Deadlift Challenge

[rev210]

I upped a guys PB by 20kg in 5 minutes by raising his hips up

He'd been deadlifting 190kg for nearly a year, 5 minutes later it was 210kg

He was trying to squat the weight up

Check out Martins vid, he pulls 281kg@79kg

Deadlifts are a back exercise

you are right. I thought he was talking about too high vs normal. My vids are on the bit too high side to work my back more , I remember going a lower when going for heavy lifts but, still not squat level. At least that's what I remember doing been a long time. I'm not ready to go real heavy again yet.

Didn't someone do 25?

Added grumbles now, was looking forward to actually pushing it with the squats, 20 still had heaps of room left for more. Got a full 10 out the other day at 72.5 with room so wanted to increase that too. Guess I'll be doing this contest who-knows-when the shoulder is better.

Husky doesn't count because superstar.. lol.

He is a seasoned lifter so he has excluded himself.

[JEPPE]

Nawwwwww how nice of him to let us little lifters have a shot I'll try and beat him anyway!

There are no losers in a deadlift challenge.

Except Troy once I smash his 14.

Cheers Nick, are you gonna have a crack at it?

[NickR33]

I was... but I'm in the middle of a program for GPC states and TTT scared me by telling me not to hurt myself... I should've done it today when I trained...

I won't win anyway, I HATE deadlifts for reps... anything over 5 sucks balls lol

[dezz]

Anything over 0 reps on deads/squats is too much these days. Pretty sure my body is broken, quite depressing

He just scared you so that so he can beat you and make sure he controls the next challenge....

I don't think it's the reps over 5 you 'hate' , so much as the rest in between sets that your oldman-itis 'likes'. After all , add those 5 rep sets up and you may as well just keep going for 15-20 in a row? ha ha.... just do it and compete . It's more win!

Bit of a noob question...is it normal to have pain after deadlifts? I usually only get it after doing sets of high weight or 1RMing, so it's related to heavy exertion...and it disappears after about 15-20 minutes. I can't tell if it's muscles aching or joints, so am a tad concerned. Have always had it, since doing deadlifts. I ask my friend if he feels the same after deadlifts and he refers to a tightness in his back muscles...but I'm not sure if we're talking the same thing, cause this makes leaning over the basin to wash hands at the end of a session quite painful.

I have had back issues in the past due to bad posture at work, so get cautious when it comes to back pains. And no other exercise gives me that feeling in the area being worked.

[Mangune]

Pain whilst washing hands cant be good, are you a regular at the chiro?

[markos]

I started a DL challenge over on my forum, 2.5 x bw for men and double bodyweight for women

Nina went first and managed 120kg x 10@58kg

I'll get a few of the guys to do some next week, mind you, Zoran, Spiros, Rocky, Mick and Max cant get close, only Martin would beat her 10 at 2.5 x bw (men)

[NickR33]

88kg x 2.5 = 220kg... my current DL PR is 220kg lol

dezz: have you had any time off? and I don't mean a deload, I mean a week or two completely away from a gym... sitting on a beach is preferable

Is it Normal? No.

Is it normal for me? Yes..

Don't be too worried mate.

I'd say you probably didn't hold as tight for one rep or perhaps hyperextended a little at the top on a couple of reps.

When you get a chance, lay on your back and bring your knees up until your whole back (including lower back) is flat on the floor.

lay like that for 5 minutes so it all settles.

nights sleep and you'll be fine.

This is also the reason I don't like lots of reps.

you get tired and sloppy.

I've got one more week of 12 reps and then down to 7 weeks of 5 reps, then 2 weeks of 3s, then 1 week of doubles, then it's time to Beat Nick!
