| Great effort bud, consistant raw 200kg+ squats, and proper squats, dead's looked good mate, be a nice yardstick next week to see where you are properly. | |||

Ramsay777 said:I would say it's pretty simple really... Pull from the floor! I have always been a crap deadlifter, probably due to the fact that I never deadlifted from the floor when I was bodybuilding. I only ever did romanian deadlifts from a rack, starting from the top; this caused my lockout to be very strong in comparison to my strength off the floor. I started training for strength maybe 4 or 5 months ago so obviously needed to build up my deadlift strength off the floor. I was recommended to do, and have done so for a while now, was deficit deadlifts (I stand on 25kg plates - nothing major) for triples, followed by deep, paused front squats for sets of 5, along with some posterior chain work; hammie curls, GHRs, etc. It's been working, taken my deadlift from 180kg to 220kg - Will be maxing again next week and planning a comfortable 235kg. Basically, deadlift more, from the floor or deficit. Hope this helps bro. Good sound advice, I was crap off the floor, rack pulls and locking out don't seem to be a problem, so started just hitting the weakness, I think off blocks has a good carry over but only once you have a decent floor pull. | |||

| If your lacking the motivation and enthusiasm its normally time to back off, or week off or de-load or whatever, sometimes a complete break for a week, but many feel guilty or lazy doing this, the word overtraining gets used a lot but I think not many realise how fried our CNS gets from hitting constant heavy weight, and everyone's different. | |||

| any reason for change in squat technique mate? You feel it'll help you get stronger kind of pausing it and eliminating the bounce? | |||
