try deadlifting. i found that the heavier i go, the poundages for most if not all my lifts increase easier..
you too, beast!
i've recently made minor corrections to both squats and deadlifts, thanks to advice from razorboy and the stickied thread. i think im moving towards the right direction for squats especially, since im getting DOMS at hips, lower back more than quads now. think i should update with a new video to be certain.

Deadlifts however im still not sure if the corrections i made are in the right direction, so far the changes ive done from the video is to move the bar closer to my shins, and travelling all the way up as close as i can get them to my legs, and hips are lowered as well. breaking from the hips and then bend the knees i think im getting it wrong. another video shall be up when i attempt 160kg again!

How far should the stance be? narrower than shoulder width?

thanks for the tips PB, great help.

I'm gonna try to explain this in words the best I can. First, put your feet as close to the bar as you can without touchig your shins. Shoulder width stance.then, put both your hands just slightly over shoulder width, without sitting down and roll the bar toward your shins until your thumb around the bar touches your shin. It's gonna be a little awkward but don't worry about it. Don't look up, look at the ground, set a Mark around 5-6 meters away from you on the floor. Then, flex your chest and arch your back, this will make your hips go down. Only go down as low as flexing your chest and arching your back goes, not an lower. You're at your starting position. By squeezing your chest, pull back with your traps(pull back your shoulder blades) and pull up. When you're up right, and your shoulders are contracted like your half way shrugging and your chest puffed up, then lower the bar back down to your starting position.

Keep the bar touching your feet at all times. When pulling up and going back down, the bar stays touching with your feet. Basically, rolling the bar up and down your leg. Record that. And you'll see a good deadlift. Follow the instruction to the dot.

thanks man. one question though. when going down, break at the hips first (like squats) then followed by bending knees to maintain my back's angle to the floor. am i doing it right? or should just bend both hips and knees at the same time? sometimes if i get the timing wrong when doing the latter it hits my thighs and i cant slide it down past my knees. kinda self corrected naturally by breaking with hips first.

i should really get that video up, lol. solves a lot of theorycrafting!

in a deadlift, the hip drive is the very last thing you do at the upright position from the starting position. So if you're going back down, reversing the motion,the last thing you do going up would be the first thing you do going back down. Imagine it in your head. And you can see it clearly. Every repetition , regardless of the exercise, is a 3 phase movement, positive, static, negative.

Positive
------->
Static
Negative
<-------

It's a matter of doing something, reversing it, doing it again.

good god. I had 1 week of high volume routine and I was already overtraining and I stop it there and that. I just listened to my body.

I don't know about GVT but with DTP, at best do it max for 3 weeks before stopping it for 3 weeks. If to use DTP for long term, only 2 body parts a week at best.

I'd think that there will be days where it wouldn't be so high volume? A little bit of deloading? No?

My body's communication with me is very clear-cut. The moment I start overtraining, I start losing sleep, extremely lethargic and i'll start pulling stuff here and there.

just make sure your palms are dry man. Don't risk tearing one of the calluses you have; IF you have them.
