Stopping the deadlift routine, the sumo have been too tough on the hips and I dont think my hips were quite ready for this type of intensity, and it no joke when I say I have had trouble walking for the past two weeks let alone squatting as well, so I'm switching back to conventional next week. Had to stop the speed sets early Because I couldnt take anymore, still a ok session I guess.

your a great deadlifter mate - is it your favourite of the lifts and how long has it taken you to build the strength for a 300 dead ?

also, put your totals in the league table !!

Thanks mate, Yea I love deadlifting man, It has to be my fav, Think I'm just lucky because my arms are quite long though It means I have to work harder on the bench. I like the squats as well, everytime my raw squats goes ,deadlifts goes up. I have been training on and off for just over 2 years, started PL at the end of last year, just wish I was in the game in my teens as I aint getting any younger

Massive deadlifting there mate. Whats your best conventional pull?

285 unequipped in my first comp is the my best registered pull till date, I never take max attempts in training.

Great deadlifting! Pity to hear the hips are getting a bit battered by the sumo, mine certainly felt sore the day after I first tried it.

Oh, and your grip is crazy strong!

solid video mate, nice one.

Damn, getting really fired up for bringing up my deadlift

Dont know what to make of the rack pulls really, first timer and they just feel strange without the leg drive, tore a a large chunck of skin on my left palm on the last set, so had to skip the stiff legged deadlift I had planned.

Vids of the last two sets....

At the risk of repeating myself every time you post a deadlift video, your grip is absolutely insane! 315 double overhand! Nice lifting mate.

Thanks man, I was quite chuffed that my grip held out.

My ocassional training partner Gary Michell came down tonight, started mouthing off about me stepping up to the big mans world (100kg class), we were exchanging some jokes and banter, by the end of the night, I have got myself into a £50 bet on who will come out on top at the londons latter down the year. A bit silly for me to have been sucked in as he has been in the game a long time, but it should be good challenge I , One thing for sure, I need to get me a suit asap
