 his poor male ego must be crushed Member 883, 6251 posts SQ 290, BP 180, DL 420890.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Focus on lower body lifts obviously. I'd personally drop back squats completely at some point, say 8 weeks out and do.... more deadlifts. | ||

 Help me rescue my Insulina. Member 5366, 1090 posts | Leg and Back days for me are very much Squat and Deadlift focussed, I do very little assistance and it seems to have worked for me. The secret to a better Deadlift is more Deadlifts!  | ||

 Member 3942, 1107 posts SQ 200, BP 160, DL 315675.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | Personally I'd be ramping up the upper back assistance too, lots of heavy rows. | ||

 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3229 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | what comp is this - GPC aren't you? if it's euros you haven't got a lot of time left - so I'd not change stuff radically for 8 weeks - just cut volume right down on other lifts and up deadlifting accordingly - add another session working on some extra assistance (e.g. good mornings, stiff legs). | ||
