P.S must learn to deadlift Member 3457, 700 posts SQ 230, BP 180, DL 235 645.0 kgs @ 148.5kgs UnEq	Its passable Jack and that's about all I can say about it, very low on confidence with my deads at the moment, I set my PB within a few months of starting deadlifting and its stayed there since, think ill have another blast on saturday and see what level I'm at regarding a PB, if I could do 200 I'd be reasonably happy!

in real life im massive like big fridge Member 1317, 7144 posts SQ 220, BP 147.5, DL 290 657.5 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq	im not one for advice sluggers but i wud suggest 5's mate 8sets of 140x5 wud serve better than 8x160x2 i had ste form on my deadlift for ages but refused to lower the training weight this was a stty idea until i lowered the weights and built upto a big 3 or 5 start at 60 and do 10kg increments upto 150-160 for 5 or 3 after looking at your vids the other day i think less weight more reps would suit yourself jus my opinion

I train at northern fitness in linthwaite mate, no strongman gear but it suits well enough at the moment. I'm not going to wembley but a lot off lads I know are, I'm a liverpool fan so am only really a fair weather town fan. You could well be right V man, ill finish up this cycle which will be 8 x 3 at the last week, then see where I am. I've been looking at the coan routine, don't really want to keep chopping and changing if I can help it, going to have an eztra deads session tomorrow, and try and work on my address position and keeping my hips down to utilise my leg strength.

A reasonable session, felt stiff as a board before I started so fairly happy. Would have tried more on the 180's but wasn't too keen without a spotter!
