It was a ME or Max Effort night for legs. I usually pair that night with have deadlift work. SO I get in there and just realize that this is the lifting that I want. I do not care about anything else but increaseing my Big 3. I only hit 335x1 last night, a misjudgement on getting 3 sets of 6 before dropping to 3 reps at 315. I should have done one set of 6 2-3 of 3 and then hit the singles. I still managed a great leg workout. Then it was off to deadlifts and the reason for this post. I love the deadlift. I do not care that my bench is lagging behind, or that my squat is 455 for a max. I yearn to pull that weight. The plan was to hit 500 by june 30th. I know want to hit 550 by that point. My max right now is 475. SO it is a very steep hill to reach 550. Why so much focus on the deadlift? I can only say that in my life I was only better at reading a book. I could read faster and read more than anyother kid I knew, that was my claim to fame. I know feel that with the deadlift I have something that few people reach or care to reach. I feel that I can finally beat Meanace3000 in deadlifts (even if he lifts them funny):big_smile:. I want it all! I want to push that part of my lifting till I reach the 1000lb mark!

Word of caution....just dont' push yourself too hard or you'll end up like me lol. But a suggestion, I liek to do dls....after speed squats....my legs are warmed up....but not completly taxed. The 1st 4-5 sets of dls I try to pull with "speed" doing 10 singles.... I finally pulled 405.....which was a milestone for me...since that is what broke me.....literally.

Then once I hit that again 500 is right around the corner! -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! The Men and Boys are Separated by one thing: The Squat Cage! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
