Hey everyone. So today is Friday and Friday to me means one thing: DEADLIFTS! I love to deadlift. Nothing beats loading a bar on the ground and then just RIPPING that dead weight off the floor. Love it. Love it love it love it. If you do not include deadlifts into your weekly lifting routine, I highly recommend you add them to your regime REGARDLESS of the weight. Your body will without a doubt benefit from adding this lift. It is the KING of compound lifts, meaning it works more then one target muscle group. By incorporating these lift, you also activate SOO many muscle fibers and spread oxygen throughout your body. This will help you increase caloric burn and also speed up metabolism. Point being, please deadlift 
Lately I have been getting really amped up from Fitness athlete Matt Acton. He recently uploaded a video on his Facebook page of him cleanly pulling 405 and 465. He also has a video on his page of him CRANKING out 495. Thats alot of weight! Seeing this inspired me to really load up the bar and bang out some heavy deadlifts. Lets take a look at the routine from today.

I started with 5/3/1 week 3
70% for 5 reps 275
80% for 3 reps 300
90% for 1+ reps 330 (I pulled it for 3)
In that “deadlifting zone” I continued to pull switching to 270 for 10 single reps with 45 seconds in between. Following that I then busted out 225 for 4 sets with 10 reps.
My lower back right now is fried! I love it Again I suggest to you all, if you don’t perform deadlifts right now, please consider adding them to your weekly routine. You will like the results
Deadlifts are my absolute favorite! I will be doing mine on Sunday and can’t wait! I’ve gotten away from super heavy for a while. After I pulled my 405 I decided to give one rep maxes a break for a while. Though you haven’t lived until you get into one of those gut popping super tough deadlifts!
Yeah absolutely man I hear you 100%. Nothing better then just gripping and ripping the weight off the floor. My goal is 405 deadlift, 405 squat, and 315 bench. Lotta heavy weight ahead of me LOL.
Man seeing your body I’m surprised you aren’t there already! You’ll get it for sure. Kinda funny, my maxes are 405 deadlift and 315 bench! LOL Never maxed on squat but I’d have to guess close to 500.
Your on that level man I need to get there!! I hope I get there soon I know with 5/3/1 it takes time but I’ll happen! I’ll be so pumped when I finally do nail those benchmarks. Rewarding for sure. I just got to make sure I’m not lifting with an ego and purely for strength
For sure man you’ll get there! Funny how strength and size don’t necessarily go hand in hand. You definitely have more of the bodybuilder physique than you do a powerlifter. Which to me is more important. But it’s fun to go for big numbers from time to time. 5/3/1 is which got me there for strength!
Yeah bodybuilder more physique looking athlete is what I’m going for
and yeah 5/3/1 is certainly effective with heavy numbers just takes time time and more time LOL. I think I’m going to start switching to high volume pretty soon though with the start of the summer shredd nearing
