Deadlift stalled despite doing everything right?

I do two warm up sets and then 1 max set, all 5 reps, but I have not been able to do more then 2 reps with 90kg, after that I have to stop to rest. I get enough protein and sleep, I diddly 1.5x a week.
Is my stance bad? Am I squatting down too low? Do I need to switch to mixed grip already? No clue what I'm doing wrong.

    Go to 10 reps. I stalled on 5 reps too. Drop weight if you have to. Focus on form and don't use belt unless you have to either, I was using it as a crutch. Just be safe with the weight. It grew my back too even being lighter weight.

      I don't use a belt, would I be better off doing 3x10 with less weight all the time or should I just deload and up the reps temporarily for like a month??

        Just see how it goes for you. I like 3x10 over 3x5, 3x5 felt it was just for showing off heavy weights or something where I got faster results with 3x10 so I've been sticking with it for several months. I may see how going heavier and mixing in a 3x5 goes one of these days.

    You need to be doing mixed grip or hook grip with chalk, yesterday.

    Video? And if your grip is giving out but the rest of you feels fine then yes you should switch to an alternative grip style.

      Don't have a video sorry, I'm not sure if it's the grip, when I put it down I can't lift it back up again so I think it's a stamina issue, either from just being fat or maybe bad breathing technique.

      Okay I'll try that to build some stamina.

      90kg Deadlift ? are you a child or a woman? first time i ever entered a gym i did 3,5pl8
      not even a fatty
      wtf are you doing ?
      anyways i increased it to 5pl8 by doing 7 reps 60kg, 5 reps 100kg 3 reps 140kg and then 1 rep of increases until i hit my 1rm once a week whilst i was training other stuff
      and when i focused on Deadlift increase i did 6 setsx3-5 reps 3x a week

      I was borderline disabled about half a year ago, I was a bit down and I would go weeks barely getting out of my bed for about a year and a half and it got so bad I could barely walk or lift anything. I might have had muscle atrophy I think, don't know never went to the doctor about it.

        Weight and Height?

        What exactly is your goal? If it is strength do the deadlifts on low reps. If it's hypertrophy do romanian deadlifts and isolate your hamstrings with leg curls for a higher amount of sets and reps.

              I can do them, just not 5 reps in a row, it's probably a stamina or technique issue. It's really weird that I'm stuck on 90kg for this since I can do 135kg for 20reps on the seated calf raise.

                Taking a couple breaths between reps isn't an issue, longer than like 15-20 seconds between reps is too much though and you should work on your conditioning through walking since you're so heavy.

                I need like 20-30secs of leaving the bar on the ground and leaning on something to catch my breath after like two deadlift reps with 90kg. I probably should be getting my stamina up, is doing ddr good for cardio? I have a dance pad and that is the most fun form of it I can think of.

                It sounds like you’re working with a weight that’s too heavy for you. You should be able to rest 5 seconds between reps at most, and do around 5-8 reps. Unless you’re trying to do heavy singles, in which case, you’re doing it right.

                I can do way more on the calf raise, so either my quads are super weak or I'm lifting with my lower back.

              Is that really that surprising? The guy is morbidly obese and apparently had muscular atrophy. I wouldn't expect any fatso off the street to diddly 90kg.

    What assistance do you do for deadlift? Is it just deadlift? Front squats, Shrugs, Kb Swings, RDLs after the diddly and maybe switch up to another variation for a few months as well. Sumo to conventional or whatever

    • 10 months ago

      I do conventional deadlifts and on the same day I do front squats, seated cable rows and OHP, I also do lat pulldowns on my other day.
      I'm doing Reg Parks beginner 5x5 cause I liked that one the most on the sticky.

    At such a low weight the issue is almost definitely technique. You probably are lifting with your biceps and back too much and not activation your glutes and hamstring enough. Go watch some videos on deadlift form and activating your glutes.

      Does that just mean squeeze you buttcheeks? Cause yeah I have not been doing that.

        you're doing too much other shit
        focus on improving on your Deadlift
        how long is your gym session ? deadlifts already fatigue ultra hard
        do deadlifts only 3x a week and train other things on the other days until you can 4pl8 1rm
        don't forget that some people sweat really hard on their hands and grip strength can never fix this
        basically anything above 3pl8 i have to use straps

          About an hour to an hour and a half, depends on how long the breaks I take are, sometimes I am way more tires then other times, but I always leave super sweaty and out of breath. That being said I always do deadlifts first so fatigue should not be the problem I have with them. I'd rather not skip a week of working out just to deadlift, or do you mean I should be going 6 times a week instead of 3?

            6 times a week
            Monday Wednesday friday you do 6 heavy sets of deadlifts
            week 1 3 reps per set
            week 2 4 reps
            week 3 5
            week 4 increase weight and do 3 reps
            on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday you will do frontsquats, bench or ohp and rows, because you're too fat and weak for pullups

              forgot to mention you do 10min cardio warmup and do dynamic stretching between sets on Deadlifts, never static
              fingers to toes bouncing
              get that hamstring stretch
              Lean to your stretched leg
              hip openers left right left right
              you'll look insanely gay at first in the gym but trust me you don't want any chronic inflammation there this shit sucks I've barely cured that mofo
              you can static stretch after gym though, helps with recovery

        It means you should do your front squats before you deadlift not after, also yes squeeze your buttcheeks and push your feet against the floor instead of trying to stand upright regularly.
