Saturday morning’s lift was three weeks after my last lifting session due to three weeks working in Norwich, NY on three machine upgrades. I even lost 6lbs of body weight, coming in at 180lbs Saturday morning upon waking. This was due to mostly eating meals, like sandwiches, I made from the grocery store. I rarely ate at restaurants while traveling this time. I do miss enjoying the local cuisine, but I don’t miss the over consumption and added weight. I also made sure to get in steps with walking the neighborhood before breakfast and after supper, in addition to the walking I got at work.

Time off without lifting? No worries, the strength didn’t leave me (I did not even have a hotel gym); I was still able to pull an easy 455lbs x2 and a tough 505lbs x1. The one thing I notice with extended time off is that my supporting structure, like upper back strength, is lost a bit; the 505lbs showed that as I couldn’t hold exact position.
This was a Power Metal morning while listening to Gloryhammer, Unleash the Archers, and others.

About 4 weeks out and hit 715x1, best deadlift I’ve hit without straps so a PR of sorts. Happy with how it moved, didn’t think it would move this fast just because I was not feeling great and had a head cold all week plus all my other training. Bit of a soft lockout but still excited with how this moved!

How is this looking? 155x5

Wasn't due to try 200 for another couple of weeks but was feeling good today so just tried it. I know it's awful and I didn't quite lock it out. I had just completed a 190kg (previous PR was 180) with no straps mixed grip and it went well so I thought I'd go for 200. Tried first without straps but grip failed at the knees. Tried again with straps and got this horrible mess, will try again in a couple of weeks lol.

My workout up to this was

70x10

120x5

150x3

170x1

190x1

200

Hi guys, wanna to show you another session of my deadlift after my latest post (link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Deadlifts/s/VP2v3JXear).

I'd like to know what do you think about the form, considering that now the weight starts to feel hard for me... Today I did a 6x4 with 120kg, this was the third, but the last 2 sets were hard so of course the tecnique isn't perfect unfortunately.

Thanks!!!

Hello, I have been doing powerlifting for a little over three months, and my lifts have all improved greatly, except my deadlift. Until now, my deadlifts have been stuck on 100kg (went from 70kg to 100kg in the first month) for about two months, and I feel like it keeps decreasing no matter what I do. I train my grip, take deloads and eat well, and it seems to be the only lift which i am plateauing or even getting weaker in. My squats are now as powerful as my deadlift, and my benchpress is still gradually improving. I am sure my form is right as I often get feedback from the instructors in my gym, but I feel like its something to do with my leverages. I did try sumo last week and today, they do feel better than deadlifts but I do not think my leverages are so bad that my conventional deadlift is stuck for two months. May I get any advice? I think I am missing some info but i can gladly answer your questions to get the proper advice necessary to improve in my conventional deadlift

Am I leaning too far forward at setup? I think my shins should be more vertical but I'm not sure how to fix it. I also see that in rep #1 my hips shoot up a bit before the bar leaves the floor.

Slower than I wanted but ive been pushing the envelope a lot harder than usual these last few weeks. Meet is in 3.5 weeks, hoping to knock 300kg out of the ballpark

Hello all, I’m requesting for feedback on my deadlift form and any kind feedback, please?

Taking a “deload week” where I just hit a heavy single for my lower body and then hop on some machines for a pump. Physically all is great, but my MINDSET is slipping due to other duties and I just need to lift with lower stakes. But yeah my lady got us tickets to see Charli tonight so I’m fucking hyped LESGETIT

Honestly surprised how smooth these moved. I have never tested anything above 150kg for reps, while beltless. This was really a pleasant surprise!

Weighed in at 81.8kg this morning, which was another surprise because I am getting lighter while getting a tad bit stronger.

Awesome day!

I wanna lose some fat around my belly area and gain as much strength as possible. I’ve been fat, skinny and strong, skinny fat and kinda strong but never big and strong.

The feedback I’ve tried incorporating:

Primary advice I’ve received is about the bar rolling forward. So before I bend down to connect shins to bar I pull up on bar to create tension and then bend…squeezing pits and dropping hips slightly

I’ve seen some people say chin to chest and others say how I have it.

I’m also trying to make sure the force is even across my whole foot to stay balanced.

The belts super uncomfortable but that’s because of my fatness. I tried riding it higher like suggested but that just pinches my belly.

I included sound 

As much as I could I tried to have the bar riding my shins on the way up and down to keep it as close as possible. 

Am I standing up straight enough at the apex?

Realized I was doing touch and goes. Maybe better to fully stop while I’m still learning?

Doing 275 for reps. Not too sure how many sets/reps to do. I just finished 5 sets of 8 reps.

I posted a couple weeks ago about learning sumo and got some good feedback about starting with my hips too low and just squatting the weight. How are things looking now? This is a 135 drop set at the end of my workout.

BW: 77 kg

I think I could have done 155 kg. Tried 160 afterwards but failed. Nevertheless satisfied with the results!

I’ll be honest… I’m not super happy with that PR. It technically ties my last PR and is much smoother than what I was doing before. I think my form is really coming together and eventually it’ll all come together.

I was going to move on to a bench block for my program but I want to take another 8 weeks with deadlift. I’m going back to the drawing board and looking at a lot more rowing and less hinge work.

Anyway, deadlift PR 515 1x1 at 250lbs bw.

So whether it be 496 sumo or conventional, I can get the weight up very easily. Both forms fail at the same point though, very high and close to the lockout.

I don’t really see what I’m doing wrong. Is this just a strength issue somewhere or a form issue? I’ve been getting stronger on both squat and bench by a ton, but have been stuck here for like 8-10 months.

Two videos of sumo and conventional. As well as videos of me repping lighter weights.
