Congrats on the PB!
An hour of deadlifts, way to get injured really as the small muscles tire more easily... not an issue maybe if it's very light, but once you go towards true PBS, I may just wear and tear you [shit ex-powerlifters say]
Warmups on empty bar are a waste of time imho, you need to feel the weight a little bit. In my case, I start with around bodyweight on deadlift, and 65% on bench/squat.
Then the jumps depend on what you try to do. For 5X5 you don't jump as much, as your last set weight is lower.
It's about 110 KG on deadlift for me, so say 60-80-90-100-110
For a double where I end at 140, it's more like 60-80-100-120-140
JWestland-
It's not a normal session and I felt alright so I'm happy with did mostly deads as it's one exercise I don't get confused about left and right or this leg here or that arm and that weight over there or this one up down left right two more sets of five no four how many arrgh.
I don't think I've ever started on bodyweight, always with some weight, but not 90-odd kg.
I don't think I could bench 65% of my BW at all let alone for a warmup :S I've never done any big bench lifts though, just lots of reps with small weights.
What do you mean a 'double'?
hippy
Yeah, but I'm an idiot and now I've seen some guy doing 3xBW that seems like something to have a crack at :D
Today I started with maybe 20 on the bar, doing sets of 10s, going up each set from there. It dropped to sets of 5s when I got near my previous best. But bare in mind my previous 'best' is still 5 reps of what I can do, quite comfortably. None of my lifting thus far has involved me testing my 1RM potential. I'd like to keep it that way because the last I need is a gym injury that messes with bike training.
