Powerlifters: Deadlift Training

What do you do to get your Deadlift up? Im entering a Push/Pull in Jan and I really want to break the 700 Barrier.

 

[Chip Bronson]

damn bro, 700?!!!! 2 thumbs up to you, and not the peoples' thumb either.... anyway, you may consider trying to work some the following into your workouts:

partial deads

fulld deads off a block (2"-4" would be good)

good mornings & weighted hyperextensions -to strengthen the lower back

work your squat like a mofo and get your weights up. this will help to add strength for deads, especially to the beginning of the move.

weighted pullups are a great way to build forearms and grip strength if you need it. use a 45'er or 2 hung from the belt around your waist and keep the reps low, at about 5-6.

try some of these and let us know how it's going.

I maxed on Box squats today for the first time.

Got 505 on a 12" Box and 555 on a 15" Box. Im 6'2" to give you an idea on my depth. Just a belt. Did a bunch of extra work training my hams, glutes, hips, quads, and calves.

Got to see this to believe it.Thats a lot of freaking weight..

Whats ur current weight../

I have maintained 288 for about a month. Currently waiting on a Parcel so I can take it to the next level.

My 3 training partners were a little surprised too. They missed 505 on the 15" Box while I got it on the 12".

You guys may like this. I am a highschool Powerlifting Coach "& Football" and we have a freshman "14 years old" who's wt. is 185 ht. 5'7" deadlifting 475 from the floor, bench is pretty good also 245 4 reps. Once he brings his squat up is going to be tough to beat. This kid is just built to powerlift and loves the sport. Hell I wish I could say it was my coaching but this kid had great form the first time he showed up in the complex.

Yea he works hard as hell and is a great rt. guard and D.T. he lettered, got about 20 qrts. in on varsity. The only problem with our school is our powerlifting and wrestling take place at the same time so he wants to pow lift instead of wrestling. I would not mind him wreslting but there coach wants then to loose to damn much wt. Hell he wanted him to get down to 155 class.
