    Friday is supposed to be deadlift day but we're moving so I'm thinking I will be getting enough lifting in. I'm sad. I may need to load up a bar and do one just to do it but I really think I need to skip it. Due to circumstances and BS I'm basically moving a three bedroom house and workshop for a family of four by myself (my wife will help too) so there will actually probably be a LOT of deadlifting over the next two days even if it's not a barbell. I'm not running today either.

    Yeah, just skip it you'll be stressing your lower back enough my man. The bar isn't going anywhere. ;)

    Tried some rack pulls today at about 8 inches up - actually got 585 lbs off the rack, but couldn't lock it out. But hey, it's progress!

    Yes it do. I finally finished today. I'm exhausted and pretty drunk. I have pain in my forearms in places I didn't know existed. I'm actually not as sore as I should be and I credit the strength training (especially deadlifts) I've been doing for the past few months for that.

    Got my wife hooked on deadlifts today - bought her a barbell to work out with at home, and she just kept going up and up, perfect form, smooth as silk.

    Ran out of plates at 172 lbs - and she still pulled it like we could add another 30 lbs. And it was her first day doing deads.

    Not bad for a 4'10" stay at home mom, huh? I'm so proud of her.

    I just started using this - http://tsampa.org/training/scripts/coan_phillipi_deadlift/

    Made it through week 2. From what I've read you should try to add anywhere from 25-90+ pounds depending on where you are in your lifting. Most common seems to be 30-60.

    i dont get that.... it asks for current max and desired max....

    current max 405
    Desired max 600

    week 1 1 set at 2 reps of 450 ... lol If my max atm is 405 how the hell am i pulling 2 for 450.

    haha...I should have specified my comment about adding 30-90 pounds....adding that to your current max seemed to be the reasonable limits that I saw. I'm shooting for a 50 pound increase, but if weeks 3-4-5 are a bit too easy, I'll adjust up....and vice versa if they're too tough. I'm at 450, so I'm in a similar place. 500 seems doable.

    I should add that you shouldn't run the program back to back and think you'll keep increasing. Switch it up for a few weeks after.

    I think the volume of the Westside method is just a little much for me now, so when in doubt I go back to 5/3/1. Cranked out 10 reps @ 315 on the DL today. I might have gotten one or two more but I may have thrown up too. I needed to get a 1RM estimate on my RDL too and did 275 for a set of 5.

    Yeah, OHP's are tough but one of my favorite upper body exercises. I'm really pushing hard for at least a body weight OHP.

    Maybe someday but right now that's nothin' but a dream! I'm over on deads and squats but not there yet on bench and even further away on OHP.

    I can OHP the bodyweight of a toddler. I think. I don't actually know how much kids weigh.

    the weight that I use for OHP is really quite pathetic.

    Aw, don't feel bad. I've been training my wife for a little over a month and she still have trouble getting the 45 lb bar up without an assitance spot. She's killing her deads at 90 lbs though!!
