Deadlifts were crap, was expecting to do 200×4, i guess i havent done them for a while but i ended up using a weight i can RDL for the same reps !? Anybody have any ideas why? mabey just one of those days…

Deadlifts upto 120×6, 150×5, 180×1 (really struggled), 160×4 (easy),4

low box squats 145 5×5 ( interesting how much difference a few inches in height makes, my best of a 35cm box is 205kg)

Goodmorning 95 4×6 (fairly comfortable)

split squat back foot elevated ( whats a power sprinter?) 25kg dbs 3×8

pulldown abs 40kg 3×12
s/s
cabel side bends 40kg 3×12

Very disappointed with the deadlifts, have to get these back up

Hey Prop, we use to increase the gains in the Deadlift by breaking up the movement to keep the ball rolling.
Exercises we found to help increase the Deadlift depending on your sticking points.
Deadlift strength has a lot to do with leverages.

Exercises:

Block Deadlifts (standing on 50kg plate)
Rack Deadlifts
High Pulls
Deadlifts to your knees.
Bands Deadlifts
Chain Deadlifts
Romanian Deadlifts

hammer incline bench ( ment to be incline db press but all the benches were taked and had a line) 80kg 4×6

Push ups 3xmax

inverted row 3xmax

felt good, already felt stronger after a week, probably becaue i’d been doing mostly low rep/volume and haven’t done a bodypart split before

Sprinter squat 3×8 25kg dbs

Tried the different stances, narrow definatly seems the best, also figured that my weak point is actually of the floor, i feel if i can get it off the floor i can get it up, the weight was better but still not where it should be, I think as Ash said getting the grove back is a big part

The rest was ok , dropped of quick tho I think because of my cold

[prop]

Shoulder Press75kg x4,4,2 70kg x4,4,3
Seated DB Press 27.5kg x 6,5 25kg x6,6
3 way shoulder raise 12.5kg 3×8 each way ( better technique than last week)
See Saw Press 20kg x 8 4 @ 15kg, 15kg x 12

Weak off of the floor I would be doing a cycle of deadlifting with you
standing on some rubber mates or 50 kg plates to pull from a deeper
start position, also some snatch grip deads I have always found to be
effective, ash

hi,
i’ve been following this program and im now in my 3 week. ive reaped good gains in size(about 2kg) and massive strength gains(reping 5kg to 15kg more).
shall i carry on with this program or change it.
many thanks

The gains sound great so I would keep going for another month until you start to plateau then change and possibly go back to this after a month and see if it kick starts progress once again, great job, ash
