deadlift

Hey Y'all, I'll be doing my Coan week 10 training tomorrow (last week) and my goal when I started was a 350# deadlift. Well I've already exceeded that at the Iron Gobbler in NJ with a 352# (160kg) lift. (New Delaware State Raw Record Lifting Database ) Attached is my traing log from week 9...

Hey everyone, I am curious about your experience with snatches or swings (specifically heavy snatches A+A style) transferring over to deadlifts. I have decided to put deadlifts on the backburner while I pursue improving snatch strength and capacity. I am interested to see what will happen to my...

Hello Comrades, I need your advice. I was recently diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter. The doctor told me I should avoid stuff like squats and do mostly upper body work. This is devastating because I love weightlifting and it means I can't do Snatches and Clean and Jerks, let alone squats. I...

Hello everyone, I am thinking about starting a program where I would be able to prepare for TSC while improving my double press. It would consist of these elements: Double Press twice a week (KB Strong template) Pull Ups every other day (FPP template) Snatch twice a week Deadlift once a week...

Hello, I have been working on deadlift for some time now, but only recently I started focusing on my technique. I use 5 step deadlift setup by Mark Rippetoe, but I am open for other setup suggestions. After watching video I can tell that I need to work on my head position - I am looking too high...

I've never trained heavy Bent Press and heavy Deadlift during the same training session before. It just never occurred to me. They're both hip hinges so I'm thinking I'll give it a try for a while. My Deadlift/Bent Press session will happen twice a week one week, and then once the following...

I will get access to barbell on weekends soon, and I wonder if there is any long-term plan of practicing the deadlift with only one workout a week? Is it possible to improve 1 rep max from 1.5 x BW to 2 x BW this way? Rest of the week belongs to S&S.

Hey guys, I am new to deadlifting and have only been pulling for about 6 months now. I am getting a lot of lower back pain throughout the week and just wanted to see if some more experienced lifters could help point out what I am doing wrong and how to correct it. Thanks!

I am new to this forum, so this is like a "long time listener, first time caller" moment for me. Recently I finished an 8 week 'program' I created to begin exercising again consistently. I met my goals with this program, but I am looking for some advice moving forward. I have many goals, but I...

Currently I breathe at the bottom of my setup and at the top of each rep to stay tight at the bottom in order to touch and go. The only other way of breathing I've done is slight exhale on the way up during +90% attempts. I don't feel like I'm losing spinal stability by breathing at the top...

As many instructors I have regularly come across the well-known problem of outward knees on the downswing (making it more squat-like, even if people seem to hinge correctly), very often accompanied with people also sitting on the outsides of their feet. One way of dealing with this has been to...

I read Power to the People again. On page 43 Pavel talks about "The Hollywood Units", and how big and strong they were. One commando shared their program with him. I do not remember reading this before. 100%x5, 5min. Rest 90%x5, 5 min. Rest 80%x5, 30-90 sec. Rest, stopping a few reps from...

After not pulling in a meet for 18 months, I pulled 330 lbs. this past Spring, did the Daily Dose Deadlift based on a 365 lb. max, and went 2 for 2 today. I opened with 320 lbs., a weight I've done in training and posted video about here, then did 350, which was heavy but not quite at my limit...

Heh. Based on a variety of consultations I've decided to drop the Swing portion of S&S (for now) and dropped back in the barbell deadlift. I may have to keep this thread going in the Barbell forum, but I thought I'd briefly summarize my thoughts here and anyone can feel free to jump in...

Hi all. I'm hoping to have some people put some eyes on my numbers in the plan I'm thinking of implementing for a new Deadlift peak. I'll be running this concurrent with building a volume base of KB Snatch so it's a twice-a-week deadlifting plan. I modified it from a plan designed to Deadlift...

I have long been interested in Bob Peoples who pulled 728 back in 1947 at about 185 pounds bodyweight and always enjoy reading any articles written by or about him as he is my favorite lifter. In addition to these articles I was pleased to find that Bob Peoples wrote book titled Developing...

Hello Everyone, I've long been doing pistol squats, and airborne lunges until I recently saw the Goblet squat in Simple & Sinister which stretches pelvic muscles and hip flexors. I also know squatting close to a wall to make sure torso and knees don't bend forward and keeping proper squat...

Hello, how's everyone doing? I am new here, but have pursued this forum from time to time. I am not sure how it works, but was wondering if I could get a response from Pavel on a few things, as I am a fan of Power to the People. I know he talks about the importance of low reps, but was...

Hey Guys. I`m currently working on getting a 200 kg. deadlift as a primary goal. Right now i have a max DL of 165 kg, pull-up at 15, and a military press of 60 kg. With my job in law-enforcement and martials-arts training i am able to build stength three times a week. I have been doing...
