    Default Deadlift Stalled for 59 year old

    I'm 59 weight 175lbs 5'10" tall. I exited the SS program a while back and things have been going well with most lifts but my DL stalled at 330lbs. Using the book Barbell Prescription I've started alternating each week with rack pulls and haltings. The rack pulls I've worked up to 355lbs but the problem I'm having with the haltings is simply breaking the floor. It's just not happening. Thoughts on how to proceed?

    Thank you for everything.

    Then you need to either A) Lower the weight or (B) choose a different exercise. It's not a bad idea to just rack pull one week and DL the next week
