Quality bit of deadlifting today. The DL mojo is back!! You could make an argument that this is pretty much as good a deadlift training set as I have done. The 250x5 was done with a pause but no re-set. This was done all re-set. I don't think I am up to my best but it's close.

Pin pulls were from an awkward height. Bar on the front of the patella feels stuck out there. Still solid top double.

Just finished with some light upper back work and some painfull foam rolling!

Vids are loading

very nice mate

very tidy mate, training raw agrees with you!

Nice pulling kendazoid, hoping my gym up in Norwich has a power cage. Only a few weeks left then i can embrace the student life again

Great pulling bro! I agree about the pin pulls too; throws me off pulling around knee height

Nice lifting, looked very solid.

Cheers guys!

Down at Oxford Uni Powerlifting Club today. Very nice set up.

Excellent session today. On paper it was 6x6 @ 80% but I realised this was gona be a tall order indeed.

Squats were very good and gave my all. Got to 4 sets before it was time to call it a day. Couple of hig/borderline reps in there, but felt very nice. 185x10 would be a goer for sure.

Benching was nice. Bench was a tad too high for me. No probs though and I started strong. However I faded pretty fast and the third set was a full on max of 5. Still it was a nice 3 sets of benching.

Was gona finish after GHR but the rest of the guys were deadlifting so joined in at the end!

I didn't get my full number of sets but did ebnough and was very happy with some improved condition. Early '07 when I was squating 500lbs unequipped I remember a session were I did 190x5 then faded to 190x3. So 6x4 @ 185 is good going. Looking forward to ramping the load up next week. Again I may not go for every set on paper but it's gona be fun!!!

All in all had grand old time and very nice to train with the guys down there. Hope to make it down again this end of the year.

some solid session there mate! nice vids too!
thinkin about addin in some rack pulls as well as i always used to like them.. but 280x2 is v v ncie indeed matey!!

Cheers Mr M. I have done 300x2 from that height and 365 from just above the knee :)

Pin/rack/block pulls are great. However personally I rarely pull from as high as my knees, as my lockout is good enough.

Under the knee of upper shins are a good place. If you struggle at lockout rotations of just under knee and mid/upper shins will help.

insane vids bud, good lifting :)

Cheers. I'm feeling it today.

Gona be sore training tomorrow.

Hey Iank,

What training routine do you follow? I am looking to switch to powerlifting training, but am unsure how to structure the training :)

Cheers
