Yeah, I actually trained at American Iron Gym when we were out looking for a place to live. Very cool place. Well, I'll be in town permanently and I'll also have my own equipment (bars, stands, bench, rogue butcher). If you ever want to get together or need anything just say the word.

Hello, are you still in Reno? I'm an SS coach and am actually relocating to Sparks next week. Where do you train?

Hows your training going mate? are you going for the comp.
My DL has been progressing with a rack pull / DL week split, at around 1.25kg a week or 2.5kg per 2weeks on the DL day (not considering time out of the gym).

I haven't tried a conventional deadlift yet, and probably won't until I get closer to competition to find out my opener. What I have noticed is better recovery for my squats, as long as they aren't too close together. I started with 202.5 for the rack pulls and have pogressing at 2.5 kg per workout consistently. The haltings have been less consistent because I'm doing a single set of 8 fo the work set, adding three reps makes the set seem like eternity. I plan to make 5 kg jumps until near failure or failure, back off 5-7.5 kgs and start making 2.5 kg jumps. I'm looking at competing in April, so I'll know more as it gets closer.

I hope this helps.

Silverback1371, Hi, I saw a post to Ripp where you changed to rack pulls/haltings at 202.5kg, thats the same as myself, I started on friday.if you dont mind I was curious to how that worked for you and how fast/how much you conventional has increased.

Thanks
