im having trouble progressing on my BB shoulder press.. my DB press is 130lbs while my BB is 110 :(

Finished a beast of a back workout...friend helped my form for deadlifts as I wasn't utilizing my legs properly before, added 50 pounds so a total of 455x1... felt like my head was going to pop off tho!

455! sick man

I gotta get on top of deadlifts, whats the best way to start doing them?

Read the link i posted on the last page, and watch some GOOD vids on youtube

Honestly I watched all the videos too thought I was doing em right but you actually need someone to watch you, need the 3rd person perspective lol

The main keys for me were:

Keep the bar as close to your body as possible
Maintain a natural arch in your back
Push through your heels.

Also wear the flattest shoes you can find. If your gym allows it, just wear socks. That's what I do, until they ask me not to :D

get a good gym partner or spotter. or get someone that knows how to deadlift to give you a spot. i just filmed jeffh today so he could see his form to compare to proper form videos and work on it.

read and watch a ton of videos on proper form.

and go at it SLOW. you cant just jump into deadlifting expecting to lift the world. your back, when its not supported properly is very delicate, and deadlifting with bad form is a real easy way of exploding your back all over the gym and not being able to lift for 6 months.


this is how i got into deadlifts:

if you havent done any deadlifting before (and this goes for everyone wanting to deadlift), spend a few weeks leading up to it doing good mornings, or any form of lower back extension to tighten up the lower back muscles abit. they WILL be lagging behind.

first week, start with the bar and a 35 per side or 1 plate max, regardless of if its easy or not. do like 3 or 4 sets of high reps like 10. concentrate on proper form and breathing.

next week, add 5lbs per side. same thing. you should be able to add 5lbs per side for the next bunch of weeks. after a few weeks lower your reps a couple. you should be able to get 1 plates or more this way

as soon as your form starts to goto shit or you're working way too hard to lift the weight, stop adding 5lbs and start working on that weight for another week or 2 until you dial the form in properly. it might take a few weeks for your lower back to catch up to the rest of your body.

In 11 months (including taking 2-3 months off only doing light deadlifting) I went from deadlifting 115lbs to repping 365lbs for 5 or 6. and its still increasing regularly. and for the most part my form has stayed together the whole way, anytime my form started to fall off, id lower the weight and concentrate on form and work back up.

not that im the deadlift master champion or anything, this is just how i've done it, and jeffh has done it, and its been working for us.

how many times per week? I'm assuming only once?

i just do once

if anyone ever gets confused hopefully this clears it up

fuckin monster

Today's workout calls for a power clean.. but I really don't feel comfortable teaching myself a complicated lift like that. Instead, I'll just do high pulls and front squats seperately.

Pre-workout dump taken, superpump guzzled, time to go! :thumbsup:

Anything to look for specifically in buying Glutamine?

Would you say its too much load for your body if you do it twice a week? Because I actually do Deadlifts twice a week. I find myself progressing faster that way.

If you're progressing I dont see a problem

keep doing whatever works for you.

i dont think i can do DLs twice a week as it takes 2-3 days for me to recover from them, and then another 2-3 days to recover from squats. if i squatted or DLed twice a week id never be able to shit. haha

I stopped taking it didn't notice a difference to be honest

If anything take a intra\bcaas noticed a big difference in recovery and soreness was kinda skeptical at first
