Deadlift Chart

[PMDilly]

In this current cycle I'm doing, what I'm doing for my "big" lifts is hitting 3-5 sets of singles, then backing off and doing 3-5 sets of 3-5.

It ends up being something like bench for singles, then OHP for 3-5x3-5, and vice versa (so one gets trained heavy and light each day).

I take a weight I can handle for 3 singles, then work with that until I can hit 5 singles before adding 5-10 lbs and starting over with three. Same idea on the next exercise, start with 3x3 and try to build to 5x5 (though I sometimes cheat and go up when I hit 5x3).

I'm trying to do this for squats as well, though in practice I just end up doing the singles and not the higher volume stuff after, since I'm training lower body a bit different.

I know right? That's good stuff.

I hit a double with 545 today, again w/ belt and chalk.

Here's the vid:

Hey now, don't be so hard on yourself...you're not THAT fat...

lol

Did a warm up today before going for the maximum i could actually handle without dying lol and good form.

225lbs with 1 rep..my bodyweight n stuff is in my signature

added an extra 20kgs since last time..10kgs each side

Since no one looks at my journal(), my new stats are:

bw=160 lbs
max raw pull=265 lbs

 

[Karky]

This isn't a thread hijack, but we should do a squat chart instead! At 190 lbs i can squat (and have done so) 615 max...On the other hand, my Deadlift is only at 220 max =(

 

[Hoss]

I've never seen a difference as big as that between skwat and dead. Are you going to parallel?

 

[Tenken]

Absolutely, i've had more than a few people check my form and make sure because it freaked me out as well. It's been that kind of huge discrepency since i started lifting...Luckily, my legs don't LOOK disproportionate to my upper body. Heh, I've had people look at me before i put up the bar and be like...are you sure you want that?

The biggest problem for me is the sheer weight. I feel like if i go any higher, my back might snap, so i try to be very careful heh.

 

[LeiYunFat]

DAMN

I wanna see a video...

One of these two numbers is a lie.

There is no way you can squat 615 and only deadlift 220 unless maybe you had a ridiculously poor grip that prevented you from holding a heavier weight. But if your prime movers and stabilizers can hand so much weight on the squat then 220 would be cake for those muscles on a deadlift.

 

[Tenken]

I see no reason to post lies, i couldn't care less about internet-opinions of me when considering no one has a clue who is behind the box. That BS comment out of the way now...

For some reason i don't have a good excuse for, i didn't include lower back in my training until about a month ago (big oversight, huh? lol). I realize the possible implications of having an under-developed lower back etc. But Prome might be right, i might have a ridiculously poor aspect in my deadlift that's killing it. Or maybe it was the lack of training.

On that note, i'll probably skyrocket the deads in the next month or two if it IS very underdeveloped isolated muscles, so i'll let you know progress.

 

[PMDilly]

You don't squat 615 with a neglected lower back.

While I don't doubt you possibly put 615 on the bar, then put that bar on your back, I do seriously, seriously doubt you did what would be actually considered a squat with said weight.

People don't just "happen" on 615 lb squats while not having a trained core and being able to deadlift more than 220 lbs. Sorry, but that's bull****.

 

[XTTX]

Wait... squat 615 including your BW or 615 on the bar. So do you have 615 or 425 on the bar (even still your DL should be closer than that to your squat.

 

[PMDilly]

It really doesn't matter. Anybody that can actually squat either number will be deadlifting a lot more than 220, regardless of grip or lower back or any other issues.

 

[holabuster]

I pulled 225 six times today as my last set. I know you said no calcs, but it put me at 261 for 1RM.

Just put me in for 225 then, I guess. Bodyweight is 147 lb.

 

[Hoss]

505x1, finally. F deadlifts. I hate 'em. Where's the 'Squat Chart' so I can put up a real number muahaha..

 

[Karky]
