Once I started low bar squatting and upped my frequency to squatting 3-4 times a week, I found that my deadlift started to drastically increase. I noticed this even when I traveled to my hometown to visit family, where there are literally no gyms that will allow deadlifts. I was lucky if I was deadlifting 4 times a month, where as before this, I'd hit a plateau while deadlifting 2 times a week. I have a squat technique that is similar to layne norton and I pull sumo. When I look at pictures and videos of myself squatting I pause the video at the very bottom of my squat and every time I look at it, the position that my body is in is similar to the position of a snatch grip deadlift. Meaning that you are much more bent over and that your hip joint is below the knee. Not sure if this makes sense or not but I guess what I'm trying to say is that when you squat with a technique similar to layne norton, you are essentially killing two birds with one stone if you are also a sumo puller. I feel that if you are squatting with a moderately wide low bar technique with a good bit of forward lean then you are able to dedicate a higher frequency of training to the squat while still gaining a great amount of strength on the sumo deadlift, even though you are only training it only or sometimes twice weekly. I think this is simply due to thier similarities. With that being said, I am in no way trying to say that everyone should squat like layne, I'm just citing his technique as an example because it is similar to mine. If anyone understands what I'm trying to say please chime in and give your thoughts. I know this doesn't directly correlate to the message of the video, but I find this topic quite interesting. Thanks.
@Jcream101 lol just because someone can lift better than you does not mean they are on PEDs, the guy has been training for 4 years and is 160 pounds, unless he is super short his issue is clearly related to him being skin and bones, no wonder he can't match her DL.
I thought this was going to be about how to program high frequency, not about transitioning. Do you have a video about how to program this style of training?
How do you incorporate deadlifting into a high frequency program? They are supposed to be incredibly draining. Would you just use variations like stiff leg/Romanian/single leg? How about the snatch grip?
I have been thinking of going to higher frequency training. I have 30 years experience. The only thing is I am 65 years old and wonder how much it would benefit me, and worry about recovery. Currently I squat and bench twice a week and deadlift once.
General rule of thumb: add a day of frequency per week, see how you respond. Initially, wait a few weeks with the same frequency. If you're able to adapt within about 4-5 weeks then it may be sustainable
I also train with a relatively high frequency (3xSQ, 3xBP, 2xDL) but I´m also relatively weak. My gym friends alwaya´s say to me that i can´t get stronger because my muscles ans my nervouse system don´t have enough time to recover. what is your opinion?
We are all going to get stronger from different types of training. Determining what training is most effective for YOU is really important. We see some lifters NEED a high frequency, while others need a low frequency. There is a good degree of difference here. Which is why we promote individualized training. The thing that does hold true for all people who lift, you need recovery. The process of adaptations is (in short) - inducing stress, recovery from stress, and progress. If a person is not recovering from the stressor, they will not be able to adapt and get stronger. Recovery can be impacted in a few different ways. Training with the wrong frequency is one of those variables that impact things. Nutrition, sleep, volume, life stress, etc are all also factors that play into this. A way to check something like this would be to experiment with a lower-frequency training plan and see how you respond. Better, same, worse? Let that guide you towards an answer that fits how you respond.
When competitors deadlift in a meet are they allowed to throw thier hips into it like the first lady in this vid? I've seen ppl get red lighted and some white lighted in the usapl when they did the hip thing but I never knew if it was bc of the hip thrust
As long as they aren't using their legs to assist the pull and there isn't any downward movement of the bar after the initial pull- they should be white lighted.
Reactive Training Systems I don't get it, you can't deadlift without legs. Is it that you can't "rest" the bar on your knees? I'm just an average lifter atm help a noob out
how old can a person be to do this training system for example age 50. would this be to much for an old guy to get stronger can he recover and get stronger.
+Alex Sutton When we say "w/belt" we just mean it's the competition lift. If it's not a competition lift we give the lifter the option to wear one or not if they need it for safety reasons.

The girl reaping 405 is an amazing display of strength. Greeting video, thanks.
Ben Graf sadly she’s stronger than me on deadlift!

Thanks.
Was too focused on fuck-tonne of weight being lifted had to rewatch the video for the info.
Thanks for this, especially showing folks with great form, and women handling some serious weights.
1:46 If she can DL 405 for reps and I can't do that even once, should I quit lifting?
Kevin R. Serrano nah u shouldn't. But you should ask why you can't lol. What's ur weight, age, experience, gender?
167 lbs 24 years old male been training for like 4 years now.
I've been plateaud for a while now.
What are your lifts and how tall are you? And which program do you do?

you just increase the frecuency gradually, your body should end up adapting
Mike do you recommend for a novice lifter starting strength or your RTS program? Looking to get into powerlifting with a sub 1000lb total...thank you!
Can you expand on why the transition was so difficult? Is there something you think you could have done that would have prevented the false starts?

+Reactive Training Systems Thanks Mike.
@@Senseial is it like pavel tsatsouline pttp
So what's your definition of high frequency and how do you transition?
I also train with a relatively high frequency (3xSQ, 3xBP, 2xDL) but I´m also relatively weak. My gym friends alwaya´s say to me that i can´t get stronger because my muscles ans my nervouse system don´t have enough time to recover. what is your opinion?

@@ReactiveTrainingSystems wow i´m greatful for this detailed answer. i will experiment and see what works.

+Reactive Training Systems edit: as long as they aren't supporting the bar with the legs.

Oscar Stenberg right
thanks

What NIFS was that?
Can you explain why you specify lifters lift "with belt" or "Without belt"? To me doesn't seem to make much difference....
+Alex Sutton When we say "w/belt" we just mean it's the competition lift. If it's not a competition lift we give the lifter the option to wear one or not if they need it for safety reasons.
That bryce kid is strong wow
