My Stronglift 5x5 LOG

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

Check this out mate and see what you think...



I filmed this video a few months back, there's an hours worth of deadlifting that's been cut down to a little over 11mins. I talk you through how I work through sets, how to structure your warmups sets in terms of reps and then we get into the bigger weights. I finished up on pulling 440lb (a little over 3 x bw) off a couple of 20kg plates

Hey mate, check bottom of page 3. I gave my input but you may have missed it

Another thing I have found really useful is rather than thinking of the DL as a pull, imagine it as a pressing movement.
Next time you deadlift, imagine trying to push/drive your feet down into the floor. Once the bar is off the floor you'll be surprised at how much extra power this gives you.

Thanks for the amazing tips i am trying to soak in every word of it and maybe i should put up a small note on the leg drive thing so i always keep it in mind , i will try a slightly lower hip position in my next workout and will try and get the video for the same as well hopefully that will give me a better picture of what suits me better . Once again thanks for checking it out and you really rocked the 200kg Dead ! That is a huge no for anyone .
No mate i did not miss your feedback i started cheking out that monster video of you DeadLifting 200kgs

Haha, well I was pulling from a couple of plates. Still gotta work up being able to pull that weight from the floor, I have a meet in 1.5wks time so I reckon have about a 190kg in me right now, maybe 192.5kg if I'm really having a good day.

Looking forward to seeing your next video, keep up with the training.

Damn i have to miss my Stronglifts workout it seems this week , the hotel i am staying till weekend has only Dumbells and machines . no barbells so instead of trying to use dumbells for squats and deadlifts i'd rather do a small cardio session with a mix circuit workout kinda thing running through all the machines just to keep the body worked up , any suggestions ?

[vegan_rossco]

You could still squat with dumbbells mate, it may feel strange though since you've been using smith, why not try some dumbbell shoulder presses or bench

DB lunges are pretty good.

Dumbbell deadlifts are great as well.

Try one leg squats in your hotel, start against the wall before you try doing them standing though haha.

Okay so did a light workout some cross trainer , over 50 Push ups and just to give in a cheat workout i'd say i did some biceps curls and triceps extensions but with a very light weight . Will get back to my Stronglift workout on Monday where its a 50 kg Deads Day ( without barbell ) and have to try and recover from the stalled overhead press from last workout .
Enjoy your sunday everyone

WEEK 6
WORKOUT #14 B

SQUATS
1x5x Empty Barbell . 1x5x20kgs , 1x5x30kgs
5x5x42.5 kgs

OVERHEAD PRESS
5X5x20 kgs

DEADLIFT
1X5X20 , 1X5X30
1X5X50 kgs


I was having some trouble with the Overhead Press specially for the last 2 reps so for my 4th and 5th set i asked for a spot and i could complete my 5 reps easily .The Spotter just gave the initial push from the bottom position and i completed the rep from there . So now just a quick question or an opinion i'd say is it okay to lift with a light Support in OHP for a last set or two increasing weight every workout or simply repeat the same weight till i can get through all the weights comfortably myself ??

Here's the Deadlift video from today's workout , Total 67kgs ( 50kgs Plates + 17kgs Barbell ) , the entire set was going smooth until some jackass came right in front of me to pick up some plates i really wanted to give him left and right over there but decided to let go , you can see him in the end of the vid . Feedbacks feebacks now !

Good form mate, getting heavy now eh? :p how come you don't count the weight of the bar? Oh and that guy that walks in front of you is a bloody idiot, had similar problems with people in my gym before.
As for the shoulder press, I would say a light spot was fine, I use dumbbells for this and its quite difficult to get into lifting position when they're heavy so a spotter is essential.
Take care bud
