a rats ass about my deadlift. Need for a total. Unfortunnaly!

Do you do regular pulls? If so how often?

My good morning abilty is very good, but then I have a great build for good mornings, better for deadlifts, and not quite as good to squat. That being said:

Good mornings 675x3
Squat 720
Dead 775

For the record, my bench sucks: 440

Damn!! Creeping on that 2,000 total!


Great deadlift!!

 

[Arioch]

Well, my deadlift success is based on being clever enough to pick the right parents. I pulled triple bodyweight the first time I ever deadlifted, although this was in a much lower weight class.

800 will go this year. If I do not have time to compete over the summer, as it looks like I am going to be travelling more than I thought, I will be at Daytona in Dec.

The main reason for competing is because I was injured, bad, and spent so long (8 years, basically) recovering. My goal is to beat every previous lift by five pounds, and I will be happy. The squat and dead are progressing well, but my bench is, well, my bench. This is the only lift I am concerned about, as some days my shoulder does not bother me, and others I can not push a damn thing.

And at my age, creeping is about the best I can manage, thanks, though.

Creeping along with a 1900+ total. not bad creeping Arioch.

Back to the topic at hand. I have about a 600 ish squat, and have GM'd in the mid 400's. I think the relationship of your GM to your squat or deadlift have a lot to do with your body type.

I deadlifted 2 days ago, narrowly missed a PR sumo stance, and then attempted to do this same weight traditional, and could not even reach the bar while wearing a Z-suit that is one size too big. ( I can put it on by myself) So I myself can GM more than I can deadlift. But then I look like Fred Flintstone, and have a tough time getting down to the bar. So everyone is differerent.

arioch, you pulled 3x bw your first time pulling. WOW. Most people can try their entire lives and not even get it. What weight did you pull and how much did you weight when u did it? Very impressive total too.

Hey Arioch, quit bad-mouthing yourself you damn sandbagger (LOL!). The way you talk about your lifting sometimes makes us believe that you are an average lifter. Far from it! Must be nice to be just shy of a 2,000 lb. total. I am very impressed with your knowledge and now very impressed with your lifting ability. Get that 2,000 lb. total old man then you can retire to the easy life (LOL!). The easy life being: torturing the lifters you train. Keep at it and let us know when that 2,000 falls. Good luck!
