Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | If I was in your shoes, Olly, I would work upwards to a maximum double (over 240) then drop down and nail one or even two sets at 240. You'll get the muscle conditioning from the 240 set, even in a more tired state, plus you work your absolute max with the higher set. | ||

How would you guys train the event in the lead up to the comp to get max reps? I know some other guys are in a similar position, Joni? thats what you think  | ||

I know some other guys are in a similar position, Joni? i am last guy to ask about deadlifts mate, do you have any questions about side holds?  anyway, here is my plan. I want to make 240 routine - not many weeks ago i would be s**tting myself every time i approached 240. That has to go. So i will be nailing that, often. Not necessarily for reps, but just getting it in. Sometimes fresh, sometimes not. in other words, i dont have a plan. | ||

Lol, you can try, I was jesting somewhat. 80-85% range or something If it is a max sort of weight for you I would think backing off the weights and repping out a little lighter to get stronger would be best. If its a toy weight vs your 1rm then use it and rep it to train it | ||
