Going after Deadlift Goals.

that's pretty similar to what i got

heavy deadlifts Mondays

front squats Tuesday

Fridays or Saturdays back squats and then a WOD with deadlifts in it.

You can use the hex bar too, if back is slowing progress. Much more back friendly.

There's one at our place. Never seen it used. I am going to start asking if I can use it during DL workouts.

Have access to a GHD?

You could switch to this Texas Method template and do deads instead of power clean on Monday.

Almost does nothing for deadlift according to all the big deadlifters.

don't claim to pull 4+ plates on each side when you wrap the bar

There is nothing worse than lifters who setup bro-rules.

It is option to help him out if grip strength is holding him back and there is actually nothing wrong with doing it. If you are doing multiple sets at a set working weight on DLs, the grip is one of the first things to usually give out. You can mix grip, but I personally do think it is worth the risk on the biceps at heavy weights. It also can off-balance you causing a a lean which can injure back muscles (I have done it).

Your grip strength will still increase as you go up with weight.

Edit to add - Hex bar is a more natural position and motion, so you would never need straps on that.

I seriously love the hex for heavy DL, but it is more legs/butt than back. Still works the back though, just a little less.

Interesting. Sample size of one here, but my GHD helped me bust through barriers on DL and squats.

But I'll never DL over 450, so take it for what it's worth.

I have m my own home set up

I judge all who enter

I told my wife I’d pull her membership if she didn’t clean up and rerack her stuff when she’s done

My max was close to 600
