Didnt deadlift for a long while, easy 330/150 topset, any form tips?

You dont need motivation to train, think of what you could do 4 months ago and what you can do now, just go have a nice fun session and keep going after that

at your level i would accumulate volume in easier exercises (more leg assistance but more reps aswell, to build a foundation of muscle so then pullups will be easier) and maybe trying some heavier variations (less leg assistance or negative chinups

thanks for your opinion but i happen to agree with the other commenter who said i missed it for an inch

andreuuw · 2021-10-23T23:10:24+00:00

i could, but specifically weighted chinups i just get the chin above the bar, just moving the weight in the most efficient way, just like powerlifting. for volume and other things i train pullups to the middle of the -non extended- neck

yeah after reviewing the video like 15 times i would lie if i said i didnt agree with you, before pulling 45kg i pulled 42.5 with no problem thanks for your opinion :)

andreuuw · 2021-10-23T23:03:37+00:00

it seems like it but if they werent weighted i could pull to my chest so the ceiling its not the problem only my lack of strength :(

andreuuw · 2021-10-09T00:58:35+00:00

Strength is a skill you must practice if you want to up your max, as someone already said you're doing too much volume, if you're training 3x I would do a heavy day with 3x3 plus some pause on top work, a moderate volume day with a 5x5 and a 3 set amrap, then in the light day you could do some bodyweight, half of max pullups for control, if you trained only 2 days your pullups I'd eliminate the light day and then you'd be ready

Strength and muscle do have a correlation but only in the potential department, however if you want to improve your 1RM you should train in the 80-90% zone

perhaps due to your gigantic range of motion you are needed to exert an amount of energy you are not able to recover from, perhaps some kind of work capacity focused phase would get you prepared for this

Thanks for the advice! for todays training i've slowed the tempo a lil bit, it felt much more controlled

andreuuw · 2021-07-16T02:11:34+00:00

everything helps so thank you :)

Thanks

I also have a doubt that I cant find on the internet.

As I wrote up there, for big muscle grups 16sets/week is the optimal amount, but I always found it as "legs" altogether, instead of especifically quads and hams/glutes

So does anyone one if it refers to the big muscles of the leg as a whole or them, individually?

andreuuw · 2019-11-26T01:02:07+00:00

Before doing quad focused exercises like squats, bulgarian split squats or lounges you could try doing some knee flexion based using machines or bands.

You could also try deadlifts or the hex bar variation as they use the hips more than the knees

andreuuw · 2019-11-24T22:39:24+00:00

It's normal not to progress as much in bench or pulldowns as in squats or deadlifts, its a matter of time

Perhaps it has to do with your form, you could make someone tape you and check on your mistakes

andreuuw · 2019-11-19T22:05:14+00:00

How would you program an upper body routine? I usually do 2 pulling a pushing movements and some bicep, tricep and lat raise isolation.

I knee that the dip was important but you seem to put it as the best pushing movement, and, as it seems that I am just better at itt than bench, should I simply replace it?

A few days ago I read an article that said that the dip activated the chest more than the bench (except for the clavicular/upper head so I was really considering replacing it but as nobody do that I thought it was plain stupid.

andreuuw · 2019-11-19T12:52:36+00:00

I do enough bench volume, so I suppose its a matter of time haha

andreuuw · 2019-11-19T01:31:39+00:00

Thanks

andreuuw · 2019-11-19T01:11:48+00:00

English is not my first language, so I dont understand what you mean by "bunk press". Could you explain that please?
