500 Deadlift

After this, 3 weeks of Quality Volume Training starting at 85% i.e. 425 lbs.


Eric's Message:



Work up to an intitial starting weight of around 85% of your max. After that you can do anywhere between 1 and 3 reps depending on your perception of how good the previous set went, etc…


You can go as heavy as you like and maintain quality. For this, the amount of lumbar flexion you had on the 500 is not allowed even though it was GREAT quality for such a PR. You don't have to be crazy strict about it but try to maintain the best quality you can.


Repeat weights if you feel it's heavier than it should be. Cut sets short for the same reason. Take you time and just do it by "feel". (Sleeper is my trainer now).


Do it the same way you've always done quality volume. There are not many rules. Long rests.
