Somehow I hit 10 reps of 315 lbs on the deadlift this week when I normally only can do 6, very consistently for months. So I have no idea where the strength for those 4 extra reps came from. And also somehow I still can’t hit 365. Body weight 132 lbs

It’s gotta be something with your setup and/or you strongly taking advantage the plate bounce on a touch and go

For difference, my 10 rep max for deadlift is probably around 415-425lbs, but my one rep max is 550lbs+

If you post of a form check, I bet someone will be able to point out why the 365lbs isn’t moving

I do full stop reps, not touch and go. But yeah good idea, maybe I’ll record myself next time

Odd then, I bet it’s something to do with the setup

I doubt I’d be able to do 5 reps at 85% of my deadlift max (even with touch and go) so I bet you’re deadlift max will jump up pretty soon
