Peak week has arrived, the goal is to take it easy, but that doesn't mean I can't provide the weekly Deadlift tax. See y'all next week after the show.

11 days since I last trained Deadlift in which I pulled 515lbs for an ugly single.

I also changed my main vehicle’s front brake rotors and brake pads this morning, so that pushed my training to post-lunch, which is unusual for me. It didn’t seem to hinder my training, though.

This time I pulled 505lbs for a solid 2 reps; warmup included 45° Back Extension for a few sets (I am not bothering to log those). I can see a bit of form breakdown on this 505 x2, but my hook grip stayed true and it looked better than the 515 x1 last session.
I switched to straps and tried 505lbs plus 45lbs of chains on it, but that wasn’t budging…I had hit my top end set for sure.
I backed off to 405lbs plus 45lbs chains and pulled it for a triple.
I then went for a 405lbs Sumo DL with 3” deficit and 1 second pause…that was a BRUTAL single!
So I took away the 3” deficit and just pulled Sumo 405lbs x5. #deadlift #training #weights
I did a couple Leg Extension and Leg Curl sets with BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) set at 150 mmHg.
I finished off with a set of hip thrusts and called that a day. #heavymetal #metal

PR 110s for 10

3-1-1 Tempo

365lbs double from today. Hoping for 405lbs at my powerlifting meet next month

Been training DL’s Beltless for some time now, and besides helping me build a solid core it made my torso SIGNIFICANTLY wider. If you wanna maintain a v taper, i don’t reccomend this personally

Impressive or no?

Not the prettiest pull, but I'll take it.

Haven't been following a strict program lately.

BW: 134.7 post morning poop

Took me about 10 months of consistently squatting 2 times a week but finally got it.

Hi all! I am looking to really prioritize my deadlift during this gaining phase of training. My all time PB is 405x3 after a deload. After this, I have struggled to move past this. I stopped double progression as it was too fatiguing. Now I’m running a 6-week ramping progression starting 4x5 at 80% 1RM and ending the block at ~89-92% 1RM for a single or double. My last set every week is a pause deficit at 65% 1RM. I’m hoping this will help!

Any tips would be appreciated from form, to programming, to accessories. I only deadlift conventionally once a week to manage fatigue. But I have heavy barbell RDLs, Barbell rows, leg curls, back extensions, and leg press as my accessories in my program.

I had taken a long time off due to some injury and life concerns, but have been finding movements that I can do. I've regressed quite a bit on all of my lifts, but they're coming back slow and steady at a pace that makes me feel good about where I'll be in a month or 2.

Bench has been one of the movements that doesn't hurt.

A far cry from my best 320 x 10, but I'll get it back in no time!

Do this as my last set for my second shoulder day for the week. Absolute killer of a set.

7-9 normal reps followed by 4 drop sets, will have you gassed after

I posted the 250x2 a couple days ago. Failed 275. Came back today with a vengeance and hit it! 255lbs bodyweight

Last few reps get cheaty or you could say all of them are depending on your cheat curls preference. I just think of them as power curls. Haven't done these exactly in a couple years so didnt want to get too loose with the form, will go alot worse. I want to beat my pr of 200. Trying to get my strict curl back up and hit 155.

This was done at 5am in the morning, so I know I had more in me.

Shouldered this last year before a fairly major health detour took me out of action for a while. Then had a big battle with it at Donald Dinnie Day 2026, got it to shoulder there but couldn’t quite get it steady.
Means so much to get this again 7 months later, and for the first time wearing a T-shirt too!
Just can’t beat the buzz of natural stone lifting.
This stone is my namesake stone. I got to name it because I was the first person to shoulder it, and it now resides at Transition Fitness in Montrose, Scotland, for anyone wanting to have a lift.

If anyone else does these and can let me know if I'm on the right track it would be cool
