Like I said though, six years on, I'm a bit embarrassed by the whole thing. I don't know what's the worst: > my hair > my 'powerbelly' > my 'theatrics' after the final rep > the touch-and-go aspect of the reps > the 'averageness' of the overall 'achievement'  | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 06.11.2013 @ 02:07 AM by Pete I had a 'bit of a go' at deadlifting 200 kg for 20 reps this morning. I managed 15. And, yes, I re-chalked a few times (just in case one or two people get upset that I 'lost contact' with the bar).200 x 20, as long as the last few reps are 'rest-pause', should be very achievable by the end of the month. | ||

I got 16 reps with 205 kg this morning. I managed it about 10 seconds quicker than my '200 x 15' from 48 hours ago | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 15.11.2013 @ 04:15 AM by Pete I deadlifted 200 kg for 20 reps this morning - admittedly with a 'soft' lockout on rep 1. I'm sure that there are other issues that some of you might criticise but I'm quite pleased. | ||

I'm looking to deadlift 220 kg for 20 before the end of the year. With the reps being 'high', I'll give myself a three-minute time limit. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Monday 25/11 The same session as last Monday. I'll increase the load, on my squats, in the new year. Wednesday 27/11 Deadlifts Not worth mentioning. I felt weak today. Jerks s**t. Today's session was probably even less impressive than the crap one from a fortnight ago. Worst of all, I've no idea why. | ||

Deadlifts Worked up to 222.5 kg x 10 - I wasn't feeling particularly strong but managed to force out the intended 10 reps. There were a few pauses; particularly before the last rep. I then did 'some' overhead work but had to leave earlier than I'd have liked. | ||

Do you it find it easier when repping to keep hold of the bar, and keep some tension at the bottom of the lift, to help with the next rep? | ||

I was actually a bit disappointed as I did last week's 220 x 10 in less than 70 seconds. The extra 2.5 kg shouldn't have slowed me down as much as it did. A few people at the gym have complimented me on my deadlift but my normal response is "thanks but I'm planning on improving it considerably".

I tend not to keep hold of the bar for two reasons - maybe neither are very good ones - I like to adjust my grip at the start of each rep and because the last few centimetres of the eccentric phase aren't that easy I've concluded that I might as well drop the bar before resetting for the next rep. So, I guess that I'm losing the stretch reflex by deadlifting in my current style? | ||

So, I guess that I'm losing the stretch reflex by deadlifting in my current style? Yeah that's what I meant. Even when paused for a second or two on the floor, they definitely feel much more comfortable this way. Then again, I'm hardly a deadlift rep beast like you... | ||
