Are you training at 12,000 feet?
Hello!
This is a set of deadlifts at 365x5 from Monday. I would appreciate some help.
I am 6’0” and 244 pounds. I ran through NLP in summer and fall. I began running out the Texas Method, and within a few weeks I sustained a series of back tweaks while pulling, culminating in what I think was an SI joint injury, likely caused by back rounding. I took a four week layoff and re-started LP for squats and pulls.
Things I am trying to work on:
- Setting my back in extension before I pull
- Taking the slack out of the bar
- Catching my breath between reps and speeding up the set
Here’s the video; I recorded from the rear quarter to focus on what my back is doing.

Maybe the fact that a 25-second set takes you 2 minutes is part of the problem.
Point taken - thank you, Rip. On your advice I have decided to be less of a pussy and hurry my ass up and pull.
Here’s this morning’s 375x5, much faster this time:
