hit these for 3 sets of 3. a month ago my PR was 545 for a single set of 3 and I did a single with 660 regular dead. Hopefully this means my dead is now up over 675.

he has so much energy going that he has to keep moving or his body will overheat and destroy the gym
to str8flexed: are you a powerlifter or a bodybuilder first?
str8flexed
06-25-2009, 04:59 PM
bodybuilding is and probably always will be my first love. but I enjoy powerlifting as well!

If i remember right, you are super fast off the floor already, so what is with the deficit pulls?

it looks that way but it takes me a while to get it off the floor, once it budges off the floor then it flies up. it's just getting it starting

thats more down to your form and you gtting locked into position then a muscle weakness... you see alot of people with good deadlift leverage doing that.
your time would be better spent working on traps and middle back strength IMO.

so lockout work?

yea.
I just looked at your 660 pull again, and youre pretty strong off the floor, you stumbled for a split second getting thebar off the floor because you kinda jerked at the bar a little, but once you got into your groove it came up pretty quickly...
you dont really have a glaring weak spot in deadlift, and personally I save singled out muscle weakness correction training for when I really need it, but thats just how I do things...
its actualy hard for me to pin point your sticking point on deadift, all your reps are very smooth and easy.. but I would still say you should focus more on midway/lockout then off the floor. stuff like rack lockouts/block pulls(bar on block obviously) BB and DB shrugs, banded and reverse banded DLs, chains (expensive to get enough weight in chains though) and lately I have been finding that heavy barbell rows seem to help my deadlift
on the other hand being very strong off the floor can help you ALOT, it can greatly help with bar speed, you can have a huge lockout weakness, get alot stronger off the floor, and it will still get you alot stronger overall.. so by no means is it bad or a waste of time to train your off the floor strength even though you dont absolutely need to.

all of these things.^^
deficit pulls aren't a BAD choice, but its not what I would be doing if my pull was like yours (it is pretty similar, slows down at the top). Then again, you pull more than me and are lighter... so what do I know?

try doing low box squats with your deadlift stance if your weak off the floor.
I got injured when i could deadlift around 550, so i took a few months off and came back and could only pull 525 with like a rounded back.
So i didnt do deadlifts for a while and just did close stance deep box squats and power cleans for like a month. I came back and my first try did 505x9, then 555x3, then 605x3, then 605x5. each number being a different workout, with like 3-5 days between those workouts.
then i stoped making progress on my deadlift for a long time, i totally stalled out with a 605x3-5 deadlift. (i also stopped close stance box squating, go figure)
So i started doing deadlift stance box squats, deficit deadlifts, and rack pulls to beef up my back, and got up to 700x4 in like a month.
in other words every time i do deadlift stance box squats i put extremley significant weight on my deadlift. But doing close stance squats like that place allot of strain on your patella tendons and mine started to hurt all the time. So i had to stop doing them again....
just my 2 cents.
