Hi,
Looking for specific advice like:
- Which muscles aren't firing correctly
- Which muscles to foam roll
- Cues to think about
- Timing and setup issues
- Joint angles
I've been stuck on this weight (335 lbs) for about a month now. I can always get 5 reps in the first set, but the next few sets are 3-4 reps no matter how hard I try. For some reason, I was able to do 330 for 5s all accross the board, which is why I bumped it up 5 lbs to 335. Not sure why that extra 5 lbs all of the sudden = plateau.
I think reps 1-3 = decent, but reps 4-5 the erectors are getting too tired to maintain the lumbar arch.

First thing I notice is that as the reps go on and on your back is pretty much almost parallel to the floor, taking your legs pretty much out of the movement completely. I know it's hard to mimic the first rep, but the goal is to try to get that same poistioning each pull. Your first couple reps were strong and looked good though.

If worried strictly about power....then just do doubles or triples instead of the 3x5.
Also, yes the start positions are different between reps 1 and 5, but rep 5 doesn't look dangerous. You would be hard pressed to find anyone working with heavier weights that does in fact look identical for multiple reps.
I do this to myself when I analyze video.......I begin to notice difference he and there and then compare to what I think are my best reps. Of course, your later reps in heavy sets will not look like some of your best reps, but as long as you are not in a dangerous position.....it's fine.
IMO these reps are all fine. The final two may be a bit more lower back centric.Home Journal: Me vs. Myself @.....http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=125942203

If you want to pull 500 you're definitely going to have to think like a powerlifter and work on weaker muscles.
Hamstrings, glutes, quads, back etc all need to be hit hard and contribute to a bigger deadlift.
SLDL, Front squats, kroc rows etc are all great accessory work for your deadlift.My training log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=178464441
