nice deadlift #'s and good job on deadlift overload with rack pulls. Get you ready for pulling big weight from the ground

that is the plan!

I think I need to lower the catch bar one notch?? I was only lifting the weight a few of inches.

 

[bwrag]

You could try and stick with the same weight and once you get them all go down a pin till your eventually pulling 505 from the floor.

sounds like a great idea! When you mean get all of them you mean ten reps?

 

[bwrag]

not necessarily. I think 5 reps is a good goal for deadlifts

 

[davegmb]

Strong rack pulls jag, but as far as people saying they help with deads, I don't think that's the case.

 

[jagbender]

5 reps !

 

[x~factor]

Deadlift scares me. I can't even imagine doing 500 lbs of it!

 

[katt]

we always do the rack deads with the bar set right at or right below the knee.. not sure where I saw that at, but either way I love that exercise!

next time I do deadlifts I am going to do 5 rep sets and go as far as I can without the rack. then I am dropping the bars one notch to get "at" knee level and see how heavy I can go.

Bwrag had a good idea to keep dropping the bars as I gain strength.

I can definatly feel it today, a good sore and no pain, that is awesome!

Rack deads make me feel strong LOL

did you drink the vodka straight

 

[jagbender]

did you drink the vodka straight

on the rocks

I don't drink anymore as a general rule. But I have been stressed out and I think my Doc has my Estrdiol bottomed out with 1 mg Adex 3 X a week.
going to see the Doc tomorrow to talk about it. I went from 0 adex to 3 mg a week? I am only pinning 140 mg test C a week and estradiol has gone up since starting TRT started around 32 before TRT 3 months 47 6 months 72

I wanted to start taking Adex when I reached 47 like .25 twice a week.

Tomorrow I am hoping that My doc will agree with me and lower my dose.

I am tired as crap and a total bitch right now. With the stress from work I went to the store and got some vodka the other night!

I need to find the sweet spot for Adex and I am thinking .25mg , 3X a week
