I KNOW I POSTED THIS THREAD A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT i JUST THOUGHT ID POST IT AGAIN FOR THE NEW BOYS WHO HAVE JOINED THE SITE.

TIPS FOR THE DEADLIFT
*TIGHTEN THE STRAPS ON YOUR DEADLIFT SUIT TO GIVE YOU MORE POWER FROM THE FLOOR.

*USE A WIDER STANCE THAN NORMAL/IF YOU LIFT CONVENTIONAL TRY SUMO.

*HIT YOUR LOWER BACK AND HAMSTRINGS HARD WITH STIFF LEGGED DEADLIFTS AND GOOD MORNINGS(USING DIFFERENT STANCES),WIDE STANCE MEDIUM AND NARROW.

*BOX SQUATS

*IF YOU LIFT SUMO, TRY KNEE WRAPS. IPF AND ALL FEDS APPROVE THIS IVE CHECKED!!!

*USE BRIEFS, TITAN BOSS BRIEFS ARE GOOD, METAL FROM FINLAND HAVE SOMTHING SIMILAR ONLY THE BRIEFS ARE A LOT THICKER. STANDARD BRIEFS ARE ALSO GOOD. INZER GROOVE BRIEFS WILL HELP.

*PRACTICE SPEED SPEED SPEED. HAVE LIGHT DAYS ON THE DEADLIFT USING 50% OF YOUR MAX. FOCUS ON MOVING THE BAR WITH LOTS OF EXPLOSIVE POWER. MAKE SURE YOU SET YOURSELF ON THE BAR CORRECTLY. I HAVE MY SHINS TOUCHING THE BARBELL. SET YOURSELF UP, CLOSE YOUR EYES. IMAGINE THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY LIFTED THE WEIGHT. WHEN IM LIFTING I GET A PICTURE IN MY HEAD THAT IM LIFTING THAT BAR UP AND IT FEELS LIGHTER THAN A FEATHER.

*RACK LOCKOUTS BELOW THE KNEES.

*ALL TYPES OF ROWING AND SHRUGS.

*PLENTY OF ABDOMINAL WORK CRUNCHES WITH WEIGHT, HANGING LEG RAISES, ROPE PULLOVERS AND ROMAN CHAIR SIT UPS WITH PROGRESSIVELY HEAVYER WEIGHTS EVERY WEEK.

*FOREARM TRAINING ATLEAST ONCE A WEEK.

*TRY CARBING UP 3 DAYS BEFORE YOU GO FOR A BIG DEADLIFT.

*IF YOUR NUTRITION IS NOT GOOD, IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT ROUTINE YOUR ON. YOU WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR DEADLIFT.

*TRY 200MGS OF CAFFEINE BEFORE YOUR HEAVY DEADLIFT WORKOUT!

*TRY DEADLIFTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS STANDING ON TOP OF BLOCKS, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO PULL THE SAME WEIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU GO BACK TO CONVENTIONAL THE LIFT WILL FEEL LIKE A PARTIAL.

*FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS. I TOTALY BELIEVE YOU NEED TO BE MENTALY SWITCHED ON, BEFORE YOU DEADLIFT HEAVY. BE CONFIDENT WHEN YOU APPROACH THAT BAR. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN. YOU WILL LIFT THE WEIGHT, YOU HAVE TO LIFT THE WEIGHT!!!!! IVE SEEN LIFTERS IN THE PAST, THAT WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE LIFTING THAT THEY BURN THEMSELVES UP WITH WORRY. FOCUS ON YOURSELF AND DIG DEEP. ITS ONLY THEN THAT YOU WILL DO THINGS YOU NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

If you are wearing a suit, wether its for squats, deads or bench, what sort of % increase over un suited (still with wraps or belt though) would be expected.

I know the importance of fit in a suit, but what about the different manufacturers, are they all fairly similar.

Nice post, I have only recently started deadlifting seriously (and that has been hampered through injury). The gains had been good and I was enjoying them, building up slowly again.

So all the tips help

On the squat and bench they help a lot, but deadlift they dont help at all. It depends how well they fit you.

I think I get 10k or so out of suit and wraps on deadlift.

I had to up my calories to over 7000 a day before I started seeing gains again. If you think that's easy, think again. And if you think you'll make gains (with or without gear) without eating a decent amount of food, think again. Also if you don't train your legs or back, you'll never reach your potential.

samurai69

Is that all? dont think i would bother. are knee wraps allowed?
