Thanks i actually do that sort of assistance but more based on how it feels rather than any scientific analysis lol,I'm glad I've sorta got it right to a certain extent.
Fully agree on finding ways that individualise and maximise.but I would qualify that statement to also say that some of us either train too hard or too soft.I'm in both categories lol so sometimes a cookie cutter routine is good just to realign.
I am over 93 at the moment so the reason why I asked about speed,is that I'm wondering whether to introduce plyo stuff like standing jumps and short sprints to eke some more gains.I have around 6 weeks.
Yeah I find people built to deadlift, they can just do lots, their lower back doesn't take so much of a beating. So it can help to do other exercises as well, back off the deadlifting volume a bit and do more exercises that take the train off of the lower back. People like the 45 degree hyper machine, Sticky likes this exercise called a UDL which is brutal. I don't think plyometrics and jumping is going to help so much personally but if you simply want to be more athletic then go for it.
Oops, had to delete what I wrote. I misread your numbers. I thought you said 30 reps of 90% of 1RM,....I missed the "in 30 minutes" bit. So what exactly does it mean when you say you're genetically gifted in the deadlift Oni? I mean is your deadlift weight way beyond what it should be, or is it way beyond the other two lifts, namely the back squats and bench press? I was never super strong off the floor, I think the max I ever clean pulled for few reps was 175kg (when my best C&J was at 160kg). So I'm curious about the strength of your deadlift. Thank you.
Fadi.
I have long arms and a short torso fadi, it makes the deadlift far easier to train and program than any other lift. No matter what I do my deadlift increases simply because I am built for it. There are a fair few people that get this with squats as well. To get up to 170kg, I would just go into the gym and do 5 heavy deadlifts, 5 heavy squats, 5 heavy benches and 5 heavy presses, once a week. I knew no better lol. Then I started training 3x a week but one deadlift session and I think this was a set of 5 and I got to 190kg very fast. There is a video of me at my first meet doing 190kg and I was going to go for 200kg here but unfortunately I had hurt myself (August 2012)
After this injury (hip flexor tear) I couldn't deadlift so I just squatted every single day. When I was able to deadlift again I quickly got 210kg then 215kg. I was following Sheiko so deadlifting once a week for sets of 2-3 reps at 75-85% of 1RM. (April 2013)
After that, I figured the more I deadlifted the better I got and just deadlifting as often as possible got to to 230kg (June 2013) then 240kg (August 2013) pretty quickly
After this, it was very hard to get up to 250kg fadi, and I did not get it until December when I had been taking testosterone for 2 weeks. Training for this broke my body down a lot and I was unable to beat this until May 2014, despite hitting 250kg a whole bunch of times prior to this and giving myself a nice increase in muscle mass
