It disheartens me how quickly you pull 180.

It makes me feel better that your back isn't perfectly flat while deadlifting like me however, I've got a bit of roundback going on.

Strrrooooong though.

If you consider his squat stance/strength, his deadlift is actually quite low. I reckon he should pull 220-230 very soon though just by geting used to doing conventional/any kind of dead again.

Strong sauce Jason.

Thanks and definitely an understatement for my current pulls lol - I find it quite a nice setup and my back never felt nicer after heavy deads... weird.

Defo agree with that... shocked at how easy 180 was... havn't pulled conventional for a year. Just conjecture... but I reckon front squats may have helped for getting the weight off the floor.

Also bear in mind I was fatigued by the time 210 came... already tired by 200 and had no red bull left - front squat fail/max, and 90 mins of tennis... which as you know by my current "conditioning" is quite significant lol.

Only problem is... although maxing it fun, its also taxing - dunno how regular to DL max - any opinions on DL training? (ps it has swayed me back slightly in PL... just need to sort out that pesky bench).

Congrats man/// nah ICL didn't happen I am close by, RHUL anyhow wow remarkable transformation

So what are you planning now that you have graduated ?:P

[redbuthotter]

Start job hunting soon. Having too much fun training like a pro weightlifter now... eat, sleep and recovery methods (sauna, steam, cold baths ect).. this needs to stop lol.

For training... I wanted to become an olympic weightlifter.. but discovered deadlifts are quite fun actually so... little torn atm. Will probs train both tbh and save maxing out for DL once every 2 months or so.

Ooooh its GOOD to be back... returned to the platform after 8 days off. Felt slow, but was well rested up... so smashed it. Was dead by the time deadlifts came, so went light.

Back Squat:
bar
60kg x 5
100kg x 3
120kg x 1
130kg x 1
140kg x 1
150kg x 1
160kg x 1
170kg x 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rog3b1SrIXk
180kg x 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q00np_2GFj8
185kg x 1 PB - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QgaM...el_video_title

Need to focus on technique... got sloppy towards end. Also probs time to spam in loads of back off sets... work felt easy today not a true max.

2 hours of tennis in between.

Press:
bar
40kg x 5
50kg x 3
55kg x 1
60kg x 1

Push Press (these felt heavy):
60kg x 2
70kg x 2

90kg x 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MonjtMqNSjw
92.5kg x 1 PB - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lqE_bntrMI
95kg x fail.... weak sauce and bad stamina... gassed

Speed deadlifts up to a 170 single... nothing interesting.

Finito.
