Help me deadlift 300

@slamjam72 I agree with most of what your saying, but I disagree on your opinion on what's optimal. It's not necessarily arbitrary, there are better ways to do things i.e. greater results with the same amount of effort. It's therefore greater for something to be more optimal.

 

[slamjam72]

@julius1985 And how do you judge that it's optimal to only work in low rep ranges?

@julius1985 Cool thanks! I just did 4 x 15 Wednesday so that's something I wish I knew last week. What exactly is hypertrophy?

 

[julius1985]

@racarvalho Muscle growth

 

[racarvalho]

@julius1985 So hypertrophy is your muscle getting bigger and strength is literally just the ability to push or pull more weight?

 

[julius1985]

@racarvalho Yeah pretty much

 

[racarvalho]

@julius1985 Awesome. Thanks a bunch for the advice and explanation!

@racarvalho If you can up the gym to 3 days a week I'd recommend 5/3/1 building the monolith and eat like it's your job and 300 is doable in a couple of months.

@racarvalho You can alternate between 5's, 3's and 1's each week , increasing the weight on each.
Then back to 5's the week after, but it will ideally be higher weight than week 1 . Then continue .

(Obviously , with the 3's and 1's, you'll need some good warm up sets to build up to your max for that number on reps)

Doing 10-12 reps is mainly for muscle development, and not great for increasing strength .
