I started deadlifting like about 3-4 weeks ago . My last workout session`s deadlift best for 5 reps was 202.5 lb . Today I had decided to go for 220 lb at I set of 10 reps .
But I couldn`t do the set properly .It was like 4 reps then about a minute rest then 3 and then 3 .
For not doing the set as decided I pumped out another set of 5 reps properly. so I did a total of 15 reps instead of the original 10 I had intended to do in ONE set . does that make any difference?
(PS: I take jumps of about 20 lb or so every workout in deadlift . Is it ok ? Or is there a better way of progressing ? like should I be random ?
actually Its 4 weeks =) and I read about stronglifts and Mark Rippetoes book . So mainly I do according to that .
main workout ( excluding about 15 min on pullups and the cables )
workout 1 : squat , Bench press , shrugs .
wk out 2 : deadlift , overhead press
and I take whey protein shake immediately after workout . Try to take in as much protein as calories as I can . I have fat that I want to lose so can`t go overboard in the calorie section . about 3500-4000 cal/day.
