I pulled 525 x 10 on the deadlift today. Not that that is anything great, but let me finish. I felt "it' coming. I ran out the back of the basement and up through the bulk head and out into the yard...to blow chunks. So what does a self respecting Heavy do? Eat some snow to get the taste out of your mouth and go back into the basement to finish squats, rack pulls and heavy cheat curls. Long live the sickos!

I couldn't walk yesterday (the day AFTER the day after the leg workout), I dragged my feet around the whole day with my knees locked. By the evening I could walk with some pain. Today I'm still a bit sore in the hamstrings but can walk. Everyone thinks I'm not right in the head to do the stuff in the gym and the're not far off Man I love the offseason, I love doing 5 sets of 12 squats and then crazy stuff like partner assisted donkey calf raises and stuff that makes you fall over repeatedly Off season training rocks! 525x10 on deadlift isn't shabby either! ------------- |

Now that is some serious intensity. Keep it up.

An estimate based on the usual rules is a really, really high number. We need more data: OK, Bill, how about trying 625 for reps? I'll write a number down on a piece of paper here, and we'll see how close I get. There's a good lad. -Wayne ------------- "We may be small, but we're slow." - MIT Rugby |

I haven't pulled a max recently, but the Viking Games in November had a 685 lb Flintstone DL with stones on a smooth bar 6 inches off the ground. Mostly doing different rep schemes and drills this time of year. Maybe we can all make it to Don's house for a push/pull in a couple of weeks before the snow melts to test a max. As for doing tens on the DL, really just want to see if they correlate into a big pull down the road. Does this all really correlate into better throwing or am I just getting board this time of year? Just thought I would liven things up with some barfin' and snow eating. PS Wayne, I will try your experiment in a week or so.

Bill......your my idol......I went and had a great dead and squat workout
last week after giving blood......passed out cold in my classroom after. Is the eating of the snow just another way of getting your yard cleared off so you can lift stones outside again???

Hey Tony, passing out is way beyond coughing up a chicken wrap. And my event was a completely unintended result, but we had lunch and the kids went down for a nap, time to train. Yes, training hard after giving blood, "not enough of the old O2 getting to the brain trick". In fact I wasn't even intending to pull a set of 10 but the number 5 rep came pretty quickly and I just kept talking myself through it. Besides, to me, deadlifting is more about agression than anything else. Go to that "Bad Place" that Silverback talks about! ------------- "I am the thread, the pupil, and the eye of the needle is my teacher" |

Thank you Skull. You are so on time with your action. You don't go into a deadlift set timid and with some worry. The bar better worry, because it is an attack. Oh let me call my wife on the phone and chat and then do a set? Let me pick a flower or read a poem and then pick up something. What are people thinking and doing? I can pick up something casual that is light, but is that training? Get away from me with your cell phone before it goes through the window and get ready cause I am here to train. And if you think I am joking about the cell, ask Elvis about the guy talking on it while I got ready last week. Yea my lat tore, but I got it and it is mine. And I know in my heart the skull felt fantastic after his pull, it was uncomfortable physicaly for a couple of seconds, but can you immagine his pain if he went home without unloading all of that and had to live with himself for not giving it his all. I can't live that way either. I like this guy. |

Hope the lat heals up soon Silverback. I watched the Gillingham deadlift training DVD and that will make anyone feel inadequate, but at the same time shows you that training to pull heavy is also a mental journey. My other favorite is the Jouko Ahola training tape and he triples 800 lbs with blood squirting out of his nose. He finishes the workout on tape with a blood soaked shirt. That is pure, white heat. How does this help you throw better? I personally have found that I do throw better by being a year round deadlifter and there are some top level guys who feel the same (ala, Don Stewart...big puller/long thrower and the list includes more). I also think an appetite for that level of physical effort and the mental training to have grim determination to commit yourself to that level is always good. Food for thought. ------------- "I am the thread, the pupil, and the eye of the needle is my teacher" |

I put a home gym in my basement when I built my new house 5 years ago, you know, just a "typical" home gym....with 3000lbs of oly weights, a power rack, a full size oly platform, with a custom build 10ft ceiling, logs, farmers, "real" olympic bars, thick handle dumbbells, anvils up to 300lbs...you know, the usual. I also installed 4 speakers with quadruple digit wattage. Now the wife wants me to insulate the basement ceiling as the sound waves are knocking stuff off shelves BWAHAAHAHAHAHAHA. Here's my motto and I have it in my gym: "I can want somebody for somethin', but I don't need nobody for nothin', and I don't need anybody for anything, because if I get mad enough, I can do it myself" (I came up with this little gem while putting floor joists on a huge deck that set 11ft off the ground by myself. I was cussing up a storm setting these 14'X2"X10"'s when my wife finally came and said, "don't you want somebody to help you".......some people will never understand..... ------------- Thom Van Vleck |

I like to train in a crowd. I like the feeling of a lot of people crowded in and training. You can ride the excitement. But when I was in school the campus cops would let me in one of the gyms and I would deadlift alone at midnight. I am not sure I planned on being alone, but lets face it your fraternity brothers are not on the same vibe there. But it was my kind of party to quote Singleterry. It was a unique introspective ride. One cop is a DEA agent now and still calls me and laughs about it. |
