deadlift

@Steve Freides , you rock! Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your story!

I need to decide to repeat a step, push on, or wave a deadlift cycle. My current cycle is a two step, step cycle which I have calculated to peak at the TSC Oct. 39 for 155 to 160 KG. I have one week of slack built into the programming in case something comes up as it always does. 160 is my...

I'm looking for a minimalist program that focuses on the Bench, Squat, and Deadlift. PTTP is an extremely interesting program to me and I hear great things about it. I want to implement it as soon as I'm done with bootcamp and whatnot. But I am curious if it'd be too taxing to add Squats to the...

I was just wondering if there are any useful standards to evaluate grip strength when calculating the ratio between what one can pull with a double overhand vs a mixed grip Deadlift. For example, one should be able to pull 80 percent of your one rep max with a mixed grip using a double overhand...

Recently I started again with my regular hill sprinting practice. I felt quite sharp and unpleasant pain in the back of my knees after few workouts. The pain peaked when I was extending the leg, just moment before hitting the ground. Since I have some experience with knee rehab, I knew it was...

So far, the begginner strength programs I found about only recommended deadlifting once a week, rarely twice, and sometimes even on their own day. Yet the Easy Strength program I'm following prescribes doing every move every day. At first, I did not question it, but I'm already starting to feel...

Hi, I have been lifting on and off for about a year, and recently came off a long forced layoff. I would like to learn the powerlifts (DL,SQ,BP) well before I start practicing them again and to this end I've been reading Deadlift Dynamite. I've read and re-read all the progressions relatively...

I'm in the test week of the 5TRM back squat programme, and intending to start the Daily Dose Deadlift plan next week. I'm wondering how best to balance the rest of my training with the programme. At the moment I'm lifting 3 days a week – squats every session (as per the 5TRM programme) followed...

I don't think I've ever seen a max deadlift this smooth!

Hey folks! Had a question about temporarily replacing swings with kettlebell deadlifts in S&S. I had back pain to varying degrees for over a year which I'm currently in physio for - I was working on adding in the 24kg but had to take a break for physio since I'm very back and quad dominant. He's...

Good day, Strongfirst men and women! I am requesting technique review. In the link below, there are three videos of me doing some exercises. If you are willing, I would appreciate review and feedback. For context: I'm 5'8", 145 lbs The deadlift was conducted at 295 lbs after a few sets of...

Hi all, I'm wondering how to schedule a plan in which I would like to have S&S sessions and DL with Squats as in Reload? I have 5-6 sessions of S&S with 32kg (Timeless Simple competed), but I think in order to add some DL and SQ I would have to reduce to 3-4. The main goal would be to get...

Ever since reading the book "Building the Gymnastic Body" I was amazed at the claims by the author. The book was written by a gymnastics coach by the name of Christopher Sommer. He stated that one of his students deadlifted 181kg/400lbs on his first attempt. The most impressive thing is that the...

Hi, I'm Alex, I've been practicing with kettlebells for almost a year with some months off because of a mild left shoulder injury and problems with hemmorrhoids. While on pause I did the stretches from S&S and shoulder focused excercises for recovery, I've also been to a physical therapist a...

Hi there guys! I've been training for about 3 years now, mostly crossfit and weightlifting. I started from being just a computer nerd into pulling 190kg deadlift and 160kg squat within 2 years. But, after that I could never go higher, and now I have problems lifting that weight aswell...

Greetings brothers and sisters in strength! In the last few months I've been working on my deadlift (I want to compete in TSC). I've been recording most of them and I've chosen some to show you. In the videos, it can be seen that my lower back isn't perfect flat. I've been trying to improve...

Hello everyone! I had a question about the proper set up for the DL. I've seen the lift taught in two ways and I was wondering which of the two is taught at SFL. 1. Some teach that bar should be pulled upward. The bar should remain in contact with your shins, but it should not scrape them to...

Hello! I was hoping to get a form check on on my Squat and DL this week. I've included the links below: DL: Squat: Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am new here. Can I get a DL form check please? My lower back seems to round a bit immediately right after I pull the weight off the floor. The rounding isn't as bad as it looks like on a cat, but it does make me feel like my back isn't tight enough. What should I do? Thanks...
