2nd week at deadlift

[megatron]

I did 4 plates aside (180Kg)2 reps 1st set, 1 & 1/2 2nd set. Im a noob at this exercise. Last week I did a few sets of 3 plates aside for 6 reps, so I thought Id give this a shot.

My squat is 140kg for reps but not to competition depth. Ive only just adopted a power lifting stance (and worked up the weights to 3 plates aside), since I found it difficult to get more depth on the more narrow stance I had without putting the knees over the toes.

My bench was a pathetic 60kg last time I checked and I do 25kg dumbell flatbench. I can do a bodyweight dip for 7 reps at 13st bodyweight.

I can do around 10 wide (not too wide) grip pullups.

Im more of a bodybuilder rather than a powerlifter. Well ok, more of a weightlifter since I dont do any competitions. I just turned 31.

I think squat depth is improving with all but 160kg. I did 10 reps with 150kg squat. Failed to lift 180kg deadlift 2 weeks running for some reason. Think it might be I need a thicker bar to grip.

Been at deadlifts for a month or 2 now.

He said hes not squatting to depth so it shouldnt be that hard to believe:D

[bulldog]

Yesterday I believe Mick said my squat was "spot on" for 150kg. I might sound and look to a roidhead like a noob but I assure u Im not. My bench is 80Kg for 3 reps, and IMO thats rapid progress. U might have selective amnesia though and forgot I also said that I had not done bench because of shoulder pain for a few years even before I quit for 3 years.

Ive just trained pulling and leg work alot more than pushing previously. Now however Im even doing shoulder press.

There is a mod in the other thread who seems to know of my gym, if ur interested Im sure he can confirm wether Im BSing or not.

TBH with all the facts Im giving u I CANT BELIEVE u dont believe me. Just ask Steve how many 13st guys who train there do 140Kg for 15 reps as a warm up?

Anyhow no love loss Im sure.

lol...yeah :rolleyes: so where in your initial post does it state you had shoulder probs, oh thats right, you fukin expected me to trawl back thru all your fukin threads that you ever made just to check.....tool.

I wasn't actually putting down your lifts, if you'd made it abundantley clear you'd not benched for ages then I may have not needed to post what I did.

So basically post where you said you'd told me about shoulder probs in THIS thread and ill apologise profusly.

I based my reply on the assumption that you had already read my other posts since when I posted my 2nd reply it was a month later and I forgot what info I had already given/ommited in this thread. If I had realised what you were basing your comments off of I would most likely had a slightly different responce.

Is it really common for people to write complete BS in these forums? Im not that familiar.

As for an apology I dont need one, the world is full of rude egocentric people. Offering an apology in the next sentance after swearing and calling me a tool is going to look a little shallow.

there is no point powerlifters bullshitting poundages! lets see it on the platform! did you say you were squatting 150kg for ten reps? that would make you a 230kg+ squatter for a single equipped. if you have had time out from lifting weights then you do lose alot of strength.

I did say I did 150kg for ten reps. I didnt say I was a power lifter though; cause with 160kg my depth went out the window. One other thing is that I never have used kneewraps and I can bang out 140Kg for 15 with no belt (although I was a bit sore after). Im also not willing to risk injury for a 1rm.

As for losing strength, I quickly got up to 3plates a side after starting back in the gym earlier in the year but got shot down for it not being low enough. At the bodyweight I am atm, Ive never been stronger. I believe its purely down to diet, its really the only thing that is different from before I quit. I usually scrounge a spot on squats (just to stand behind me not assisting).

I do my squats power lifting style though as oppossed to shifting the knee over the toes like some bodybuilders do, I made this decision to allow me to squat deeper without bringing the knees over the toes (i.e. been able to lift more weight through the hips than using a more isolated leg movement).

mate I am not flaming your lifts at all, on the contrary, I had no idea you had shoulder probs because it didn't state it in the initial one, for what its worth I think the lifts are good.

[megatron]

I have annihilated (spell checked!) that shoulder prob. Have been doing pressups with raised feet (guess how), and doing 15 to 25 single sets about 3 times daily cause I've not been able to get to the gym. I copied mighty Mick!

If it gives me any more jip, I will stop immediately.
