Does dead lift have any relationship with how much you weigh i am 5.8" and weigh close to 175lbs and i am 48 years old my deadlift is 400lbs. Will work on improving it but slowly not as elusive as i used to be.
205, 5 months ago before my neck herniation problem flared up.
My goal is to get 225 or more by dec 1st.
Having this setback, I can now comfortably DL 160 without hurting or straining my neck. So if I want that goal by end of year...that would be an increase of 14lbs monthly to get there. Now on paper it looks doable lol but then i tried adding 10 lbs on saturday and yeah lol that didnt go so well!
My goals with weight lifting are hypertrophy and strength gains. I keep a journal on here....if any of u have any ideas to how to safely and effectively reach my goal ...I would appreciate it.
Sucks because over the weekend, I tried to go for 165, but my left hand kept slipping. I really don't want to use straps as i go up in weight.
Now someone showed me 5/3/1 and how there are "cycles" to maxing out and strength gains but can I follow 5/3/1 only for deadlifts? TIA for any advice u may have.
Meet lifts, 220 raw 710 10/14, single ply 755 3/14, 242 raw 683 11/13, single ply 744 09/14. Appears stronger @ 220 but missed 727 raw close call with soft knees and 777 single ply lockout @242. These are my over 50 age best.
