1 deadlift
2x 5 @ 60 kg
5 @ 100kg
3 @ 140 kg
1 @ 170 kg
1 @ 190 kg
1 @ 205 kg
3 @ 215 kg
Camera died. First two reps didn’t look that bad. Third was very hard and a bit out of position. I don’t know if it was hitched but I think it wasn’t.
This was still too hard but definitely a glimpse of hope that the tables are turning.
2 power jerk
4 x 4 @ 102,5 kg
Super easy. Felt like 60 kg.
3 bent over row
3 x 8 @ 70 kg
4 cyclist squats
3 x 15 @ 55 kg
At this point I still felt like I had a lot of energy (again, good sign!). So I decided to do some pushes with the new sled.
5 sled push
6 lanes @ 120 kg + sled
This was a bit overkill. The sled has A LOT of traction here and this was harder than I wanted it to be.
Notes:
this training improved my mood. I felt better than the last 2 weeks in many ways.
Since I’ve coached exactly zero people, my gut instinct might be way off, or maybe hthe way you dedlift is more applicable to strongman but don’t your hips start a bit low considering yoru structure?
Nah nothing strongman specific about my deadlift besides the straps of course.
I just have pretty damn long legs, haha. Also the angle might deceive you. If have a look through my other videos it might give you a different perspective.
I have long legs too! And I thought it looked as if you did as well. And I just extrapolated from my own experience that I prefer to start with my hips slightly higher. But maybe our femur/tibia ratio isnt the same but the end result of leg length is.
My apologies! Upon reading the previous post again, I realized I read it wrong. I thought you said I dealifted with my hips too high when it was the opposite.
To that I would agree. I dealift with my hips reasonably low and rely on my legs a good bit. That’s one of the reasons for the 11" deadlifts I do on Saturdays.
Im regards to my structure: If you view my deadlift strictly from the side, I actually don’t lift with a straight back. Maybe that explains your confusion?
Ripped my pants completely on rep one. On the one day I wore my tighty whities because all boxers were in the washer. Rocked the rest of this with my cheeks hanging out. Did not get a sponsorship offer or a dinner invitation and I’m quite sad about it.
I’m a bit behind on logging. I’ll see if I can update tonight or tomorrow. Things have been crazy (inside and outside the gym) these last few days and I’m shot.
