cant beleive its been that long since I deadlifted but Jack and Pavels deads got me thinking about it once more. I've been missing the heavy lifts although I know I cant do too much anymore.

Deadlifts( double overgrip)
135x3
185x3
225x2
275x1
315x1
337x1
348x1
no problems at all. cant beleive it. last time I was deadlifting regularly I was using 365-385 and I'm not far off at all. kettlebells do work that posterior chain well.

Here's the basic plan( If I can stand tomorrow). Limit volume to progressive singles as I did today and work up to a training force max for a different "form" of deadlift once a week.85-90% This is essentially the max effort day of WSB, adjusted a bit, and using the other kb ballistic training days for the dynamic effort/gpp aspect.

The exercises: 1) competition style deadlift/raw
2) competition style deadlift/suit bottom
3)deadlift off 2 inch plate
4)safety squat bar good morning
5)deadlift to knees
6)deadlift off boxes( bar is 3-4 inches off ground)
7) trap bar deadlift Of course I might not be able to do this but If I can tolerate it thats the basic plan.

kb cleans
36x8/8
53x8/8
72x5/5x2! yes, havent hit this in six weeks.
53x10/10 easy. ah its nice when the nervous system turns on.

DARCS
53x50 havent dont this in awhile. easy.

farmers walk
2/53s 6 laps these are really helping my leg/hip strength and gait.

handstands
6 sets ten second holds: easymoney.

decompression hangs
6 sets 10-12 seconds

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
