Deadlifts. 500?

[Steeledswole]

Hello,I'm 17 and I've been pulling heavy every wednesday now for a few months. I'm doing Bill Starr's Mad coww 5x5 Advanced version now. I'm putting on awesome strength and size nonstop. Awesome awesome program,but I really want to pull 500. This is a video from about a month ago of me doing 400x3 is the form good? Last wednesday I hit 420 3x3. I'm going to max out tomorrow and record it. Hopefully I'll be atleast 450. If you guys would check it out and comment on there or here I would appreciate it a ton.

Why are you using a mixed grip with straps?

[Steeledswole]

Honestly,not sure. I've used that grip since I was 14.

[scorpionsf]

ditch the straps

narrow your feet. you're not a strongman with massive thighs that don't allow you to go narrower

drop the weight and fix your back rounding

yeah what he said

[eatliftsleep94]

I would also load more before the pull. Jerking the weight is putting alot of unnecessary strain on everything.

[eatliftsleep94]

Oh and 445-465 pull probably. Not at 500 yet man.

You're over the bar too far as it is, jerking the weight isn't helping that any. Pull the slack out son, and I would narrow your stance some, work on bringing your chest up before the pull and lock down your lats. Should get you behind the bar a little bit.

You say this above your video.

I love pushing myself to be stronger than my body wants to be. Must be steroids. No way somebody could set goals and break them without steroids. No way

Don't worry nobody is going to accuse you of steroids with a deadlift of 450. Maybe when you come close to 800....

And here is the only one person who I have seen using mixed grip and straps:

Horrendous form, straps, hitch at the top. Drop the weight and build some actual strength now.

[KyleKeough]

Yes, congratulations on the milestone. You should be happy.

But now, it's time to work on technique, so that this isn't the last PR you ever hit.

Put 500lbs on the bar, try and move it, if you cant put it in the rack at a extended position, then put the safety bars below a few notches, work in this range, the lengthen it , greater and greater, withing 2 weeks i bet you can pull 500, it works!

or ya know...do something like a real program that works

[WorldDomnit]

i reccomend Sheiko. Works wonder for your form and strength. And just drop your deadlift down to 450, make sure you actually get into a good position at the lockout where you can throw your ass forward and lock it out, not hitch it.

Its called working the eccentric phase and is proven to be the single most successful way to hit a large increasing strength due to the increased myofibril hypertrophy. It IS the fastest way to reach short term strength goal. What better way to reach a target weight than train with it? Dont discount something if you dont understand it, unorthodox!

Get really really mad and angry before moving a big weight.
