deadlift

[bigz1017]

how often should one dead lift to increase 1RM?

i have read a lot of garbage about different dead lifting tricks but most of it sounds bs to me

does this split work or is it going to be hard for me to increase my deadlift?
chest/bis
legs
rest
delts/tris
back/deadlift
rest

ps. i am looking to primarily increase dead lift strength im not too worried about squat

also is there any deadlift program that would work pretty good? i have read the coans/phillips program and it looks good

have you tried any programs and had success?

I deadlift once a week, and I never do 1rm because it's unnecessary, but doing 5 rm will increase your 1 rm

I wouldn't suggest deadlifting more than once a week and I think that day of rest right after is a good idea. As far as one rep max I also would suggest going under 3 reps on the deadlift unless you really know what your doing and your form is right on.

Now to increase your deadlift...I was given a tip from a powerlifting buddy that a surefire way is to place a clip in between each plate on the bar and intern distancing the weight from the center. Obviously, your heavy and best sets may pose a problem with this but on warm up sets and so forth I personally like the technique. My deadlift seems to be more explosive as a result, it may be all in my head though.

I increased my 1rm for dead lift by simply doing pyramid sets. Start off with 5 or 6 and work your way down to 1 or 2 increasing weight as you go. Mine shot up a lot because you basically get your body used to lifting a heavier weight and the next time it's not so bad as before. I only deadlifted once every 10 days or so. That's what worked for me anyway.

I like to do deadlifts on leg day and back day. I never go less then reps of 5 though. Usually 4-5 sets.

I love my deads and squats so I have done my split as follows. Kinda similar to yours.
Mon-Back
Tues-Chest
Wed-legs
Thr-bi tri
Fri-shldrs
OFF
OFF
Without saying DUH, I think the entire body needs to be in best shape before 1RM deads. Places a lot of stress on smaller muscle like Bi’s. Have known some fellers who have torn Bi’s doing deads heavy. I like to pyramid down with about 2-3 warm up sets, to 2-3 sets of 2-4 reps. I like to do mine slow and controlled though. No banging for me. Strong controlled reps.

I did the 5x5 workout from stronglifts for a while and had pretty good success with it, focuses on strength training heavily. Squats are performed on each workout and you mentioned you aren't much on them, not sure if you could substitute.

exactly... doing 1 rep is useless unless you are into power lifting competition. just stay with 6 reps and go as high as 15 reps to really pump some blood into the muscles..
