Notes - Really solid session. Last week was the end of sub max work so tonight I put some "real weight" on the bar, in order to start the peaking phase. No doubt I could have done 500x10 on either set of squats, so the last 5 weeks of sub max work has paid off very well. 500x10 clearly puts me where I want to be for my goal at the meet.....except I'm there right now. Now all I need to do is avoid the "I" word and NOT get stupid in training. That means staying phresh.
I read in a lot of your earlier posts and in your book that you don't do deficit deads because it changed the mechanics of the pull too much and you didn't get carryover to the floor?
ReplyDeleteA high deficit will change the mechanics. I do deficits on a plate.
DeleteI think you might be getting mixed up with his opinions on partial deads as ive seen him do deficit deads off blocks quite a lot,i think it prevents him from overloading too much as the extra ROM makes the lift harder yet less stressful on his back (if that makes sense!)....although I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteIve followed Pauls methodologies for several months and am making gains in strength like I did back in my 30's,as i'm 42 years old with 29 years wear and tear on my joints etc,i recommend it to everyone
Looking strong Paul!
ReplyDeleteIs pete still training with you at all ? Man I hope he hasn't ditched.
ReplyDeleteNope. He needs to be a youtube super hero and train heavy all the time. I wish pete the best and hope he totals big.
