These 10x5 deadlifts are getting old. I’m gonna be squatting 295 and deadlifting 360 belt-less next week on the same day so looking forward to it. I train belt-less if you didn’t know. I only wear a belt for a plus set or tm x 3-5 reps or when i’m finding my tm.
Hey man, typically if you’re running 5’s pro you shouldn’t miss any reps, and your 5th rep of your top set should still be decently fast. It might be a good idea to evaluate 1) your assistance and your eating; and 2) reducing your TM.
The 5’s pro is definitely the important part there, you want to nail those sets and then use the supplemental to build muscle and proficiency with the movement.
Todays session was weird. Woke up at 7 am. Ate breakfast, started the session at 9. Finished squat sets, had a zoom meeting, got press and first half of deads done, another zoom meeting, deadlift supplemental. Ended up finishing around 4 Lol, then raking leaves afterwards. What happened was I was trying to work around 2 important zoom meetings.
Unfortunately getting lazy with the assistance again. Well maybe the empty stomach 10x5 deadlifts made up for that
Could do this morning and night on the days I don’t train as light conditioning
I might just keep it at that tbh. I’m not too sure about hard conditioning on days i train. These sessions are mad long and I still need time to study and other crap.
I am very late to this thread, but I have a few comments.
Number one: It looks like you’re squating on the second floor on a balcony. I would get more scared as your weight increases, and if you had to get out from under it… yikes!
Next: From the video of your squats, you seem to have a similar femur to torso ratio as I do. As I widened my stance the weight went higher. You will be limited to how wide you can get without a monolift squat rack.
I think a lot of people write-off this kind of cardio, but I love it. Enough to bust your balls but you won’t get bored with it.
Also, squats are looking way better than they were and you’re looking bigger man. Nice work. Deads look real good - ever try touch-n-go? I got way better at deadlifting when I switched just because of all the extra tension. Looks like you’re built more to deadlift than to squat - you look real comfy setting up for conventional and I’m jealous. haha
I think I’ve done touch and go my junior year of high school. I switched to dead stop because getting the bar off the floor is my weak point.
I am indeed built for conventional deads.
When I assist people with their deadlift technique, I like to see them do touch and go reps. If the second rep is easier than the first, you’re not pulling your first rep as efficiently as the second. (I know loading up on the descent and stretch reflex assist the next pull.)
Watching your video the weight doesn’t look like it gets out too far in front of you. So, from what I can tell, not seeing touch and go reps, looks real good.
