ME Deadlift Set Up

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2009/01/04, 03:20 AM Going for a ME Deadlift Monday and I think doing it the 5x5 way has killed my ME on this lift so tell me what you think about this set up. Deadlift ME Barx8 187x5 55% 221x3 65% 255x1 75% 289x1 85% 323x1 95% 355x1 PR Depending on how 355 feels 360 or 365x1 PR (if I have more in me) 365 or 370x1 PR (if I have more in me) Remember this is not what I have done this is a set up for a ME attempt. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

Barx8 187x5 55% will actually be 185 221x3 65% will actually be 225 272x3 80% will actually be 270 306x3 90% will actually be 305 PR Attempt @ 355= 105% of current 1rm Current 1RM 340 -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2009/01/04, 04:53 PM Reason I'm going 105% over 102% is that I feel I have been cutting myself short this whole time on deadlift pr's because of the 5x5 style and doing them after squats. I now will attempt deadlift pr's without doing squats on that day and feel I will get better pulls this way for a more accurate pr. After this week I'll use the 102% and if I have more in the tank after a 102% pr I'll add 5 to 10 more pounds. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

You could easily hit 365 if you just do a basic warm up. :dumbbell: -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

coolnatedawg Posts: 813 Joined: 2005/03/09	2009/01/06, 11:07 AM i agree with both above. i would do a normal warm up like menance's idea, and if you feel the need for more reps, do it after your PR. drop to like 315 and hit that for a few or something like that. good luck
