I lifted....

yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2004/02/13, 11:32 PM ...on purpose, 100lbs for a set of deadlifts.... Now, that may not seem like much, but when I first tried them I thought there was no way humanly possible to do them for more that a few reps and a couple sets... The very first set I did were 21 at 65lbs... Tonight: 25 by 65lbs 21 by 65lbs 12 by 90 and 11 by 100lbs! It can only go up from there! -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self." Aristotle

I believe that's what how it worked out... should I try lower reps with a higher weight off the get go? -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self."

In other words,if what you are doing right now is working for you, stay with it. When it stops, it is time to "fix" it. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....
