  1. Once a week.
  2. Sumo.
  3. This is a hard question. Lately I have been hammering bent over rows from the floor, alternating underhand and overhand grips every other week, and it seems to be working. Prior to that, I was doing back extensions on the glute ham bench ramping band tension over the course of 5-6 weeks, and that seemed to help. Prior to that, I was working snatch grip conventionals.

One thing I will state is that we have been hammering Kelso shrugs, either on the chest supported row or lying on a 45 degree bench holding a barbell. We all agree these are helping all three lifts right now. I wish I had started shrugging in this plane a long time ago.

45

Once a week, conventional or snatch grip, romanian deadlift.

46

Once a week for two weeks, then two weeks off.

Hmm…maybe good mornings, maybe farmer’s walks, maybe squats.

1-Every six days.
2-Conventional. I don’t think I’m coordinated enough to do anything else.
3-Stiff-legged DL’s, squats, glute-ham raises, unilateral hammie machine.

50

Once a week. I usually do conventional or sumo. I don’t know about assistance. I mix it up with Romanian deadlifts sometimes I guess.

51

I guess one could consider assistance exercises squats, presses, back extensions, rack pulls. But I don’t really look at it that way. I see them as other exercises I do, worthwhile in their own right.

I was really surprised everybody liked Conventional so much, I hate them. Then again my shin bone was smashed into 3 peices in a car accident (i was on the bike) and not really put back together right.

is it that or is it that i am 6’ and formerly lanky?

55

2-4 times a month
Conventional now, did sumo a long time ago for a bit.
Band deadlifts with average bands (I can’t believe nobody said that yet - awesome exercise), also defecit deads (which I call deads off of a step), and good mornings.

As you deadlift heavier you have to allow more rest for you body, particularly the nervous system (at least I have found that to be true), so every week gets rough if you are always going pretty heavy
