Hey Tenny!this is a bullshit statement
i do deads 2 times a month
405 for 15
495 for 10
585 for 5
650 for a double
and regularly do widow maker deads with 315 for 30+ reps
and my back sucks
I used to deadlifts at the start of every back workout. So that would mean 4 to 5 times a month. Once at the 1999 National titles the late Sonny Schmidt came up to me from the audience and told me........"Bro, you have some of the best muscularity in your back of any other competitor here today". "Whatever you are doing keep doin it". RIP Sonny! All I did for many years for my back were deadlifts, rows, heavy one arm db rows, t-bar rows and some pulldowns. Needless to say I was over the moon to be told that by one of the Greats of our sport. I give that to deads and rows. Not just twice a month though. With religion I did them. Oh and I never went for anything less than 5 reps on deads. Once I gave up powerlifting and switched to BBing I did not care how much I pulled as much as I did care about how I did pull!
I placed third! Against a former NABBA pro body builder that jumped back into the amatuer ranks!!! Was not happy about that but was proud of my placing in the circumstances.
