Haven't tested true 1RM recently (doing 5/3/1 and getting much stronger, much quicker) but last Thursday I hit 335x8 when my goal was only 1 rep. Feelsgoodman!

have to switch back to conventional from sumo cause realized i wasn't doing sumo right (wasn't loading hips and was pulling myself out of position when the weight got heavy). was up 30 lbs (from 315-345 for set of 5) on it in 6 weeks and now gotta regress back to 315, if not lower, and work my way back up. not staying with sumo cause i'm a better high hip deadlifter

Try chalk and over/underhand grip first, and use a double overhand grip as often as possible to work on grip strength. I try to keep my grip overhand as often as possible and do sets of chins in between my sets to engage my forearms/grip strength more. For my heavy working sets I generally chalk up and use a switch grip but for everything else, I keep it as difficult as possible!

I've been having problems with scraping my shins. My gym got a ton of new barbells and the grips haven't worn down yet, so when the bar travels along my shins they get torn up pretty bad. Doesn't really hurt but blood gets everywhere and it causes a scene. I've found keeping a narrower stance has improved my takeoff and solves the problem, though.

What are you guys doing for strength methods to increase deadlift pr ?

What are you guys doing for strength methods to increase deadlift pr ?

Doing 5/3/1 and progressively overloading has helped me. If you're familiar with the template, you're not hitting 1RM every workout (more like every two weeks the way I'm running it) and beginning with 90% of your 1RM as a basis for the rest of your lifts. Doing lots of rep work helps as well, after my heavy set I hit a lighter weight for 5x10 for hypertrophy, to work on form, and to work on grip strength. Higher rep deads will work your forearms like nothing else. Supersetting chins is useful as well, it helps me engage my upper back and grip strength more.

Also, chalk!

i don't really follow a proven routine but when i do deads i like to ramp up for like 5 sets of 2. im at 182.5kgx2 at 83kg. still getting stronger while on a deficit.

i also felt easy if you're rage at something srs

Angry strength is too real!

Good solid tips, I been fkn up, and been trying to 1rep pr after my deadlifts sits are over. i like to pyramid up, but it's time to bring in some muscle confusion. my diet isn't strict and I don't eat alot of calories so strength depends on most likely what I ate yesterday prior to the lift. will begin a food log shortly. Goal to hit 800lbs before i turn 23

[Cod2]

i hit a PR of 315x3 today. nothing special compared to what a lot of others do on here but felt good. this is how i work up to my final set:

10x45
10x135
5x225
5x275
3x315

probably could have gone for a new 1RM but meh

Doing warmup sets is always a good idea, dude at my gym tried hitting 425x5 on his chest day without warming up and pulled something in his back on last rep. But I keep my warmup sets at low reps and try to limit them to less than 5 so I'm fresh for that heavy set, and once I hit my heavy set I scale back down and do my rep work. It all depends on your goals though, I personally enjoy including strength and power work into my workouts so I prioritize my heavy work. Some people don't give a sh!t about that and do more rep work BEFORE a heavy set. It's all up to you! I recommend looking into the basics of 5/3/1 if you're looking for a change of pace, though.

Yeah keeping track of your intake is huge! Especially for me right now, I'm cutting weight for a wrestling tourney. If you've got a smartphone, get MyFitnessPal and log your calories that way, or do it the old fashioned way and use a pen and paper. Track everything! Having a proper record of your diet and training gives you something to go back to if you want to examine what worked and didn't work before. If you're anything like me, you may get fuzzy on the details in the future. Give yourself proper time to recover from deads as well, your lower back doesn't have the same recovery capabilities that say, your biceps do.

GJDM, 3 plate dead for reps is a really cool milestone

Always warm up, I'm not sure if you heard of Pete Rubbish, but he's tons of deadlift videos on yt, he's my legit cousin, he's the one who got me all into this lifting stuff!

Damn! Just watched his 800 raw DL vid in a basement! That's impressive, you've got some good genes running in your fam. Are you training with him?

[SpliTT]

this is me at 18+ only been lifting for 12 months around that time.



I'm 20 now, took about 1 year and 1/2 off..started lifting again last month. but crazy how i didnt lose to much strength

[WeakQuads]

ramping to 1 peak set of 5 once a week

dude he's been dl'ing since the longest, and no we live in different states, 2 hours a part from each other. we see each other maybe 2-3 times a year.

GJ on your max vid!

Yeah that kind of strength definitely doesn't come overnight. And it's good he can still inspire you being a ways away! Does he compete?

My PR is 475lbs for deadlifts, I use chalk only.

There is this one video I recommend to all (Derek Poundstone): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgc17leKLKc

http://gyazo.com/7f9b1fd17e5ac38e9bcfa55cf4c42e28 <--- that's my 220kgs fail mid 2013, definitely my max is 215kgs
