Excellent work matelight weight baby!
A strong deadlift is always a good feeling
Ha, was actually watching Ronnie do the famous 800lbs deadlift before I set off. Always light weight baby!

Just did deadlifts:
157.5kg 3x5
First time using mixed grip and it worked well. Supinated hand feels quite stiff now, but I guess I need to get used to it.

Nice lifting! Are you alternating grip in between sets?

I can't believe pepole in here are DL'in 150+.
I went to the gym today and just managed 70kg 3x8
Gotta start somewhere I suppose. For my size I should be lifting loads more, just the strength isn't their.

stronglifts 5x5 is what you need then.
Wouldn't know what weight to start at!
Trial and error I suppose

That's the beauty of stronglifts, You can start with an empty bar on all lifts except the deadlift which starts at 40KG.

Don't worry, I'm a weakling to. My current stats are; DL:100Kg, SQ:65Kg and BP:47.5Kg I need to eat more spinach I think. The weight is slowly creeping up though, and I have been cutting for most of the time.

Shall have to study stronglifts.

No, I just kept my stronger (right) hand in the supinated position and kept my weaker hand in overhand grip to keep working it hard. At least that's how I imagine it works!

Yeah it's great as a beginner program. If you follow it rigidly for 6 months or so you can't fail to get stronger.
Pretty similar to my lifts just over a year ago, but you've got a strong deadlift. Just keep working at it and the strength will come.
So this swimming thing, another 100 lengths tonight.

p4radox, switch the grip don't keep the same hand supinated for each set.

Yeah thinking about it I guess it's best to work things "symmetrically". I'll apply this knowledge next time.

I might try swimming. Great upper body workout I should imagine?
I remember going on holiday for a month. Had a private pool, did nothing but breast stroke. Came back and everybody commented on my shoulders and how much bigger I looked.
Soldato
Yes change! It's also bad for the biceps if done wrong, always keep a straight arm

Or try and do double overhand grip as long as possible.

Oops, been doing the same supinated grip since september. Time to change i guess
