Hey guys,

Current on stronglifts 5x5. Will most likely reach 1xBW on the squat by the end of next week. I just realized that I had to start with 40kg on the deadlift and increase by 5kg each time I deadlift. I started with an empty bar and progressively added half of that each time, similar to the other workouts. D: Omg what a horrible mistake. No wonder the deadlifts felt easy.

What should I do now to let the deadlifts catch up with my squats in terms of adding the weight?

great question. my deadlift is lagging behind as well. but I'm lifting as much as I can now. TBH u should try to use 20kg weight plates, so ur total weight will be 20+20+20 = 60kg. Cuz thats the ideal height for the bar to be from the ground.. but also dont add drastically. Lets say last deadlift workout u did 40kg. next day of deadlift workout start warming up with good mornings, stretch your hams, glutes,quads.. Continue the warm up with heavier sets, until u eventually feel its getting a bit hard and let that be the work set of the day. IMO its just my 2 cents and what I would do, but I hold no responsibility whether it is the right way or not.

example
1 x as much stretching as you need.
1 x 5 40kg
1 x 5 50kg
1 x 5 60kg - starting to feel really hard to lift
1 x 4 65kg - failure
(If by any point you feel it is getting really hard to lift,grip failing or whatsoever - thats your workset)

Attempt that weight again the next time u deadlift, should be able to do 1x5, then can continue adding 5kg progressively or 2.5kg progressively

PB: haahha not directly failure, like do until I feel that my explosiveness in jumps are weakening.

Hmm, sounds good. Thanks!
