I know that comment isn't directed at me, but I figured I'd post in here anyway.

All my lifts have gone backwards recently since I had uni exams and then I have had some weird stomach virus for about 2 weeks. It's amazing how quickly you go backwards when you can't eat properly and lift as you normally would.

Only a month ago I managed a 170kg 1rm and first session back into deads the other day and I could only go 125kg x 8 for 4 sets. My 1rm would lucky to be above 150kg now I think.

havent tried a 1RM but I think I could get 120kg out once with average form, maybe a bit more.

Give it a shot dude, stick it at the end of your volume sets if you like...1RM training is great for boosting the weight of your working sets. Everytime I go up 5kg on the 1RM, I can push out another rep in one of my working sets next session. You'll be at 150kg 1RM in no time,

Form is always going to suffer when lifting max weight...don't stress too much about it not being perfect. If you can break through the weight barrier, your back will be stronger and you will eventually have perfect form on 120kg once you've far surpassed it.

Know that feel bro...but you'll be amazed at how quickly you can get back to it, too. I took 3 months off deadlifting...it only took me 4 sessions to get back to what I was doing before I stopped. Hang in there!

I'm the same, no idea what my 1RM is, but assume it would be 120 maybe? I think if I only had to do it once, and not after 20 previous reps I could do 10-20kg more?

My current DLs look like this, these are 5x5s, breaks in seconds are 60, 75, 90, 120.

Socks only, narrow stance.

88, 93, 101.5, 104, 109

So I know the feel of being a low weight lifter FigJam :)

I actually think it's this giving me a big butt I feel a lot of contraction in my glutes during this exercise.

Well most people perform a 1RM much earlier than I do. I tend to stick mine after the volume training, much to Markos' dismay.

The usual practice is a light warm up at high reps, followed by decreasingly low reps as you make your way closer to the 1RM weight. Last couple of sets will be singles themselves, so you've prepared yourself for the heavy weight but haven't used up all your energy.

Mine is the masochist way :P

90kg x 10

120kg x 10

150kg x 5

185kg x 1

90kg x 10

120kg x 10

150kg x 5

185kg x 1

No difference in numbers tonight, just a repeat of last time for the sake of backing it up and keeping form in check. Felt a bit ordinary/tired today, so wasn't in the mood for stepping up. See how I feel on Tuesday.

Nicely done.

How often is everyone training deads here? Is there such thing as too often?

I'm doing them 3 times a week, 5x5s so 25 reps per session.

I pull up fine but I only do light weight.

I'm only training twice a week and 3 sets + 1RM. Have stepped up 1RM nearly 15kg in 3 weeks.

I wouldn't say you can train it too often, but if you're not stepping up the weight often enough, then in Markos' words you're wasting your time doing the same workout three times a week.

Fair enough.

I like to consolidate the weight before advancing, so I know I can do it even on a bad day, also gives time for the secondary muscles to catch up, but that's just old cautious Dan talking.

If your are doing them 3 times a week u aren't training hard enough, it should take almost a week to recover from the last set, also you need rest and time to train other body parts like Lats and legs that will help with the dead lift

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
