not warmup sets its progressive sets but it depends on what your goals are when it comes to deadlifts to whether or not you would go that way.

3x8-12 at the same weight doesnt seem progressive?

what goals would said workout be towards?

no 3x8 isnt progressive at all.....i ment if your setting 3x8 @ 100k thats where you would start off

so say if you are doing sets of 8 @ 100kg (max) then you would start at a precentage of that or even at max and do progressive increase

so start @ 1x 100kg add 2.5kg or 5kg or 10kg and continue with 1 rep. Obviously form is cruical here to increase 1RM and continue till failure so would be like this

1x100

1x110

1x120

1x130

1x135

1x140

1x142.5 (so max 1RM)

1x145 but fail

Then next week you would say start at 130kg and do it all over again

====

8 - 12 reps would would be heading into hypertrophy (building size) tho you would want to do 4sets

7x2 is also again different to both the above which is why it really depends on what you want to achieve

Why not both?

90 x 10

110 x 10

140 x 7

155 x 4

Had no grip issues tonight, cooler weather = no sweat. Next sesh: 160 for reps.

Argh, been sick for the last two weeks and my gym loves to close for holidays any chance it gets. Gave this a shot tonight, though:

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

140kg x 7

160kg x 3

I'd like to see 4-5 of 160kg next session, before stepping up the weight again. I probably had it in me tonight, but it would have been bad form by the end of it and, with my mate pinching a nerve last week during his deadlifts, I'm rather obsessive about maintaining form. Very happy with my progress though; can't be too far off a 200kg 1RM.

How is everyone else going with their deads? Or do we need to rename this the Birds deadlift thread?

nothing wrong with training higher rep ranges periodically... this was the first real week of programming leading up to Nationals so we are doing sets of 10

warmups to 120 then

140 x 10

140 x 10

140 x 10

then from a deficit

140 x 5

150 x 5

160 x 5

180 x 5

didn't there used to be a squat thread?

how tall are you? body shape has advantages towards different lifts somewhat.

also, how long have you been squatting/deadlifting compared to bench? the first weights anyone would be introduced to would be curls or bench at young ages...+ chins/pullups and pushups....

I have decently long legs for a 6'1 guy but leg length is a poor excuse IMO.

I have only been doing deads and squats since September, so not that long really.

Im just generally not that strong in any lifts hence why I'm doing PPP to try and change that a bit.

I try to avoid using them as an excuse, because all excuses do is stop you from achieving your goals...but long legs do serve a slight disadvantage for some lifts. Consider that deficit deads, which are done at less weight than off the floor, are based on your hips sitting higher than the normal position ala longer legs.

A long torso will also impact on an exercise like stiff legged deadlifts (or deads with high hips), due to added leverage in favour of the weight.

Tall people have more leverage to work against during squats.

However, long arms (also common on tall people) are said to be an advantage for deads and a disadvantage for bench (increased range of motion).

Either way, people have defied these generalisations, because your body, regardless of shape and size, will find ways around all this shit. You might not be genetically set up to win 1st place in a lifting comp, but there's no reason you can't get damn strong and come close, if that's your goal. Only have to look at the <6ft NBA players who punch above their height and can slam dunk, for inspiration.

  • 1 month later...

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

140kg x 7

160kg x 3

I'd like to see 4-5 of 160kg next session, before stepping up the weight again.

As many of you know, I've had a shoulder injury for the last two months, which, playing it safe, has prevented me from doing anything but leg exercise. I'm on the road to recovery as far as pain goes, but I think my shoulder will forever sound like a ratchet spanner.

Having not done deadlifts for 2 months has been very depressing for me and, looking at the empty bar tonight after squats made me say f**k it...let's give deads a go. And so it went:

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

140kg x 4

First two sets were pronated and third set was a mixed, with pronated injured shoulder and supinated non-injured. No pain so far; fingers crossed for the morrow.

Very surprised I was able to lift that given my absence from the exercise and straight after squats (normally did deads on a seperate day). I'd attribute it to maintaining my back with squats in the meantime. Here's hoping I can continue these cause I really missed them and my weekly progress!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
