oh i love rack deads .. i don't actually get to them nearly as often as i'd like using the westside routine i'm currently on .. but once this is over in a few weeks and i'm back on my typical routine i'll be doing rack deads around once every 11 days or sobro, i have never seen such an improvement in overall back development since i added rack deads to the routine. it's helping my lockout bigtime on full range deads as well.
per square pound???
take into who's got more of a leverage advantage at being 4' tall. a deadlift is what, 6" from the ground?
WTF Marine. Better man up and gimme more than that Devil.WG chins (pullups)

people do them all the time, especially off of 100lb plates, they're nice and thickWell with all this talk about increasing the deadlift, I got a question. Anyone ever do full range of motiond deads on a slightly raised platform, say one or two plates thick. For me the hardest part is always just getting it off the floor and I am wondering if these could help that. Only problem is that by the time I would incorporate those, rack deads and deads it seems so spaced out and Im not sure how much of a benift they would be anyways. Anyone ever do em?

Might hit up the 4 day split once I get to Texas. 3 months of prime lifting time right there.nate, yup, 4-day split. everyone advised against it but it's working fine. if i feel the need, i'll bump it down to the normal protocol, 3-day split.
thanks ubi.
Same here. So you don't incorporate rest pausing at all Beez?i'm wondering how you know when your CNS is burned out. i know when i need time off, just by how lifts are going and how i feel. that's the extent of my revelation.
I'll toot it for you. Toot!no, if i were on the 3-day split, i probably would though. i'm just concentrating on improving by a few reps or few lbs here and there. there's no big jumps in strength for me anymore. not trying to toot my own horn, but i believe once you get to a certain strength level, all you can hope for is small increases. anything else could mean injury. JMO.
Have you tried the DC version of SLDL's? For example I'll start at 200 lbs, knock out 6 reps and add 10 pounds, knock out another 6 reps and so on. The only break you have between sets is the time it takes to reset the weight. You go until you can't get 6 reps.SLDL

Didn't think so. It's takes a lot of stamina and endurance to do it. I even get winded and damn near pass out sometimes when I do it.nope, haven't tried it nor do i want to.

feel fried, aka damn near overtrained. it's time for a break yet again. been about 6 weeks, so i'm right on track for a week off. and it's spring break next week so it works out great, plenty of sleep time.
I watch myself Ubiquitous; Beelz liks that sorta thing...at least thats what Nate told me. :rofl:He's only hitting PRs because I'm whispering in his ear "Daddy's going to make you hurt when you get home".
works like a charm.
