SOUL upon entry: Make a deal with the devil [power/strength training log]

Question: Does your diet in any way accomodate for the fact that you train quite rarely?
 
Is your daily food intake/nutritional composition dependent on whether you are prior to a workout or after?
I don't know alot about nutrition, but I would guess that given that your workout is very taxing, it might make sense to carb load the days before the workout. Somebody I know trains similarly, and has a very whack diet (related to what is known as Keto diet I believe).
 
No I dont do carb loading though it can be effective. I just try to eat healthy with lots of protein in all my meals and adjust carbs according to my activity level. I also try to get healthy fats from olive oil, avacados, fish, fish oil supplements, etc. Today I ate 3 servings of oatmeal prior to going to gym. Which is pretty low calorie wise for me but my appetite has been down as of late.

didnt drop hips ...wasnt the best of days strength wise...wonder if my different warm up played any role....will try to set up better next time.

Was really digging my shoes though. Flat perry ellis I got for sub 30$ are awesome for deadlifting.
 
Nice lift. You made the first part look really easy, although the lockout looked a bit shaky. Either way, awesome lift.

Good stuff man. You are one strong motherfucker.
 
Great Lifts bro, Can u give some stats like Height, weight, arm size ect. I dont didnt see these stats anywhere if u wrote em before. I dont go in here alot.
 
usually i am 5'11/6'0 and 220@7-8%bf tho I lost over 10lb due to a flu and only gained a few back....so I weighed in at about 213lb yesterday. The lockout wasnt that hard. It didnt even really feel like I was struggling at the top....it kind of slowed down then I tried to squeeze hard with my glutes/hips/back to lock it out. I did see the slight shaking of the bar near the top but so be it. I was more concerned that I didnt drop my hips at the beginning because that's what's hard for me as otherwise I am using mostly back.
 
Thanks guys, now I need to focus a bit on 405 for reps. I need to give Wilhelm a run for his money on this one.

I have no doubt you'll smoke me.

By the way, was that 655 pull beltless? I didn't see one and the thought of pulling that much weight without one blows my mind.

Also, do you know that you're pulling from beyond the range? My gym has the same plates and they force the bar 1/2" lower than standard starting height. Even more impressive... every 1/2" counts when you're pulling that heavy.
 
Good lifts man, im impressed by ur deadlifts at ur weight. U DL around the same as some amatuer bodybuilders i kno. I asked ur arm size to get an idea to how big u r compared to peeps i kno. Ronnie C works with about 800lbs deadlifts by the way.
Keep up the work
 
No i dont use a belt. I have done 700 without it. Though I considered it.

I dont know about the plates it's possible...I have seen people use standard plates for 1st and then these ones for rest so that they slide off easier.....so 1/2" lower sounds about right....off the floor I am good...I have done 655 standing on 1-2 45 plates before for added difficulty....

what concerned me more is that bar is fucking bent....it's that much harder to pull the weight....I remember using 110lb(50kg) plates in Ukraine and with a good bar....the same weight felt light years easier due to less bar bend....

My endurance blows so I dont know if I can pull it off but I'll certainly give it my all...perhaps I'll aim for 30 you set last time.
