High Rep Deadlifts 315 x 30 Reps - Strength-Endurance BIG TIME

[Ripped348]

Sorry, its 315 rep out deadlift

[Ripped348]

I appreciate that; i weigh a little more, around 225; but I'm probably a litte older; it would be a good motivator for me to take the challenge. I've done 335 27 times, but I was in better shape a year ago. I've got a video at "315 for reps deadlifts" where i'm doing it 24 times, but I can get better. Keep in touch

[Ripped348]

The bar you are using isn't the same as a traditional deadlift, even though I know you are strong and in shape. I will challange you to a contest to see who can do the most non-stop (no regripping) reps in 1:30 minutes with 315 by March 1, 2012. I like to do this just to keep motivated. Keep in touch, deadlifter! By the way, how much do you weigh?

[nilssonnick]

@Ripped348 - Yep, exactly. It's basically a version of a trap bar that allows you to keep a more upright stance. Right now I weigh 200 lbs. I'll take you up on that contest, though I think the time limit isn't really necessary - 315 for reps will all about speed...we'll both be dead long before hitting 90 seconds, I think :)

I like 20 rep squats, and have been using them with great results for awhile. However, I started training at home, and don't have a squat rack. So far, 20 rep deads has been just as good

[largeLENTILS]

excellent lifting. there always has to be someone with some negative comments. GOOD LIFTING.

[diddyxxxxable]

I call 100lbs moderate not 315. Great lifting

[NobleBone187]

where do you get one of those bars?? for a good price of course haha

[nilssonnick]

@NobleBone187 THey're actualy not too expensive and totally worth it! If you do a Google search for Super Deadlift Bar, you'll be able to see where you can get em.

[wccrispy]

Is that kind of weight easier to handle with that style of bar?

[nilssonnick]

@wccrispy - absolutely - this bar lets you get right in the center of the weight so you don't get the same torque on the lower back as you do with a straight bar that you have to bring around the knees. This is the Super Deadlift Bar - the trap is the same concept, but you're standing inside more an enclosed cage set up. Either one works great.

[rox31313]

It is what it, but it isn't a deadlift

[nilssonnick]

@rox31313 trap bar deadlift, not a straight bar deadlift, I guess I could clarify.

[rox31313]

@nilssonnick 30 is impressive no matter what bar you use, nice work.

[nilssonnick]

@rox31313 thanks man! I appreciate that.

[nilssonnick]

very nice - I've tried that before and it really works well. Great idea! At the end of this 30 rep set, I wasn't going to be doing pretty much anything though :)

Nick,

I usually use the trap bar for 3 sets of 15 deadlifts, but you should try on the last rep, doing 8-10 shoulder shrugs. You'll blast your legs, back, and traps.

[salyris]

Gees Nick! You could of done 40 at least. ;-)

You know, Jeff Anderson's suggestion of 4;1 rep tempo has been kicking my butt! Down for a 4 count and up as fast as possible with good form. However, this deadlift set is on my to-do list.

[nilssonnick]

yeah, I decided to cap it at 30 - didn't want to run out of videotape...

The focus on the negative and powerful up phase is a very good way to go for sure!

[nilssonnick]

yeah, high would be putting it mildly :) Very good for fat loss but you don't want to do more than 1 or 2 sets of it - very demanding on the recovery systems.

[bababarama]

wow

[yourtuberr]

Thats brutal!
