Awesome pull! I saw that you competed in a strongman contest not so long ago. Do you plan on competing again anytime soon? Also I would love to see how you map out your deadlift training. Thanks.[/quote]
Thanks man. I posted in that thread again, but to sum it up, I will be competing in another strongman contest on 8 Feb. It will have last man standing deadlift as an event, so I’m very excited about that.
I can’t link to my blog here, but I covered my entire training approach in a post titled “The Mythical Strength Method”, written on 8 Dec. If you google it, you should find it. To summarize it, I make extensive use of range of motion progression, which I detailed here
This cycle started with me managing 14 reps at 7 mats high, and I cut down to 7 at the end. For DL assistance work, I hammer safety squat bar squats with chains, reverse hypers, glute ham raises/sit ups, rows and ab wheel.
