questions regarding deadlifts

[bigdelt69]

i seem to hit a platue on my deadlifts. i do 3 sets of 6 once per week for deads. any one have any suggestions? what about single rep sets?

Do sets of 3 reps instead, you should be able to keep adding weight for a while that way

What are you doing to increase your deadlift?

If you want to increase your deadlift...don't focus on the deadlift. The deadlift tests strength...

as far as a back routine goes i do

3 sets of deads 6 reps each

3 sets of db rows 10 reps each

3 sets of chins 15 reps each

3 sets of lat pull downs

i have let my legs go to shit. have not done any leg work in quite some time.

Exactly. The deadlift itself does not stall. There is a muscular weakness that is holding you back. Find it and strengthen it...your deadlift will start moving again.

It's more than likely glutes, hams, low back, or abs....shouldn't be too hard to find.

I think B is actually asking what support lifts you're doing for deads, like rev hypers, box squats, etc

Anyway, I would personally up the number of sets from 3. Not sure how the others around here think of it, but I don't deadlift every week(which is hard because I love to dead). When I do them every other back day, I notice a steady increase in numbers. That seems to work well for my lifting partner as well.

Did you just quote the answer to your question?

try doing jump shrugs or a jumping deadlift with 30% of your deadlift 1RM. It will build explosion for your deadlift
