Good workout anyway.
Adida, I've got great results on deads by pulling after the whole weekend resting. I squat fridays rest weekend and deadlift mondays. Bench wednesday.

What is your max deadlift?

 

[adidamps2]

the last time i maxed was before my break in training and i hit 365..i was hopping to hit it again today..i feel i could have if i wasnt beat down as much as i was today..i didnt expect my bench to impact my deads like it did..

 

[Winter]

Good workout Adida. Did you lose your grip while holding it, or was it that you just couldn't pull the weight?

 

[jul]

Workouts looking good Adida! I do better on the dl's after several days of rest as well. You'll get the 365 next time!!

 

[adidamps2]

thanks every one.
and WInter i broke the wt off the ground i just didnt have the gas to get it up or lock it out. and now i think i strained my low back oh well...i'll be takin the next few days off from the gym anyways due to work. i think i may start pullin off blocks and get my DEADS up that way.

 

[pretty ricky]

yo addida if you got a problem gettin off the floor then you need to add the blocks in.i change my pulls btween off the blocks to racks to floor deads about every 3 weeks.it has been good to me.and i love winters avatar!!jul's too man what a pic.

 

[AngryMuscles]

yup..block/box pull is the way too go. it is not as easy as it sounds really....i had a hard time due to knees/shins prodding out. will get vids of me doing it next week.

other wise felt great in the gym and strong on all my lifts. excited about my 225 bench. really focused on my form and grip and nailed it all easily. besides trying to bench once every ten days before, i was flat back/no leg drive benching, bah! did soem reading and video watching and saw were i was making my mistakes. its own now!!

Bench is going up HUH

 

[MANOWAR]

Nice chest work man. Why so many reps on the dbs? Looks hard. Even when I pick up 25s and go for 50, I end up geting no more than 20

 

[jul]

Ugghh...Hate to hear about your back, Adida. Rest up. I have the same problem with my floor deads. Just started doing them last week, but getting the weight off the floor is harder than I thought it would be. Maybe I will try the block deads as well.

 

[MANOWAR]

What are block deads?

 

[adidamps2]

thanks for all the support/comments and suggestions.

MoW block deads are when you pull deads off an elevated surface..almost like a rack pull, but there is still leg drive and a shorter surface brake off of.

When you hoppin on the sauce, mister? You could've went for 230 or 235 last time you said, so I think you're ready

i was gonna do a lil more lifting, but i was lifting at work at night, and right after i finished my timed DB press, some jack ass jumped off a boat and i got called back into the shop... however in retro spect i think that was more than enough bench work.

unfortunetly i may have to hold off a lil longer due to finacial reasons..buti due believe i am ready..esp since my sqts are past were they where, ad my deads should be after i get sufficiant rest next time, and my bench was really a matter of form and a shortin the gap between lifting days.

Are you doing alternating grips on these?

no i am not, should i be?

yea you and me too..i have a few things on hand like the M1T, MOHN and M1D but i dont have the test's i want or the post cycle therapy (pct) yet..however if i keep making solid gains right now i feel as if i am not missing out on anything yet.

 

[Winter]

no i am not, should i be?

Yeah. You should do pinkies on the ring, then index fingers on the ring then put your pinkies like in a bit more than the rings, say about 3-4inches in. So you should rotate off like this:

Set 1: pinkies on ring
Set 2: index on ring
Set 3: Inside a bit
Set 4: repeat step 1
etc etc etc
