Do you let the weight completely rest on the floor? Do you gently touch it against the floor? Do you slam it against the floor?
funny ive been here a while and never heard of you where the hell have i been???I'll stop and lift it just before it touches the ground.
*2000th post*..."Ye had so much potential, YAR."
Could be worse, you could be a tiny anti-deadlifting moron. It's good to be optimistic about these sort of situations. As I recall from another thread, CDB was saying your way is techinically "the proper way" to deadlift.Im a big anti-deadlifting moron.
NO!is it cool to deadlift like two times a week?
on cycle.
IMO not a good idear.:gas:no no no buddy. rest your little hand for a second.
can I deadlift twice a week? not your avarege bear.
ok then. you heard the man!! Once a week!!IMO not a good idear.:gas:
DL taxes the CNS too much. You can't really recover in less than a week. I think a lot of people even DL every other week for this reason. Like alternate weeks DL and squat.but just tell me why its such a bad idea.
yep.DL taxes the CNS too much. You can't really recover in less than a week. I think a lot of people even DL every other week for this reason. Like alternate weeks DL and squat.
When I train high volume, I'll often deadlift twice per week (stiff-legs on leg day day and either rack pulls or regular with back), but then again I'm crazy and would rather overtrain than not deadlift.is it cool to deadlift like two times a week?

I do that as well. those are deadlift variations that do not tax your CNS the way a properly perfomed deadlift will.When I train high volume, I'll often deadlift twice per week (stiff-legs on leg day day and either rack pulls or regular with back), but then again I'm crazy and would rather overtrain than not deadlift.
The guy I lift with will tell you straight up: Deadlifts are my answer to everything.
you beat me to it.Stiff leg and regular are two different animals.
That seems like a bit of a stretch...21 wks? Im not sure if i could agree that it's that much but i know that i've done failure deads 2 times a month...over the long haul i think it hurt me more than helped, but in the short run(2months) it was great...I do that as well. those are deadlift variations that do not tax your CNS the way a properly perfomed deadlift will.
I can rip out stiff leg deads 400+ and rack pulls with 700+ in the same week and not have it affect me. But if i rip out one set of 600 on deadlifting its going to be a week or two before i deadlift again.
I had Gus Rethwich (WABDL president and first man to pull over 900lbs over the knee) working with me on a deadlift program one time. And he told me, your CNS can truly only handle one all out max effort deadlift or set to failure on deadlifts once every 21 weeks. And if you tried it sooner you would not be at your peak level.
I think thats probably an overstatement...but gives you and idea that 2x per week is likely to much.
Gave you rep.:thumbsup:you beat me to it.
I like to build my deadlift programs around speed singles off the floor, and heavy pulling from the rack, combined with other excercies such as good mornings, box squats, reverse hypers, pull throughs, back raises, etc.I've always deadlifted once a week. Would I benefit with less frequency?
I usually just hit like one set of 10 or so reps to failure. Like today I hit 365X9. (I've had a long break from lifting heavy, lol). I'm intrigued about trying heavy singles instead of a heavy set to failure. How would I structure a routine like that?
I used to train very similar to that. Working up to something like a heavy 5x6 with some heavy doubles and tripples as i got close to when i would max. And at the time my best pull was in the mid 500's and I had been stalled there for a long time.i do deads every 5 days.... right behind squats as a warm up....
5 sets of 8reps slow-controlled ATG squats, light- 135#
rest a few minutes
then deads go like this
135#, 1x15
225#, 5x5
315#, 1x3
225#,3x5
puke
rest intervals of 30-45 seconds between sets.
3x15 300#ish calf raises
then i crawl to the car and waddle around for the next 3-4 days.
That is ALL i do in the gym on that day
did i mention that i love deadlifts.....
Overtraining for the most part is from lack of hydration, calories and rest. Generally speaking of course.I used to train very similar to that. Working up to something like a heavy 5x6 with some heavy doubles and tripples as i got close to when i would max. And at the time my best pull was in the mid 500's and I had been stalled there for a long time.
Then I quite training like that, and in 6 months I put 100lbs on my deadlift, and it continues to climb today.
overtraining muscles - yes. overtraining CNS - No. A true max effort deadlift or deadlift set you CNS has to send signals to nearly every muscle in your body in a very specific sequence and is very taxing. On the other hand it will only be that taxing if you have good form to allow it to tax yourself that way.Overtraining for the most part is from lack of hydration, calories and rest.

Thank goodness we are all different, I just know what works for me.......
However, I am interested in this program of yours that can get me in the 500's........... So, do tell.

If you look a few post up you will see an example of training, I posted it for someone else. Read up on some dead lift training articles at Elite EFS or West Side Barbell. You will find lots of other training methods there that may fit what you want to do a little better.
But yes, it all comes down to what each individual responds to. So I, nor anyone else, can tell you what will work for you. I am not a deadlift expert, nor do i claim to be one. All i can do is relay what has helped me add close to 200lbs on my deadlift over the last few years, over the 523 i pulled at my first comp.
29 for another 2 months.If you dont mind, I have a couple questions.
Age?
Weight?
Number of years training?
I will be 35 in sept and 2 years of training march 19th...29 for another 2 months.
5'9" 240lbs, w/ BF in the mid/low teens
Training on and off since i was in Junior High without being consistent till about 6 years ago. The last 4-5 years I've been training as a powerlifter.
I have a video log over in the training forum.
feels good to be back don't it.I will be 35 in sept and 2 years of training march 19th...
Here and there training in high school....... Then nothing until 2 years ago.
You know it man. I had just finished 4 years of school while working semi full time job AND helping run a family business. I was physically and mentally exhausted. I was having panic attacks, breakin out, having anger management issues ,put on 25 pounds of flub and was starting to feel my age........feels good to be back don't it.
I`m CRAZY TOO MAN!!!!When I train high volume, I'll often deadlift twice per week (stiff-legs on leg day day and either rack pulls or regular with back), but then again I'm crazy and would rather overtrain than not deadlift.
