Thread: dead lift stagnant

5x5 70% 1 rep max for 3 weeks then to 75 % then to 80% .
Back,traps ,core and glutes are important also . Not many man do glutes exercises they think it's for women .

After your 9 weeks of 5x5 take a week off then go 1 rep max .
This is only my opinion

5x5 is a rough program on deadlifts. I did it twice a week to build strength and felt beat up for 2 months.
