Once you have your feet set, bend over and pull that shit. Wasting a lot of time second guessing yourself in the set up. Walk up, bar over shoelaces, set arms out, line up, bend down with hands on bar, take the little slack out of the bar, and pull AGGRESSIVELY

For sure. I pull within moments of both hands touching the bar. You have to believe too. If you don't it's over before the bar moves.

Couldn’t pull 455 today. Gotta keep grindin I guess.

Give us more info. How often are you deadlifting? This is a lift that historically with nearly every coach or training system doesn’t work well with high frequency. What is the rest of your training looking like? Bw constant? I would bet the answer is in there somewhere

On a PPL bodybuilding split and deadlift 10 days apart. Have another back day in there at day 6.
BW constant? If this is body weight I just check my weigh ins and I’m down about 7lbs since that pull.
I think I have 2 ideas of what it could be.
1. The Red 45 Bumper plates don’t actually weigh 45, been using the black 20kg bumper plates and they feel a lot heavier. (Gonna bring a scale next time and see)
2. I was about 10 days off enhancement when I pulled the 475.
Could be a mix of both..... I’ll get back there one way or the other damn it!

Well red plates could be 25 kg, and that’s 55 lbs unless they are marked differently. Coming off the sauce will do that to ya

Very nice. We’ll definitely count it. Looks like it went up easy enough. I’m sure you have 10-15 lbs more if you get a bit of let drive to accelerate it from the floor.

If you dialed in your form, I bet you could pull 530-545 ish. That was close to a stiff leg and still came up easy.

My thoughts as well. I said leg drive above but got corrected to let. Damn tablet auto correct.

Thanks man! It’s a little frustrating to say the least.... I based my progress on my “on” number and now “off” these weights feel way heavier. Ha

Just drop them by 15% and you should be in the sweet spot.
JP1979

That’s where I’m at about 15% decrease. Been working on getting my glutes and hams involved earlier. Also just grabbing the bar an pulling, less fucking around.

Funny you say that about the posterior, because the glutes were the hardest for me to activate, until I started doing RDLs religiously.
