![]() ![]() Most guys are doing this type of programming for the pulls within 8-12 weeks of starting the program: So in most cases, the first change to deadlift programming involves doing less deadlifting – first alternating the deadlift with a power clean, and then deadlifting only once per week. ![]() The mechanical problem in terms of balance is “easier” for your body to solve and therefore you are able to lift a bunch of weight, you don’t have to practice the lift heavy as often, like you would a press, and you are able to impart a huge systemic stress with relatively low frequency. Given the short range of motion, the ability to handle significant loads, and the use of damn near every single muscle in your body to move those loads, the opposite approach to what I outline in Intermediate Programming for the Upper Body Lifts is taken for the deadlift. You are a grown 200 lb man and your 145 lb press is not systemically stressful after a couple of months of doing the program, while your 315 lb deadlift starts to get quite rough, especially considering that you’re squatting three days a week as well. The press slows down due to a lack of stress, while the deadlift slows down because it quickly becomes too stressful within the context of the whole program. The interesting thing is that the change in programming for each of these lifts becomes necessary at around the same time, but for different reasons due to the nature of the stress that each of these lifts imparts. ![]() And no matter which comes first, the second is always close behind. The first modification to most guys’ Starting Strength Novice Linear Progression will either be a change to deadlift programming or to press programming. ![]()
