Deadlift Form
Hey All - been a while since I have been on, ope everyone is doing well. I took a couple videos of myself deadlifting, and I would love to get some feedback on my form. I had been noticing that my form was breaking down a little once I hit the high 200s/low 300s. Looking at the video, it looks like ...

Re: bench press question
I can't imagine the second version (pushing together working). I think if it like a squat, where they say you should try to pull the graound apart with your feet.
Thats my two cents.

Stephen, sorry if I wasn't clear - De Franco recommended that for football players. Because of the lack of (quality) material out there for rugby I tend to look at a lot of material that is out there for football players and tweak it. 80 minutes of rugby will put a hell of a beating on you, so the m...

Football players are too beaten up from the game to crawl out of bed on Monday, much less do a heavy workout. By the time they recover from the beating, it's mid week - and time to prepare for the next game Interesting comment - one of the reason I had thought about programming my heavy work on the...

A lot too think about here, thanks all for your feedback! I agree with the "not too heavy" comments, which is why I was thinking of sticking with a 5/3/1 variant, since you never really get close to your max. I like the idea of adding some Olympic style lifts, though they have never been a part of m...

Squats or Deadlifts for in-season
Hey All - I am int he middle of my deload week, and we started rugby training this week. Its an amateur mens league, but we train hard two days a week, and have matches or tournaments on weekends. I was initially going to stick with 5/3/1 through the season except doing one big lift a day instead of...

So this week was also a mess - I ended up lifting way more than i was supposed to on Military Presses on Saturday, because apparently I suck at math. But I will probably reset my MP as though these were my three day numbers and go on to my 531 day at the higher weight. Also totally guesstimated my T...

I actually like the way you thought this out. I am actually in the same boat with my rugby season starting in the next couple weeks. I am going back and forth between doing something like what you have outlined (using 5/3/1 on the main lifts), and just doing the main lifts and supplementing with com...
