Speed Deadlifts

230lbs for 3 reps. 60% 1RM

This set (and a few others I believe) have caused my left elbow to become inflamed and a bit swollen and I can't press as of yet. Taking time off on that so it can heal. Might take a week off or so, as deadlifts today it didn't feel to great.

don't be mad succio that I'm doing speed work with more weight then you do for max's!

If you're injuring yourself it's because of the speed you're going at. Look, there's no point in trying to whip through sticking points when your deadlift is only 230 pounds. Speed work is for advanced trainees and I'm afraid if you keep training the way you do you will get much more injured. Do a practical 5 -10 reps of weight and add a kilo every 5-7 days. You'll be at more than 330 lbs this time next year, guaranteed. But slow your reps down.

If your blind and haven't seen my other videos, I've pulled 420lbs. Speed deadlifts is ~50-60% of your 1RM and you pull it for speed to recruit more motor units so that you can pull more effeciently.

@rokken55: you kidding me right? 40 lbs. of lean muscle?!! Do you even realize how much that is?

[Pasc9]

actually, speed deadlifts can increase explosive strength.

[Brads1111]

Pop your hips through at the top (last 6-8") and stop leaning back like that. Just stand at attention.

isnt much weight, but technic is ok !!

[rokken55]

You are on the right track... But that type of training is too much too soon for you. Any strength coach can tell by looking at you that you could gain another 40lbs of lean muscle without any of this type of training. Just saying... Keep lifting though!

You dont know much about strength training if you do not know about the westide and the DE day they use.

Dead lifts are dead for a reason. Have you been readin up Pavel books? your looking towards the ceiling when you dead lift. leave speed for cardio work outs not strength training. Focus on strength and tension for strength training.

I didnt see anything "speedy" about that.

[Duckenheimer]

I'd still reckon 420lbs at 1 rep is too soon, but fair enough. I'm conservative with safety.
