Kakno: I see. Would you recommend 5/3/1 full body? It’s very similar to Texas method but instead of volume squat there is 5/3/1 deadlift. Is there any other type of program you’d recommend? Because there’s no way I could 5/3/1 deadlift after volume squat or intensity deadlift.
Caveman: Oh, I never knew that was called hip drive, I thought hip drive was only on the low bar back squat.[/quote]
They are pretty similiar, and it’s a good program. It would seem to suit your needs.

pretty much … ab work wouldn’t hurt either

My 2 cents:
-Give it attention, i.e. more frequency. If you want to see progress you have to give it priority. I deadlift 3 times a week when I’m focusing on it and recover just fine. Test your body out.
-Pack your neck, your craning it up too hard. I don’t think looking up is bad, but do so with your eyes, not your neck (think double-chin).
-Learning to “lock” your lats. The bar seemed to drift away from your shins as you drove up. Lean back more, pull the bar towards your body, and practice halting deadlifts, in which you start from the bottom and pull to kneecap level into set bars on a rack. These are covered in Starting Strength and though they look like they work your legs, your lats get a good amount of stress.

My DL and squat are pretty damn close too. And my structure and weak points are very similar to yours.
More hamstring work never hurt (I’ve come to love good mornings), but I bet it’s largely a technique issue. I tend to get my hips too low and try to squat the weight up, which doesn’t work well.
You may also need more lat work to help you keep the bar close in, dragging up your shins.[/quote]
I had a technique issue (same as yours) but I fixed it, my DL looks pretty good now. I think I may need some extra lat work, but I’ve been doing pendlay rows lately, trynna get to a 225x5 pendlay row by july, I have 175x5 so far, started em 3 weeks ago.
I think I may incorporate good mornings.
Anyone have any set and rep recommendations? Preferably really low volume… Would doing it for 3x5 increase the weight 5-10lbs a week, then dropping it to 2x5 when that stalls, and 1x5 when that stalls be good? once I stall on 1x5 I’ll take a week off of goodmornings and test my DL… Anyone think it’s a good idea?[/quote]
Good mornings for me work when I do them very strictly with higher reps like anywhere from 10-20 reps honestly.[/quote]
Higher reps?? D:
That’s definitely not what I wanted to hear aha
What set and rep scheme’s do you find pretty effective for complete strength with goodmornings? I couldn’t care less about size.

For me its deffinetely 3 sets of 10-20 on GMs
EDIT: And for upper back start doing t-bar rows and BB rows more often. As in up the frequency, I think I read you’ve been doing pendlays (I think thats this thread lol). Do them more often
