SOLID!
wish i had seen this thread before i made one up lol so i cpy and pasted it here
Ok so i started training last january and started deadlifting around march. Went real light for a few while till i was sure my form was great then started to really hit them and set the goal of 405 (@215bw and 6:1) by the end of the year.
I started 5/3/1 the beginning of dec with a 375 dead pr and i realized last nite which was my heaviest dead day for this cycle that it was my last t\chance to get the lift. I tried 385 didnt feel to hard and went for 405.
It was hard but i pulled it, i need to work on my grip strength tho definitely. Wanna get a vid up here soon for u guys. I cldnt record last nite cuz i needed the music on my phone and my freinds phone was about to die.

Nice! How do you feel about that bar? Can you compare it to the giant cambered bar and the regular SSB?

For GM variations that bar is the best for me. The SSB handles lock it into place on my back and the camber imitates my deadlift motion. The regular cambered bar is fine but with the SSB handles I don’t have to worry about the bar slipping on my back. We sometimes use Cambered SSB for squatting too because it’s very easy on the shoulders. You really don’t even need to hold on to the handles and the bar will just sit in place on your shoulders.
I use the regular SSB for GM’s out of a monolift. The SSB ruins my life for a few days after I use it and I can’t go nearly as heavy. It makes my head feel like it’s going to pop off so I try to keep it around 6-8 reps.
All 3 bars are great, but the Cambered SSB is my favorite for GMs.
I’ve been following this thread for a while now and thought I’d finally chime in. Been running 5/3/1 since February and tested out my maxes yesterday and today. Weighing in at around 195.
Deadlift: 495
Bench: 365
Squat: 475
OHP: 235 (missed)
All of these were PRs for me. I’ve never really deadlifted without straps and was pretty surprised I was able to hold onto the weight. Did all the lifts without a belt or wraps. Would now be a good time to invest in belt/wraps? Not sure how much more my body can go without them. Is it normal to have actual maxes be below your training maxes when running 5/3/1?
FInally…
