I'm competing September 16 in an RPS meet at Rivercity Barbell in Newport Ky. I haven't deadlifted as often as I usually do in a training cycle, but feel pretty strong and my squat has really been improving, so I am hoping it carries over to the deadlift as well. Last March I pulled 777 at 220lbs in a DL suit, I am competing raw in September and haven't pulled within 100 lbs of that since march.
Deadlift. 135x5 straight leg x 2 sets 225x2 315x2 405x2 495x1 585x1 635x1 675x1
I could tell I haven't pulled anything like that off the floor for awhile, but it still wasn't that bad. I am thinking that will be somewhere around an opener.
Iso Deadlift. I threw these in as a variation in assistance work. I have a massage tomorrow and will not train heavy lower again until next week.
315 bar weight with 3 second isometric pulling against pins. If you don't know what i'm talking about Team Elitefts member, Matt Ladewski has written a lot about this topic and posted some great videos.
