Basic deadlit question

[the.gladiator1987]

I did 395x5 last night. I did 395x4 last week because i was using straps. I used chalk last night and felt WAY stronger, felt like i could do 3 more.

Anyway is it ok if i jump to 415 and not 405, my buddy didnt have to repeat 395 like i did and i wanna stay with him, but i dont wanna stall either. Idk if 10lbs is much of a difference to stall anyway. Thanks guys

No lol but i do them differentl now. before my shoulders would be behind the bar and i pretty much was trying to "squat" the weight up

Now i have my shoulders over the bar, my hips are a little higher but i keep my back straight still so i guess its almost like a RDL. Anyway here it is, post #190

I'd jump up the extra weight after the first rep u should know were ur at... Jmo tho

damn those changes really made a big jump for... I got step my game up, still got u in the bench tho... So don't go changing that up jus yet lol

anyways I don't use straps or chalk an my grips solid... Hmmm wonder if chalk would matter for me??? I'll have to get some video maybe u can look at it n see if I can improve... 1x405 after some working sets is my best

 

[the.gladiator1987]

Ok ill do that

lol whats ur bench at? and deadlift? chalk helps me a lot but if ur used to not using it then idk...for a 1rep max id use straps, anything more chalk FTW

take a vid next time you do it! Did u see my vid? did u see my form? i dont know if its the best but i dont give a fuck! better than 99% of people that even do deadlifts, which is like 3 people at my gym lol

you could try the 415, but if you dont get it i would suggest going back down to the 405...

I'd say try the 415, you can always repeat 415 or even go back to 405 if you need to. Chalk is one of my favourite performance enhancing substances...can really make a difference on some lifts.

what other lifts? shrugs?

 

[Ox-Sandra-Loan]

Only kind of shrugs I do is power shrugs, so i rely more on straps than chalk on that. I use chalk for any kind of presses, and for a lot of pulling movements too...rows, etc, unless i get so heavy that I just gotta use the straps, but I try not to use the straps until I really need them. I definitely chalked for deadlifts when I competed, but since I don't anymore, I'm thinking of switching from alternate grip to a regular overhand grip and using straps...I dunno.

Yeah I had the same problem I was trying to squat the weight up, and my hips are weaker than my back so it wasn't working. Changed my stance up with closer and straighter legs and it feels much better. Haven't maxed but I think I could get more than before.

 

[b fold the truth]

395 x 5 should equal 460 x 1.

I already pulled 475x1, tryin for 500 next week
