Just hit a quick "heavy" DL workout on lunch.
Just doubled 635 twice, come catch me.

Is this not just a trap bar deadlift?CC09LawAg said:
The suitcase deadlifts were no joke. I thought it'd be easy and just divide what I would normally do with my 5x5 by half. Definitely a totally different stimulus and I really think it's going to make me have to pay more attention to my form.

I only hit like 430x2 yesterday. Guess I better do it again today.

Be careful saying "heavy deadlifts," it bat signals me.
Hey Steve, so I'm in a similar boat, though less total volume than you. I'm only doing about 4 hours biking/week generally (though a bit worse to start this year because of travel) but in summer months when MTB trails open up I'll push that to 6-7. My experience has been once you hit 6-8 hours of cardio a week, best you can hope for is to manage a slow decline on lifting. Something has to give.SteveA said:
I'm doing deadlifts every other pull day. That's just how this ppl routine is programmed. I'll finish this iteration up in another two weeks and give some other split a try.
If it was your job to look good and all you did was eat well, lift, take drugs, and get really good lighting then you would probably get close even in your 40s, but it is 10000% unrealistic for a normal person who's lifestyle doesn't revolve around them looking fit.CC09LawAg said:
The longer I do this, the more I recognize that the physiques you see in internet land that look unbelievable for guys in their 40s + are probably exactly that, unbelievable.
I know there are some people that have the time/genetics/discipline to achieve it naturally, but it's definitely not as prevalent as it seems.

Fellas, old age will hit you like a ton of bricks. Being big and strong is okay, but it is better to be functional and be able to do work. Going heavy and hard will catch up to you. Just something to think about as you progress in your 40's. You got some time left if you are in your early 40's, but not much.
I'll go back to yelling at clouds...
