The sceptic in me is having a hard time imagining someone doing a 150kg Zercher with a normal gym bar. I've seen huge guys do it, I've seen people do this with thick stuff like logs (or like in strongman with Conan's Wheel).

But the lifting fan is just flat out impressed.

You got 5 singles with 170. Thats pretty awesome.

I have a question: have you put any science into distributing fatigue? In the sense..you deadlift more than once a week and deadlifts are one of the most neurologically draining or CNS-intensive (fancy terms but you get my point, right?) exercises and I was wondering whether you literally just do what you want to or if you have some sort of a plan in your mind.

Take me. 80% of my workouts are thinking on the spot. I only know what guidelines I am supposed to follow...like if today is Deadlift Day and I have to hit 5 singles with 90%+ of my max and if I feel good then I might do 6 singles or more or less if I feel like shit or I might take 95% and do 3 doubles...it all depends.

So do you put any thought into your training or is it going by feel? I am just curious...no flaming or anything.

hey thanks for your comment. my training philosophy is:
deadlift exercise
squat exercise
overhead work

but now I changed it, it was time to change things up a little bit.

Overhead work
Squat work
Sandbag training stamina work (cleans or box squats, shouldering)
Grip ( 2 exercises)
abs

Lower back (deadlift (1x5)(, farmers walk, farmers deadlift, …)
Bench work
Sandbag training for power
back (pull ups or rows)

Ok thats what I was trying to get at. You've laid out your template (the first one) for me before and I was wondering if you've evolved your training on the way or not. Thanks for the answer

np, sometimes I change things up. I always get fatigued when I get carried away and don't know my limits. I am a complete fanatic and I have a love/hate affaire with the deadlift

I am working on it. I only weigh around 80 kg so it is possible.
