I am expecting to build lot′s of strength with this routine. We Shall All See. Here are The Pics I promised and as we can see we are still in the before category: http://s210.photobucket.com/albums/bb32/NathanRay_bucket/ Wednesday July 18, 2007 Started With Workout B)Deadlift 295lbsx1. Cable Upright Rows 110×4&1Static 3sec w/negative 3sec. Calf Raises (with dip belt attached to low cable row on block) 145×18&1static 6seconds w/negative 4sec. My Only deadlift was very dissapointing. I don′t know what happened as I have gave my self two weeks without working out? But undeterred I shall proceed in the next 5 to 7 days from Wednesday with workout A.

I would suggest starting with 20lbs less, so that you can get a few reps and get used to failure training on your deads… You′ll quickly start lifting 300+ in no time. It may take a couple sessions before you get the hang of it, and more importantly, to use the correct poundage as well. Thanks for the pics, All the best! Dan | | | | | | Nathanray (Ypsilanti, MI, United States) on 7/19/2007 11:12:16 PM | | | | | Dan, Your suggestion is very on point and I will be using at least 20lbs less next time on deadlift. Thanks for the advice, Nate | | | | | | NatureBoy (Gold Coast, QLD, Australia) on 7/20/2007 4:58:02 PM | | | | | I beleive we all have to be careful of not getting carried away with what weight on the bar. The main focus should be on: Great form – as perfect as possible. Reps speed, no excessive thrust or momentum Going to failure Staying within the set range 8 – 12 as an example Realising the weight is an object to contract hard against. Add weight when you can and deserve to – not being a slave to progressive poundage increases. This is what I keep reminding myself of : ) Keep up the good work Nate | | | | | | bloodandguts (Alburg, vt, U.S.A.) on 7/20/2007 6:43:44 PM | | | | | theoretically your deadlift 1RM of 295lbs works out to about 253lbs for a 6RM so you might consider dropping your poundage down to 250-260lbs and work up from there. | | | | | | | Page: | | | | | | – Next | | | | | | | | | | Please Login : | | | E-Mail: | | | | | | Password: | | | | | | Remember me next time | | | | | | | | | | | | | | or, Register Now | | | and enjoy FREE Membership with Highintensity Fan Club! | | | | | | | | | |
