Today went down as the hardest deadlift training day of my life, (which is not saying much but for me it was). I have known this for all my life. My deadlift sucks. I also know I don't train it the way I should or put maximal effort into the lift training I do. I have doomed myself. Then again I am a Bench only guy impersonating a full power guy! But....I am tired of being sub par on this lift. I have only done 3 multiply full power meets in my 20+ year career which most have that many in the 1st or 2nd year of their powerlifting career start. So I would like to think I am still a full power rookie (with 2 multiply full power elite totals tho!).

I have nothing to loose at this point. Its either do it now or don't. I have decided to fully put everything I have into 2 full training cycles (12 weeks each) to see what I can really do if I apply myself and stay healthy. That's right at 6 full months of training the pull. I have never went past 12 weeks training deadlift continuous or fully applied myself either.

I am getting help from a couple folks on this. I feel like me getting someone else to program my deadlift training I will have to stick to it and not just let myself down but them as well. They are taking the time to calculate and put some thought into this for me so I now will be obligated to apply myself 100%. I also have to change my mindset on this and go in positive and believe in myself that I can do it plus force myself to continue when I may want to say "f#*k this lift!".

Well here we go day 1:

1" Conv Deficit Pulls

1 x 135 - 1
1 x 225 - 1
1 x 315 - 3
1 x 365 - 3
3 x 405 - 5
2 x 435 - 4
2 x 465 - 3
2 x 500 - 2

Sumo 4" Block Pulls

4 x 475 - 2

Leg Curls

4 x 10

DB Shrugs

200 total

Then I went home and died....

You may wonder why I had on gear and why all the videos were not on here.

1. I attempted to use suit bottoms only for cov pulls but the reps was killing my junk! So I took them off and went raw dog!
2. I was so damn tired and trying every way to get out of doing this I forgot of get someone to do videos the other sets.
3. I truly did not think I would get all these reps and sets done but I did....barley.
4. F*#K THIS LIFT!....
