Regarding the instruction in PTTP to move slowly, I was unaware of this. I don't do that. I lift with purpose but don't attempt to move the bar quickly or slowly.

Yeah... like mine yesterday! (No, I don't always deadlift that slow...)
I quoted @Anna C's post with the video above because I recall a video she posted earlier in her deadlifting development where she had not yet learned to grind through a lift the way she demonstrated in this one. It was with a lighter weight, but she reached a sticking point and was inhibited from maintaining her tension and grinding through it. In her earlier video, she easily made lifts with slightly lighter weights than the one she missed on, and I felt like she had enough to strength to make the lift if she could have just ground it out. Now here she is with a heavier weight and grinding at it until gravity submits to her will ;-).
And this is why your bar speed can be used to judge if you can move up in weight. It will be different for everybody as some people are more explosive, but the more you train the more reference points you get and eventually better judge when a rep is so slow that you know that the next one will not be going.If my memory serves right Pavel's PTTP Professional book it discusses this. The slower the lift, the greater the weight that can be lifted" and it explains why, for example force = mass * acceleration. More acceleration need more force. Using the same force if we want to lift more weight, we have no choice but slow down.

I agree 100%. Providing one is getting some kind of cardio in the week, in terms of developing your strength and your body I don't think PTTP is surpassed by any of the other programs by Pavel, at least not by any of the major ones published in books.@RollTideRoll
Step 1: Do your PTTP! and don't worry about anything else (other tools, programs, how longs, etc.)
Step 2: Continue with PTTP!, according to the instructions in the book, and enjoy the practice
Step 3: Post after you don't improve from cycle to cycle
Using bigger jumps between sessions in each wave, and smaller jumps from start of one wave to the next, created a much wavier rhythm of easy, medium and harder sessions within each wave and each cycle.
I lift it slow, but I'm also not lifting very heavy at only 370lbs. I think holding positions is good for strength building, as I learned from the TGU.Right; it specifically says 3-5 on the way up, and drop on the way down. I was curious if Pavel still agrees with this. That is a SUPER slow deadlift

One of my coworkers pulls 675lbs and he is only three quarters my size.Way to make a small guy feel even smaller, Kozushi.
