Building a big DL

do 2 sets of 6 extremely heavy weights to failure and you will be good to go. add 5 to 10lbs weekly
thats pretty much how i do my deads now except 6 reps is somewhat of a warmup i like my work sets 1-5 reps..

looking for some feedback on this program for deads..too much? how would you tweak it, leave it as is? lets hear some thoughts!!

i know ed and he is the king of dead lifts. 911@ 220. this routine will work for some and not for others. it depends on your recoup powers and how hard you hit legs on another day. I am not a great deadlifter but ed is. genetics play a huge roll in any lift. i would suggest that if you gonna try this routine go easy on legs during this 10 week span. maybe just hit 1 heavy set of squats on leg day. if you got good form your legs will get spanked on dead day esp with this amount of volume.

That's fucking unreal and shouldn't even be legal anywhere. I think if I was working out and saw him do that, I'd just go home.

Hey, wasn't he having some gear related testing positive problems? What happened on that?
most organizations dont test or care . if i remember right when he failed it was test to estrogen ratio and he missed it by 1 lol
 
he got a life time ban by the IPF. big deal. juice is part of our sport. as it is in the NFL, MLB, NBA, Hockey etc....
 
Are there less "open" meets/groups now? I thought OPEN events weren't tested, only "natural."

theres plenty of open meets . some organizations have 2 divisions 1 drug tested 1 not like the apf open vs aapf tested

the meet dont start till the bar hits the floor :D
 
he pulled 1 lb less just weeks before andy made his pull. gary has the world record total of 2805. hes benching in the high 8s now. scarry with his squat and dead.
