The Purpose Behind the Barbell Deadlift ๐ฅ
The barbell deadlift is one of the most effective compound exercises for building total-body strength, muscle mass, and athletic performance.
Its primary purpose is to train the bodyโs ability to produce force through the hips while maintaining a strong and stable spine.
1. Develops Posterior Chain Strength
2. Builds Total-Body Muscle Mass
3. Improves Functional Strength
Today's #Workout
First back to my pull up program part 1 - week 1 - day 1
- Warm up: 3 rounds
- 20 banded pull apart (10 kg band)
- 10 dead bug let down (5 kg plate)
- Core: 3 rounds
- 10 deadbugs
- 10 plank bring throughs e/s (7,5 kg)
- 10 hollow rocks
- Modified pull ups: 10 rounds

Then a #Patseruurtje
- Warm up:
- 2 rounds: 8m banded side shuffle e/s, 10 3" down banded squats, 10 banded glutes bridges
- 10 roll & reach, 10 alternating 90-90s, 10 alternating 90-90s into hip thrust
- build up to heavy 3 rep deadlift (guideline 85-90% 1RM - did not happen)
- Strength: 4x 2:30 #Deadlift
- 3 deadlifts (70 kg)
- Accessory: 16 min EMOM
- 8 Nordic hamstring curls
- 15 goblet squats (15 kg)
- 40" Pallof press (alternate sides per full round)
- 10 reverse lunges e/s (12,5 kg)
Really pondering subscribing to a different programming and doing those workouts, and maybe just join the patseruurtje & core for "group exercise" since the Mayhem programming does not seem to agree with me,

I spent most of my weekend at a Beaver & Cub Scout camp, which peaked at 25+ 6โ10 YOs on Saturday and involved two nights with < 5 hoursโ sleep.
I _did_ manage nearly 9 hours last night but was still not feeling too hopeful for my 6x4+x142.5 kg (314 lb) #deadlift this morning.
Last week I got 13x130 kg (287 lb) on the AMRAP, so you can imagine my surprise when I hit 11 reps! Doubtless Epley's e1RM of 195 kg (430 lb) is way off, but four blues is definitely happening.
I'm happy to announce that earlier this morning I cleared a full rep set of deadlifting this bad boy (110 kg - 242.5 lbs total ) with a 3s*8r
I know it's not that much in the heavy lifting category but damn I'm proud of myself <3
And yes, it was BRUTAL (by the trend of Dethklokifying every gym workout ๐)
Crucial Tips for ๐ Barbell Deadlift
The barbell deadlift is a powerful compound exercise that trains the entire posterior chain, including the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, upper back, traps, core, and grip.
๐ท Start with the bar over mid-foot.
๐ท Brace before you pull.
๐ท Hinge, donโt squat the deadlift.
๐ท Donโt just yank the bar with your arms.
Today's #Workout
Warm up:
- 2 min row
- 2 rounds: 10 glutes bridges, 6 banded good mornings, 10 alternating single leg v-ups
- 2 rounds: 6 empty bar deadlifts, 5 abmat sit ups, 20" ski
Strength: Deadlift 4x 2:00 #deadlift
- 2 deadlifts @80% 1RM (75 kg)
Workout: "Swole team six" 20 min EMOM, scaled:
- odd min: 8 cal ski erg
- even min: 10 abmat sit ups
It was too bloody warm so I just did not do 80% of 1RM and the workout was absolutely scaled. I was there, I did stuff.
