what do you guys thnk is the best deadlift assistance? i was considering adding one on my volume day.

RDL, speed pulls or covnentional rack pulls(I pull sumo) seem to be the 3 i think are most benficial.

I've found the assistance that has most helped my deads in the past was doing more deadlift with lighter weights for more reps.

So finally caught whatever this **** going around is (slight fever, muscle aches, intestinal hate) and I know it's only going to get worse. Monday was supposed to be my max front squat day. Do I:
A: Max today so there's no deload as intended?
B: Wait it out and max fresh after the bug passes?
C: DGAF about front squatting and just reboot to back squat program after dead max next weekend?
I'm going to be pissed if I **** my garage today with option A, but I spent 8+ weeks on this program and want to see it through properly.

Just got a bug? I say wait it out and when you start getting better, do de-load weights for the first week before hitting sht heavy again unless you really feel up to it right after you're better. Taking care of your body> sticking to a program

SPF Judge - Your buddy John trained at SBB this morning. Small world.

LOL. Yeah he texted me earlier about it. He's cool as fukk. We were roomies for a while and trained in our garage. He's supposed to be moving down there some time.

I definitely don't need deficit deads, i pull sumo with a small arch in my upper back so breaking the weight off the floor is never a problem. ...

Deficit deads can help both the start and the lockout because you are pulling for a longer amount time, straining longer, or tut. What ever you want to call it it helps along with many other options given here. Also, pull faster. Dimel deads and add bands top, bottom, or front to any of the pulling variants will help that.

have you done 30 or 31?



possibly, but on 29 you start playing with 85% at week 3, but you don't touch that until week 4 on 37?

Yup but 37 have some 6x3@80% + back off + good mornings. As for intensity, dont worry about it at first, let the volume flow trough you. If after a few sheiko cycles you find yourself asking for more lifts at 85-90%, you can always customise it.

People crack me up when they think there isn't enough volume on Sheiko.

[ErickStevens]

speaking of your SBB, my sister is up in clearwater i'm gonna make a trip soon.

I'll Pm you when I know the details but i want to come by and set a deadlift or bench PR, on good DL bar or proper bench setup.

la fitness driving me crazy lately.

I have warn you, we have some really nice benches and bars. It may be hard to go back.

LOL. Yeah he texted me earlier about it. He's cool as fukk. We were roomies for a while and trained in our garage. He's supposed to be moving down there some time.

He was really nice. I hope he gets that job down here so we can add another dude to our team, we're way too chick-heavy.

Sheikos not too bad, but it doesn't do anything for my dead.

I've seen a lot of the rap videos and the Hitler vs. Vader ones are phucking hilarious.

...

Its ok though, I had a protein shake exactly 30 minutes after the conversation so the CNS fatigue wasnt too severe.

Whatya mean by "bad"?

Whatya mean by "bad"?

That he was completely hating on westside/gear and all that. And that he was being cocky about being alpha and the best. He just seemed to be pissed with the state of powerlifting which alot of us are. World records being broken with iffy calls. Not being competitive with the Russians and other countries on a world level.

I'd say a lot of people could agree with the things he was saying. I just felt like he "padded" the book with lots of filler.
5/3/1 was like 100 pages of awesome.
Cube was 80 pages. 20 with the training info I was hoping for and 60 of material that had a good point but was poorly written.
It had more run on sentences than a 6th grade essay.

I like what he had to say about the current state of lifting and what a joke the world records have become.
I've pretty much been a Brandon Lilly nuthugger for the past 3-4 months, and really liked what he was putting out. But I was disappointed in the book. I looked forward to it for a while, and it def wasn't worth the 27 dollars.
