If you had to give it everything, how many reps could you knock out at 315?

[vsvs]

i can grind out some more reps for another 4 minutes, but noone wants to watch that lol
could get above 25 reps i think. its a bet between me and another miscer that i know, 315 as many as possible lols

[Gopack2]

Back day
DL 1x2 385 Felt good went up easy

Speed DL 8x3 315

3 circuits of quad sets

Bent Over Row 3x8 100
Rev. Grip Lat Pulldown 140, 140, 145
Arched Back Good Mornings 3x8 110 Gym Packed and no extra bars available so I had to use the heaviest Straight Curl Bar.

i hate it when you mentally prepare yourself for a legs session, but are injured on hip and end up doing back! really throws you off.

was not feeling good today. still did deads tho, a must. pulled 540lbs, clean. i reken i cood get 550lbs on a day where I feel great and wear a belt. (i dont ever wear a belt, but thinking of getting one for heavy one rep stuff)

hoping to pull 6 plates in a couple of months i reken. 573lbs....each lb i increase on deads will get me closer and closer!

lift heavy, peace

[BigD_SEVA]

first heavy BB DL since starting my new diet 400x6 without straps gloves or chalk netted this

[-Lucifer]

Big D, strong rep power, brah. I am jelly.

[BigD_SEVA]

lol yeah im workin on opening the gateway now, and your display pic makes me moist brah

[vsvs]

high rep deadlifting + raw jeans = burn

[LPMNDCTE]

got 4 platesx4 (Cheated using the Trap Bar though)

But at least I'm still getting stronger

[matt297]

Oh hai!

I did this today but i want your opinion on the extent of my back rounding.

I did 352x5, but the camera knocked off after 2 reps.

Do you guys think its that bad? Should I go up in weight as planned or stick with 352?

[erwin1230]

I like to know about the workout routien programs.

Holy crap...

[The Shoeless Wonder]

Doesn't look like too much to me. If it rounds a lto more when you add weight then back off a bit, but as it is you're fine.

[LPMNDCTE]

Just pulled 405 Conventional a couple of days ago. I'm taking 5 days off from my bodybuilding program and switching to a powerbuilding program after Nov. 30... My numbers should shoot through the roof..

Finally, 4 plates down...

[tunagoat]

Well its seems that after a month of trying to find my leg drive.. I failed at figuring it out.. So I'll go back to work at it with lighter weight again ..

But I manged to pull a new PR of 375x1 .. I was the only one in the gym at 1AM so I let it all hang out with a loud cry to the gods to let this thing keep moving LOL

375x1 -- I have the vids on ******** but dont know how to post them hear = Fail
315x5

This was also the first time ever using a belt.. Felt completly different and it was much more comfortable..

[Gopack2]

On 11-07-10, I pulled 425 as my max and yesterday after doing the Ed Coan DL Program consistently, I pulled 425 for 3 reps then maxed at 455. New PR!! The program is awesome...I am sure the gains will slow down eventually but so far I am loving it.

475 -> 585 in 3 months?

that's ridiculous

[born4muscle]

two weeks ago, I maxed out at 495 (I did use straps on this though..I will try not to use them from now on), but i hadn't seen this thread yet, so I didn't have a camera handy. haha This week I did 315x8 for 3 sets. Felt good. I plan on going low rep again I a week or two. Hopefully this time I remember a camera!

[DPushinweight]

This is a awesome thread. My max right now is around 450 i gotta strap my right hand though due to surgery back in november i tore some ligaments in my hand and cant pull more than about 315 without dropping it. My usual workout looks something like this

245x8
315x8
365x8
435x5
455 i sometimes get and sometimes i cant get it past the stick.

Looking for some help on what to do to improve my max. I usually do this one week and light squats 2 days later. The next week i do 4 sets of 8 with 315 but i squat heavy. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[inthematrix]

it appears I'm one of the oldest here (34)

been back deadlifting for 6 months after a 8 year layoff...

at 540lbs at the moment, done 5-plates for 5 reps, working towards 6 plates (and beyond), want to get there before June 2011
