Mephistopholes Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I would have pressed first, just a suggestion. I find I do best in the press when my back is fresh... How'd them 20 rep squats feel? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Next session I'll try that and see which one my body likes to do first. Thanks for the suggestion. It was supposed to be an easy weight for me, but it was pretty difficult towards the end. I'm sure it'll be hard to keep depth consistent when the poundages are high.

Mephistopholes Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 That especially applies if you're deadlifting and pressing on the same day.... Yeah the 20 rep stuff is a whole different beast. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Maybe pull ups before deadlifts too? I think cleans should probably be done before pull ups though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Nah dude, I would definitely do pullups after the big moves. Doing them before cleans or deadlifts will weaken you for those moves... If you're worried about that cutting into your pullup power, I'd do them on different days. Maybe do pullups after squats or presses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 What if pull ups are on the same level for me as the deads in terms of importance? The big five for me: Bench, Pull up, Squat, Deadlift, Press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I understand that, which is why i think you're probably best doing pullups and deads on different days, so you're fresh for each of them, and one doesn't cut into the other... I do pullups after deadlifts, but pullups aren't as important to my routine as they are to yours. But I definitely wouldn't do deads after pullups. So again, I'd just say do them on different days. Pullups would probably follow squats pretty well. On that note, I'm going to move my pullups to squat day.

EricMilfeld Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I used to perform pullups immediately following deadlifts and didn't notice any loss in performance. I think the deads did a good job of priming me for the pullups. Now, because my main focus is grip, I train the two on separate days to prime my hands for grip workouts.

Electron Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 7/3: SS2-W1D7, Axle Axle Warm up: 85x5, 85x5, 115x5, 145x3, 175x2 Working: 205x3(lost grip) 205x1(nothing here) Note: Tried for 205x5x3sets... At first, thought I should not account for the bar when doing these, as I use a 1.5" ID pipe. Since I do deads from a deficit though (35# plates) it makes it just as hard as the real thing. Therefore, used too much weight. There will be a redo starting with less weight. Also, took Eric's idea of the sumo stance to save grip up top.

Electron Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ripped a deck of cards. They were from the dollar store, plastic coated and thin. After this, tried getting 40 Bicycles in the case, and that didn't work out too well. Case flew off, then the cards kept slipping. Eventually got it, but I'm not sure that counts. I'll try again sometime with chalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electron Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I was on my third working set and doing extra reps, when I missed my chest with the bar and thought I could touch it properly before I pressed. Lost the stretch reflex, for out of the groove, and had to dump the bar onto my safeties, positioned right above my neck. So although I was safe to begin with, the sensation of dropping a weight onto my neck region was strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
