What about warming up ?

For example if I have to do 1x5 on deadlift and my max 3 5 rep lift is 200 lbs...than how do I warm up ???

How many sets of how many reps with how much weight ??



Thanks, Steph

Heres my sort of what my dead routine looks like:

(sets)

11, 9, 7, 5, 3

185 x 11
225 x 9
275 x 7
315 x 5
335 x 3

Try something like that with whatever weight you can do.

If i were you i would take your max weight and just do as many reps as possible since it sounds like u dont have much weight available.

Thanks man.

I think I'll do like 6 with 75 kgs then bump it up to 100 kg (max) and do as many as I can.

Sounds right ?

As far as warm up goes, it's relaly up to you. you want to do enough that you are warmed up, but not so much that they are working sets. If your 1rm is 225 (2 plates), start with 135 x 5 170 x 3, 190 x 1, and then your max. Or something similar.

I agree with going with the 3x5. Follow it exactly as it's laid out. And, either get more weights or get a gym membership.

12 rep deads won't give you anything but a bad back??? lol! Please. I guess it would all depend on the weight and form you're using. When I do deads I do two working sets. A heavy set of 4-8 reps and a lighter set of 10-12 reps. Last time I did my heavy set of 500 for 8 reps and lighter set of 370 for 12 reps. My back is strong like ox!

Mentzer lifted heavy. So did Yates. The premise of HIT style routines is that you lift heavy...not light.

I think basically as the reps go up and you start to fatigue, it's very hard to keep proper form, especially if you are just learning the lift. That is why most people say for compound lifts like deads it's best to keep the reps low.

Your one rep mad deadlift is well over 500lbs, I would guess around 570? You're dropping 200lbs when you do your 12 rep set. If he was to drop that much weight to do his 12 rep set properly he'd would be lifting the bar alone.

My example wasn't meant to be in any way telling the OP what he should do, it was more to show that 12 rep deads isn't going to kill your back (when done properly).

Did deads again yesterday...520 for 5 on the heavy set, 380 for 12 on the lighter set (should've went a little heavier on that "light" set). No idea what my 1RM would be. Maybe 570-600? I don't 1RM anything.

I don't see how 12 rep deads would not be effective. How do you feel about 20 rep squats?
