    PROM Deadlift Program

    Hello all. I apologize for my lack of posts regarding the program. Here is my final update and how everything went. I ended up running the entire program for 12 weeks up to where I maxed. This took me to a 585 deadlift. I can now hit that weight confidently, every lift, without miss. I had a...

    Training Program - Where Can I Improve

    I'm guessing you are working out for aesthetics, based on your set and rep ranges... is that correct? Is your overall goal to gain size? Your actual lifts look good and I halfway agree with the previous comment, though I can't say just drop volume on everything. Personally, it would be too much...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Destroyed today's lift. Had about 3500 calories before I started and it showed. It's a good thing too because I was there for five hours and the program took 4 itself. I tried to make up for my lack of a workout last week and did the max amount of sets that Mr. Leeman gives as an option. Still...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    I ended up going to the school doc and he didn't think it was anything serious. I ended up going to the gym and hitting the program today and I felt terrible. I'm not sure if it was too early for me to go back, or if it was all the time that I took off, but I felt terrible during the whole...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Hey all, I promise you'll have another update soon. I got really sick this past weekend and can't seem to shake it. I think it's a sort of upper respiratory problem and I have been bedridden since. Shortness of breath, terrible cough and wheezing, headaches and no appetite really don't make for...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    So I hit it again today after my personal fitness class at school. Was still a little sore in the hamstrings but that didn't limit me whatsoever. I felt good but got kind of tired about halfway through because of my lack of food today. I was really busy and running off about 1500 calories for a...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Don't give me too much credit, it was a very small range of motion haha but yeah, it was my first time having the chocolate peanut butter ones and they were great. Was a good decision.

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Restarted the program yesterday and wow, do I feel great or what. Pain free workout and was very intense. I have been watching a lot of videos of Mr. Leeman and Supertraining gym and it really helps to see how he wants each of these exercises done, as he explains a lot of the workouts (as well...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Update: feeling good lately. Only slightly hurts to sit for long periods of time. I have been rehabbing a lot and talking with others on preventative care and bracing cues/exercises. I will be squatting today and may test it out a little. If all is well, I will restart the PROM deadlift program...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Update: did about 8 inch rack pulls the other day with 225 lbs. and felt great. No pain. I tried deadlifting yesterday and felt fine the entire time. Went up to 405 for low reps just to test it out. Pulled both conventional and sumo to see how they felt and I was good. I woke up this morning...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    For sure herderdude, thank your the tips and your response. I will definitely do this and try to stay safe however I can. Back is continuing to feel better as I go on and do self-rehab. Having a home stim machine helps too. It is beginning to feel like I can come back soon, but I am going to...

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Hey all! So a little over two weeks ago I was squatting and going relatively light, and heard a pop on in my low back, around my sacrum. It has been giving me problems since then. I hadn't said anything on here because I was hoping it would get better before anyone would really notice or mind...

    Also, the deadlift variation has been taken out, if you couldn't infer that. I am just starting with regular conventional deadlifts now.

    PROM Deadlift Program

    Sorry for my lack of posts folks, I have been swamped with work. Not sure if I said this earlier but I'm an exercise physiology major going the pre-med route, plus I work as a personal trainer, work retail at an outdoor sporting goods store, and cut grass so I have a lot on my plate right now...
