My 1 RM (about 2 weeks old) is 170kg, last week I was doing my final set of 5 reps at 145kg, so hopefully I will soon get a new PB=)

And rock, I agree with you that this is easier to compare than bicep curls as you can't exactly have improper form and lift 30% more :p:

(afaik...)

edit: just realised weight and length might be interesting to know... 74kg 179 cm...

what kind of training do you guys do, or have done in the past. Where did you start at, and how has you progression been?

is the poll showing?

Reply 5

yes, I see the poll...

what are your stats then rock_eleven?

I have been going to the gym for about 1.5yr, during term time at least... I have always been active in sports, love floorball... (still play some with the school team). I just love any type of sports/training, it is fun!!!

I've pulled 160, a couple of years ago, thats my best.. I've been training for quite a few years but spend about 80% of my time regressing, because I suck ass. I suffer from over-enthusiasm... my desire to train far exceeds my recovery ability.

I've been good since the start of this year, though, and hopefully will get 160 again next friday, then continue progressing for atleast a few more months.

do you guys tend to just deadlift heavy about once a week, and manage to progress linearly indefinately?

i only do deadlifts when someone challanges me, like mates or colleages, otherwise i stick to routine and do my usual training, deadlifts as far as im concerned are only there for comps and boasting rights, ive never liked doing it as part of my routine, although it is an exceptional compound exercise

To the first part of your sentence, yes I am seldom doing deadlifts more than once a week, has happened monday+friday some time, but I don't feel it is nice for the back...
To the second part...well, I guess I am still a beginner in terms of deadlifting (about a year), so I see increases regularly, but surely not really linearly, more like a y=Ln(x) curve... i.e. less progress per unit time as time passes by...

Nice workout meathead :wink:

Is it just me, or do we have a supermod (PQ) claiming to deadlift 200kg?

Yes, I'd like an honest explanation from her... Either she deserves enormous amounts of cred, or seemingly more likely she is ruining our poll :p:

Why would you not do the best mass building lift known to man?

Thats what Im thinking meathead, he knows its a great excercise but yet he doesnt do it.

Flank, you say it is only for comps and boasting rights yet you say its an exceptional excercise, doesnt that sound a little contradicting?

I didn't mean it like that. By linear progression I mean constant and reliable progression "every week". As is seen by beginners, for example, and some people for much longer than that. Linear progression is distinct from periodised training where the athlete may only break new ground about once a month at first, then a few times a year, then even less ofton, as they reach higher and higher levels. Higher levels relative to their own potential, that is. While my deadlift is nothing more than "beginner" weights, its probably pushing my limits. I'll be very lucky to ever get 200.
