Nah, i didnt intend for it to be pointed at anybody. Infact i deleted a large portion of the post cuz it seemed bragadocious. And that wasnt my intent either. But deadlifts ARE all about weight. Singles, doubles, triples are what the lift was designed for. Sets of 5 reps would be a very high number. I was just pointing out 315x5 is very light and very conservative for a deadlift and that is a big reason why you never got hurt by the exercise. For the most part my post was stupid and prolly shouldnt of been wrote it but its also true the same as i do palms up bent barbell rows with more than 315. Straight to the ribcage. That was the bragadocious part. And i still dont even consider that all that strong. Ed Cohen used to do bent barbell rows with 495 with perfect form. Ronnie Coleman on his best day could do 405 but he stands virtually straight up to pull it off(which is kids what we call
bad form). So i guess my point (if there is any) is that alot of ppl use more than 315 for direct lat work. Bent over just like a deadlift, with no injuries. Further indicating 315 for conventional deads is very light
Just take it for what its worth. Good day sir
