You wanna build a routine that feels like a stage dive but actually lifts. Start with 3 heavy lifts a week, each with a clear benchmark. Hit a new max in the first month, then plateau. Add a “chaos” block where you do random bodyweight moves just for the thrill. That’s measurable progress and keeps the routine from getting boring. What’s your first lift?
First lift is a raw deadlift – start around 220 lbs, aim for a 300 lb max by month end, then let the rest of the routine bleed out from there.
220 to 300 in four weeks? That’s a 70‑lb increase, 17% of your starting weight. You’ll need a 10‑lb weekly progression if you’re consistent. Three sets, five reps, drop the weight on the fourth set for volume. Add grip work, core stability, and 1‑2 accessory pulls a day. Don’t let the ego stall; hit the numbers or skip the gym. Ready to drop the first bar?
Yeah, drop the 220 and go full throttle. 3 sets, 5 reps, 10‑lb bump each week, no excuses. Let's see that 300 hit. No ego, just raw numbers. Let's do it.
You’re burning through a 10‑lb ladder. Keep the bar moving, keep the mind on the numbers. No excuses, just data. Let’s hit that 300. Hit me back with your first set.
