Post a pick on your thread from head to toe and I can give you some input…
Thanks Bulldog, I’ll see what I can do.
From the one pic you posted before hand on your thread…it does look like your longer armed.
I’ve had the same issue setting up for deads. Getting very loose form wise setting up. Good luck making the corrections.
Benching looks very strong as always.
Corrections are made on my end…just a matter of not letting outside influences subconsciously change things.
thanks im pretty much over Bench…
· Warning !! For anyone who may be reading my drivel Do NOT even considering Following what I’m doing with this approach. It is a heavily modified version of a preexisting program!! It isnt mean for anyone else to try other than myself
Starting my next Deadlift session I’m starting to use a approach on deadlifts Heavily mirrored after a program designed by Brad Gillingham . Understand I said mirrored not a complete copy of it but the general principles and core philosophy used applies to it. I have tweaked certain aspects to better suit for myself based on my own general knowledge* . Here in a nut shell how it will look like…

Starting my next Deadlift session I’m starting to use a approach on deadlifts Heavily mirrored after a program designed by Gillingham . Understand I said mirrored not a complete copy of it but the general principles and core philosophy used applies to it. The only variation is some minor tweaks to better suit myself based on my general knowledge regarding myself. Here in a nut shell how it will look like
A Bastardized Brad Gillingham approach for Deadlift for a short armed Bulldog…
Session 1:
SSBar squats: work in the 5-8 rep range narrow stance (done every session)
Dead Variation: (see below) work up to a heavy single
Pulls Below the knee…. Originally it called for pulls above the knee BUT I feel that they are worthless for me and have never seen any improvement on my pulls by doing them from that height.
Good mornings or RDL’s (done every session)
AB work (done every session)
Session 2:
Dead’s @ ? Still weighing my options of a speed type day or sticking closer to original program %…
Session 3
Dead Variation: pulls from mid shins… up to a Heavy single
Session 4
dead’s @ ?
Session 5
Pulls from 4’ Block… up to Heavy single
Session 6
dead’s @ ?
Repeat Cycle…. Try to match or exceed 1 RM from previous cycle
Plan on running this for at least a two cycles or so after which I plan on going back to pulling back exclusively on the ground.
*As I stated above don’t do this… especially if you’re a beginner!! I would never suggest anyone to modify a program unless they have a solid understanding of the principle behind it and have enough practical experience not to FUCK IT UP .I have several specific reasons for the method behind my madness which I will address latter.
Still staying away from over head work until shoulder gives me the green light… used a Lacross ball on rotator Felt major improvement.
Close grip Swiss bar: 240 x 8,8,8,5,5
RG Pulldowns: 5 x 8 @ SW Used the Bow Tie on these …DAMN talk about muscle engagement!
3 way shoulders:: 3 x 20
Arm curls: 3 x 8 -10 @ I dont care

Oh please! I can fuck up a written program. I don’t even need you to do it!!! 
How many of these sessions per week?
To bad most guys starting out wont admit to that!

Just one… currently my weekly training cycles are running 9 days and not a traditional 7 to maximize my recovery. Going to run my approach through my unofficial adviser to get some fed back from him before I go hog wild. My next Dead session is next Monday.
Tuesday= some light conditioning 
That makes sense. With all of the every session assistance work any more than once a week would make that a real tough program on the CNS.
Well I threw a gruesome pic up. Not sure it’s going to help my deadlift tho 
To be honest … Pulling Heavy from a elevation doesn’t Fry me. No way could i go Heavy off the floor… Part of it has to do with the notion that with my crap leverages for deads I have to expend more energy than someone who is more suited for it.
Looked at the pic… Congratulations! Your leverages are pretty good for pulling! Way better than mine are…
Long arms…with what appears to be a average torso length may be even short.
See, I told them fools in that other thread, I was going to pull 600…lol
Oh…Hell NO!!!
Bullpup told me he pulled 450 x 2 easily said he went for a third and the bar slipped out of his hands due to sweat ( no chalk allowed) I CANT LET THIS STAND!!! Gotta get off my ass and get MY deadlifts a moving!!!
Two words… SHIT SHOW!!!Sums up today lifting!
Squats: Bunch of warm up sets
295 x 5
340 x 5
385 x 5…Felt like a ton WTF!!
Standing Band Crunches: 5 x 10
Thats all she wrote…
Felt like total ass today… Also paying for the idiot amount of reps on Deads on my last set from 5 days ago.
