500 to 600 dead advice required

[tpoeatvon]

Finally hit a 500 lb deadlift yesterday and the satisfaction lasted about ten minutes. Took me two and a half months from 400 lbs on madcow.
Does anyone have a program that made the difference between 500 to 600?

If your current program is working, keep doing it.

time....that usually is a good program....sorry but just like everything else in the world...you will stop progressing. When you hit that wall, not if, what will you do? how will you react? TIME will tell.

\Congrats on 500!! great job!

if you truly gained 100 pounds on your deadlift in 10 weeks, then why not continue it for the next 100 pounds? it may and probably will take longer than 10 weeks... but still.

Personally I would be thrilled added 100 pound to my dl in 10 weeks. Congrats bud. Keep doing what you're doing!

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Maybe I'll just give myself a rest for a week or two for the joints then and keep running a 1x5 working set for my deads then.

No joke. I always stall on deadlift in Madcows around week 8-10 and have only gotten about 40lbs on each run. 100lbs in one run? That's ridic nice. Had you not done a strength program before this?

stay on your program...

strengthen your core and hamstrings like its your job and your dead will come up

but most importantly dont overtrain that lower back heavy or you'll end up like the rest of us fattys with a a herniated L4 or L5


resting can be just as important as training sometimes

to keep my back fresh i do sumo one week, conventional the next and so on...

Correct, Ive only been training for hypertrophy for a couple of years previous to this. Gears have completely switched and Im only really interested in seeing how strong I can get, and surprisingly its worked really well so far haha.

Thanks for the advice mate. I reckon I'll keep it to 400/350 lbs this week and then drop back for skill work. Nothing like training with lighter weight to bring the heavy form up.
