wales Member 1058, 5361 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 294 654.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq	Sat 28th Aug Squat 60 x 6 80 x 4 110 x 5 132.5 x 6 132.5 x 6 132.5 x 6 132.5 x 6 132.5 x 6 132.5 x 6 18" D.Lift 100 x 6 140 x 4 205 x 3 230 x 2 250 x 1 B.O Row 100 x 6 100 x 6 100 x 6 First session back from holidays and i've decided to change my routine for 4 weeks, i'm aiming for a comp at the end of sept' so am following somolov jnr squat routine for 4 weeks, squatting every other day. Didn't do too much because lower back was well worked and could really feel it. It was my first try at 18" deadlift and 250kg felt really tough but i need to do 280kg in the comp so really need to target this.

a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290 770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq	sorry i havent replied to your question but what i meant was doing 2 days per week on the deadlift only up to your comp but after thinking about that just work on your 18" doing triples doubles at 250 260 270 and save the 280 for the comp or you could work up to the 280 on the short time you have remeber you can hitch in strongman so if it gets it up into the locked posistion then use it

But after reading the above i see you meant following the russian squat routine but for the deadlift. Would i be better off training DL twice a week (1 18" session and 1 full session) and squatting twice a week. I was planning on training every other day up to the comp and squatting every session, with 18" DL every 3rd session.

If I were you train the deadlift as you said over two sessions then do your other Events that you have to do, so the more practice in those events then thebetter you will be at them IMO I used this to a good effect

I don't know why but i love battling with an axle, every reps a wrestle and when i get it in the air, it gives me a sense of triumph, more so than any other bit of kit.

So hopefully hit 105kg next week and 110kg the week after. Fingers crossed.

wales Member 1058, 5361 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 294 654.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq	Wed Sept' 1st Speed Squats 60 x 8 (deep) 90 x 6 Working sets to a box 120 x 3 130 x 3 135 x 3 135 x 3 135 x 3 Bench Press 60 x 8 90 x 4 110 x 2 120 x 2 120 x 2 120 x 2 GHR 4 x 12 BB Curls 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 Weighted sit-ups 15kg 3 x 25 1k run Bit unsure about the speed squats never done them before so didn't know what weight/set/rep range to use and only used a box when looking on you tube and seeing that all the ones on there were down to a box. Weight didn't feel too bad nut unsure about the wether to do more sets of lower reps or visa versa?
