Hit a deadlift PR boyos (reps abound)



Maybe could have gone for 8 and possibly 9 @ 385 lbs, but I think it was a good time to call it. Tweaked something in my right glute/hip no homo 2-3 weeks back so I laid off the deadlifts a little bit until now. Finished off with some ez close grip bench. das it mane.

Grats brah. Just curious do you deadlift in your adipowers? I been deadlifting in oly shoes lately to see if it has any better carryover to oly lifts. Feels kind of weird though.

Nope, I think Adipowers add about 0.75 inches to your ROM so you are basically lifting at a deficit. It also pitches you forward slightly and is harder to use quad drive. I lift in socks but some nice flat shoes like converse are nice too.

Curious about you glute impingement, do you do any sdl hip thrust ect? Also how did you do it? Deadlifts?

Reason I ask is my glute medius is always taking a beating/impinging on the right side

No SLDLs or hip thrusts. My guess is just like me you probably have a lateral pelvic tilt on one side, for me my right hip is a bit higher than my left.

I basically did mostly two exercises using a hip circle, you can buy one on amazon. Can't find videos but one exercise I would get into a high squat position, simply cave the knees in slowly then explosively bring the knees out against the band as hard as you can while remaining stable and keeping balance, for 15-20 reps. Another exercise is to get down to just above parallel in the squat position, push knees out against band as hard as possible for 20-30 seconds. If these are hard af for you, that's probably a good sign. Stretching your QL or releasing it with a lacrosse ball on one side may help but it's useless without addressing the main issue. Can even do hip thrusts and squats with it to really get those muscles to activate hard.

I use Jim Wendler’s calculator for training estimate purposes.

Using that formula:
385x7 = 2695
2695 x .0333 = 90
385+90

I’m going to say he can probably PR about 475 right now. Of course some people are much better at reps than others. I’m usually higher than a calculator would place me.

Yeah there’s really no way to do it accurately, but I’ve always found that calculator to be fairly close, or even on the low end.

For example, I did 385×8 yesterday (approx 487 max) and I can deadlift more than 500.

GJDM! I was on track to hit a PR set of RDL's this week but tweaked/pulled something in my back on my first working set last week. Sucks but it is what it is.

Well done. I burn out fast on dl, 7 reps is no joke with 385.
Good to see folks pushing themselves in the gym.

I hit 500 two weeks ago and hit 410x6 before. Than again those reps were nice and clean, while the PR was ugly af.

Probably a reasonable guess, same thoughts as me. Probably not any higher than 450.

Knowing myself, I've always been better at reps. Also rep calculators past 5 reps IMO are garbage for estimating 1RM. If I trained singles in the 420 range and worked my way up it'd be doable, but probably not for a 2-3 months at least.
