Kind of PR for DL

[halfaclue]

I never did deads so every week is a PR but I started using them in the beginning of June for 5*5. I started with 225 and the first couple weeks I went up 20 or 30lbs as i was trying to get to the right work out weight. Yesterday I completed 5*5 with 335 and no straps......AND fromgrip strength increasings from dead I was able to do ALL of my other back routines without straps for the first time ever.

nice work!!! if the weight feels pretty decent now keep making small increments so that you dont plateau..

I add 10 lbs every week so 2 weeks ago I used 315 then last week 325 then this week 335. I have been able to do 5 * 5 everytime so far. this week was by far the hardest as I slowed way down on the last 2 reps of the last set. 345 next week will be my first real challneg I think. Man am I sore right now. my traps and upper back hurt when i type. I LOVE IT!

i would only increase by 5 lbs this way when u do get to 345 i would think it would be a lot easier to get your reps..dont be in arusdh to get to your plateau levels!! good luck

Thanks man..when i told my old partner he couldn't believe it. My grip strength has always sucked and I do not do enough work on it but deads have helped alot.
