bozodos Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 this may have been asked before, but is it best to lock the legs upright before moving the barbell off the floor?

Birds Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 90kg x 10 110kg x 10 140kg x 7 160kg x 3 Bit of a setback in training after my holiday in Perth and two subsequent colds. Earlier this week I pulled: 90kg x 10 110kg x 10 140kg x 6 160kg x 2 Next session will give 150 for reps a go, followed by 160 or 165 for reps.

Birds Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 So today my gym held a deadlifting competition as part of its open day, which I thought was pretty cool. Apparently they will be doing things like thia on a monthly basis. Good to see compound movements being promoted in a commercial gym environment. Prolly helps the new manager is an ex sprinter, who deadlifts close to 300 himself Strangely similar to the comp we had on here - 1.5 x bodyweight for max reps. There were only 5 or 6 competitors unfortunately, so not much in the way of competition, but a few onlookers (~25) and decent prizes made up for it. Being a commercial gym, I took 1st place (tehe) and all the typical big gym bros were too scared to step up to the plate and even give it a go. Shame! I pulled 120kg x 15 on first attempt and 12 reps for the second, 5 mins later. Really wanted to faint after the second lot! Grip held me back on the first set; the back and heart/lungs wanted to keep going, but the fingers said no. Gotta work on that. Still, that's 5 more reps than I did of the same weight in our comp on here...so I'm glad to see I've progressed. Props to the fat 50 year old dude who pushed out 9 reps of 180kg...this kind of thing definitely favours the lean and lightweight.

bozodos Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 thinking I either need to get more grip strength or some straps - since I'm plateauing on 100kg! Kept finding the bar wanted to slip out of my fingers, didn't help that my gym has no f**king ventilation or fans going in winter at all, making it extremely humid in there to the point that the condensation drips from the roof.

Birds Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Chalk + mixed grip = instant +50kg grip capacity. Other than that, there are grip strengthening exercises you can do...holding the lockout on last rep for example.

bozodos Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 yeah I use mixed grip, feels a lot more natural haha. Tossing up on chalk or wrist wraps, prefer chalk cause I'd like to build up dat dere grip strength.

Your grip is weak. Keep doing deads and it will get stronger eventually. Then something else will lag. Use normal grip instead of mixed to help with developing the grip strength. Also focus on squeezing the hell out of your grip when you lift.

I had a feeling that this was part of it too - I've been trying to squeeze the crap out of all the weights when I use them to build it up some more Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421334-deadlift-progress-and-improvement-thread/page/6/#findComment-6907859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangles Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If it really is noticeably weak, try some fat grips. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421334-deadlift-progress-and-improvement-thread/page/6/#findComment-6908889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate. Shame you couldn't make it down; would have been good to have more lifters there. Said they were gonna run another comp later this month for a different lift. I got a $100 Coles Myer card for my efforts - not bad for just doing my workout! Looking to post some good deadlift numbers during tomorrow's workout.
