philosophy on the deficit deads?
do you think they help?
do you feel they increase your deadlift?
do you dead from the floor.
sorry for the amount of questions, but seems like everybody else has lots of fans so I am not reading their's

haha nawh it coo man :P i got sort of a "coach" hes like old PLer 56ish 605 bp 750sq n 600 dl he helps me w just bout everything


1. if youre weak off the foor, like you cant move the weight from the floor but are strong enough to complete the lift, you need to start doing them.
(i real weak off floor, if it goes up 6inches ill complete the lift)

2. yes! more of PLing thing for 1rms tho

3. i always do defecits or some variaton of a DL what starts from teh floor. my gym doesnt have blocks

4. np man, ask away! i usually just look / follow other logs and ask if i confused or curious

i planned on going higher for box sqs but i wanted to get 390 by myself. the spot + the goofy bar thing at 355 got me kinda tired. i shut it down than.

rest of the lift went fine. i was lifting w my friend whos 6' and 240 and im the same size as him now which is kinda cool, even though we go for strength not size. he gave me a compliment

ok regarding the first post about my diet w high and low carb days...

my 3 high days are on both ME days and usually saturday with is DE lower body. the other 4 days are my low days, 3 of which i do 30mins of cardio at about 65% max heart rate.

i have an pre / intra / post shake

pre / post shake is 40g whey 60g potatoe starch 5g bcaa
intra is 5g bcaa 30g gatorade powder

and diet is whatever makes up the macros. i eat a lot of rice and potatoes. im pretty plain.

i have a cheat meal every saturday. out of the 4 i do a month, 2 are like a giant steak + french fries. the other 2 are something such as ice cream and pizza.

i weigh in ever weds, and will post pics every 3-4 weeks. every week is kinda dumb IMO cuz you cant see many changes unless its spread through a time line. i like the drastic looks of a month or so apart to see what your doing, if its paid off.
