Re: Deadlift Advice....

Woo Hoo Last night I finally got back to 405 for reps. Yes it was only 2 reps but it was 2 good reps with no bounceing at the bottom. Well I did cheat a little it was romanian dead lifts but thats a good number considering I had a 9 month lay off, because of work, and have been working on this for about 5 weeks now. At the same time my squat is back up to 365 for 4 reps. I going for 500 plus on both of these. Us old guys get excited over these light weights all the time, lol.

405lbs is great. Something you can do to switch it up and make it bit more difficult is to try RDL's with a snatch grip (a very wide grip). The snatch grip will increase the ROM and also bring your lats into play.

And a 500lbs pull and back squat are very respectable numbers at any age.
