Who /squat more than deadlift/ here?
I had a bad sciatic nerve for a few months that put my deadlift at a standstill, when I started again I had to begin from baby weight to make sure it didn't happen again. it's still catching up.
Current 5rms:
squat 167x5 kg
dl 157x5 kg
>inb4 quarter squats, I do deep oly style squats.
180kg x 4 with a belt, 1x 180kg raw. Squat
180kg x1 with a beld 170kg raw Deadlift
I just don't like deadlifting, and i don't wanna tear a bicep.
I squat 2 times a week, and i don't want to DL before i squat and im too tired to DL after i squat. So i usually just do 5x1 lightweight once a week.

I know what you mean. deadlifting doesn't feel as good as squatting. Are you tall? I'm 6'2 and naturally sort of lanky, I think that may be causing my deadlift dislike.
I also deadlift after 1x5 heavy squats so that may be why. I found that if I put it anywhere else it's hard to recover in time for the next workout session.

Usually taller people enjoy deadlifts because most tall people come with long limbs
T. A guy who's 6'5"

I fell for rippetoes don't do volume deads and fucked up my pulls so kinda the same.
Squat 155 x 5
DL 157x 5
However now that i'm doing 4x4 paused DL it's advancing at crazy rate.
>>36618165
This.
I'm average man height, but with t-rex arms; so my deadlift is my weakest, but my presses are good.
>>36618165
I guess I may have short limbs? It just never feels good to deadlift, my form is fine but my body doesn't like it it seems
>>36618168
How do you manage to recover from that? I've tried doing 3x5 deadlifts but my back was so sore that I couldn't do squats even three days later
>>36618191
Any vids of form?
What don't you like about it?
>>36618177
I'm just glad that even though I have long limbs I'm still a decent presser, being good at deadlift is a given though
>>36618137
Not him, but I'm 6'2 as well. I have really long legs and arms on a Manlet torso so I'm pretty much built to deadlift because I need like no rom.
Bench and squat are abysmal though because of those crazy lever arms.
Squat:120kgx3
Bench:102.5kgx1
Diddy:200kgx2
>>36618191
Well I do a 4 day texas method from PPST3
So routine is like this
Mon Upper body wont mention exercises not relevant to thread.
Tue Bsquat 5x5 115 kg (only change this if stall on friday)
DL 1x 5 new pr setting this every week
Chins 3x12 Bodyweight (thinking of buying belt)
Wed Rest day
Thu Pr for upper body
Friday Bsquat 1x 5 PR set every week
Paused DL 4x4 at 110kgs (will increase if my DL starts stalling)
Back Extenstions 3x8 holding 10kgs
Because i'm pretty much setting PRs every week, everything is really fucking fragile recovery has to be optimal (Eat enough protein, calories, sleep and don't fuck about adding new exercises just for fun)
I learned the hard way to optimise recovery on this program since I stayed up one of the days and only got 4 hrs of sleep this resulted in me having a really bad lethargic flu for 2 weeks.

P.s: I benched for more than a year before I ever squatted
>>36618262
So fucking jelly of your Diddy i'm a 5'7 manlet always struggled with it on the bright side my bench and squat are better at 106 x5 bench and 155 x 5 squat. But your diddy is like 43 kgs more than mine.
>>36617828
nope
not even been above 90 x 5 squat (ATG though) because i don't like squats, but I can do 190 x 3 diddly
>fucked up my grip
>can barely take even 2pl8
>diddlying 140lbs for 20 reps
JUST
>>36618326
Jelly. Of those numbers. Im about to cut though so I'll probably lose a good proportion of the baby squat that I have
What's your bw?
I'm 88.5 now, trying to get to 82-83
>>36618385
79-79.5 kgs still kinda undecided if I want to cut down for summer or just maintain to milk as much strength gains as possible.
Fit stupid images could be messing with my head but isn't 82 kgs bit too low for a 6'2 guy?
215kg squat (looked good too), 220 deadlift (sumo).
not really sure why
>>36618432
Yes. Yes it is.
I lift for grills though.
I can't stand squats. I'm currently at 115kg 3x5. I reckon I'll just do 2pl8 for 3x6-8 from now on, until I start bulking again.
I prefer deadlifts. I'm only at 150kg 3x5 though. Can't increase it rn because I'm on a cut.
>>36618363
What'd you do?
>>36617828
I fucking hate squats despite squatting just a hair under 6pl8, it feels like absolute aids.
They've been kinder to me lately because I've been going light, but when it gets heavy my form breaks down tons and it feels completely retarded, so jelly of people with short femurs who can maintain their form even during a max
>>36618486
You can't as in you've tried and failed, or you just think that it's impossible to progress on a cut because random people on the internet said so, so you didn't try?
>>36618623
As in I couldn't do 5 reps of 55kg ohp when I was able to do 3x5 58.7kg, and only barely squeezed out 5 reps of 150kg last workout, when I managed 6 with less effort before that. Same with my Bench press.
I currently squat more than I deadlift only because i havent diddlylIfted in over 5 months. Cleans > Deadlift. fite me
>>36618819
clean > power clean > front squat > back squat (high bar > low bar) > deadlift > sumo deadlift
>>36618586
How does your form break down? I'm not as strong as you but my knees always cave on the way up when I squat heavy. I'm also >muh long femurs
>>36618137
>5'9
>130lbs
>145lbs squat
>220lbs deadlift
>1 year lifting
