deadlift 3 times a week?

[Delgadido]

ok well i have a goal of hitting 500 by feb 22nd. i wanted to up my protein intake and do deadlift on leg days as well.

do you think it will be ok?

I want the reply from the more advanced users of the section. not the ones that just came in this year.

heavy deads 3 times a week? if so HELL no

[Lock_it_Up]

If you can do it, I would no more than twice.

Personally, when I do deads, I never do them without going heavy, so they DESTROY me...like that could be my workout for the day.

3 Might be a little bit of overkill...but it probably wouldn't hurt to do it for a few weeks, to help bust through a plateau, but don't make a habit out of it.

[KevinSorbo]

If you can recover on time and know what you're doing in regards to a specific routine, then try it, but I wouldn't deadlift 3 times a week, my back (mainly lower) simply wouldn't have enough time to recover. I dont recommend it at all. I cant imagine seeing any gains from that.

heavy deads 3 times a week? if so HELL no

well i am taking out squats for the next month.


lol why not

[Xtralarge123]

depends on your recovery time, most likely you can do 2 days maybe 3 see how your body feels and if gains are comming then adjust it from there if you have to.

[Roger999]

3 heavy conventional/sumo dl's a week? I wouldn't recommend it, but i think fuzzy has done 3 heavy dl's 1 week and no dl's at all the next week, ask him about it. Also the lowerback takes 100hours to recover, so go easy on volume.

Bull****, you can do this, you just need to pay specific attention to volume and do lots of stretching/soft tissue work.

Something like:

Monday - 70% 2x6, 75% 3x5
Wednesday - 75% 2x5, 80%x4, 85% 4x3
Saturday - 75% 2x5, 80% 3x5

Do lots of soft tissue work. Get a massage from your girlfriend. Do a solid warm-up...try something like:

Snatch
Reverse hypers
Good Morning
Romanian Deadlift

Light weight, 3-5 reps each, do it a couple times before DLing. Wear a belt if necessary on the heaviest lifts, def. on Wednesday after the warm-up.

Try it for 3-4 weeks and increase the weight each week (15-30lbs first week, and so on).

EDIT: Might want to do a 1 week de-load after this.

EDIT: Just to be clear, %'s are based on your last 1RM (not estimated) raw deadlift (gloves allowable, but no suits/straps/wraps.)

Lower back takes the longest to recover...
Just sayin...

sure you can do deadlifts 3 times a week with 2 of those being lower intensity i see powerlifting programs encorparate that all the time but going heavy 3 times a week will murder anyone

Are you going to suggest anything, or just nitpick?

[ThatArmyKid]

just saying he shouldn't deadlift heavy 3 times a week

i would say deadlift one day then few days later do aa lift that directly helps the deadlift like good morning, rack deadlift, ect

wtf is nitpick?

Have you tried this? It would be good to know you didnt just pull this out of your ass or at least have good reason why one would want to do this.

Thank you for being constructive . That's usually how I train DL actually.

Pull out of the ass, no, tried it, no. It's a toned down version of the second mesocycle from Smolov, because you can't handle anywhere near the same volume (at such loads) with DL than with squats.

The warm-up covers the lift in sections (except for romanian, I just like to warm up with that) and is, once again, similar to the warm-up for Smolov.

For what it's worth, I'll probably be trying this relatively soon anyway. I was doing to do Smolov Jr. for Power Clean in 3 weeks, but I think I'll do this instead.

EDIT: Just looked at your sig, strong deadlift. How do you train it?

[foxrider1]

overkill

[Adawg4929]

Depends what types of deadlifts, i deadlift 3 times a week, 1 light-normal deadlift, 1 SL deadlift and 1 Heavy deadlift.

I used to deadlift heavy twice a week and SL DL once a week but i cant handle it right now.

[ThatArmyKid]

your welcome

now can i continue to nitpick?

At your leisure.

[ThatArmyKid]

whos body can handle high intensity deadlifts 3 times a week??

[Delgadido]

whos body can handle high intensity deadlifts 3 times a week??

ill put mine to the test

[Roger999]

The lower back takes 100hours to recover, so keep the volume low.
