Squats and deadlifts with a decent little pull

Bodyweight - 270

Squats -
135 x 10,10
225x5
315x5,5,5
405x 6 sets of 5

Pause Squats - 455x3,3

Deficit Deadlifts -

225x2
315x2
405x2
500x2
585x2
675x1

Notes - Haven't pulled heavy in months.  Didn't even feel "great" but the 585 double was so fast I decided to ahead and throw another plate on for a single.  Wasn't difficult and I feel pleased with the speed on an off day.  Should have just done the double with it like the rest of the sets but oh well.  No biggie.

  2. Paul, I believe I have read from you several times that you feel your dead lift is low or is your weak lift. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my recollection.

    I'm just curious what you feel you would need to get it up to in order to be "strong" in that lift. Just asking because it's always curious to hear what those who are way stronger than I am feel they need to be lifting in order to be Strong.

  3. I'm already doing it. If you saw my 675 pull this week, my pull is actually coming along nicely. The thing I have found about the deadlift is that you can't really "force" it to improve. You have to sort of let it "come to you". Generally, train it lighter and more explosive, and then pull heavy just every once in a while.
