Strong and Conditioned (ChongLordUno)

I, too, have issues with high rep deads even with a trap bar. I get it in my right lower back. I have done well with the TB approach of the 1 set a week, and even with Dan John’s simply working up to a heavy double and calling it a day for DL.

Yeah @antiquity mate, god knows what was going through my head.

The pursuit of gains comes at the expense of intellectual capacity :man_facepalming:

I like the look of that. Think I’ll give it a try after I switch to Black.

I hope your back gets back online soon! In the meantime, I agree with the others - it’s prudent to avoid high-rep deadlifts and place safety first with barbell lifts, especially those involving the lower back.

I could see someone losing tension/bracing on high rep TBDL. It would be easy to let up just a bit during the last few inches of the eccentric and then yank on the concentric.

But like you said, self destruction and all that. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It can be lost anywhere at any time in my experience. I tend to get hurt me rebreathing at the top than during any rep.

What torture device did you use?

Negative but definitely have considered it. I think it would be brutal on a rower and ridiculous on an assault bike

Nope, haven’t tried it. Sounds intense, though. 2 minutes crawls by when you’re pushing on the bike.

My legs burn a little just thinking about this. Is the rest at least 100% rest - like you stop pedaling altogether and perhaps lie on the floor?

No @Frank_C mate, kept moving at between 13-16mph to cool down
