After taking a few weeks break from deadlifts, I resumed them 3 weeks ago in lead upto my first bodybuilding competition in just 13 days time, the NPA Mike Williams Classic Pro-Am. I saw powerlifter James "Jimmy" Nuttall at the gym and he set me a challenge and it was simple.......pull a x3 body-weight deadlift before your first show. Weighing 103kg this morning, it was now or never, put up or shut up time. Challenge accepted and completed! None of this light weight squeezy, squeezy training for me, just shifting heavy a$$ weight to try to retain or even build new muscle.
I believe the GBPF Open British record @ 105kg is currently 330kg, so with a proper strength training cycle I feel I can lift quite a bit more than 310kg. Maybe 2017 is the year I accept another challenge and I hit that powerlifting stage again and do the heavy lifts where they count. In the meantime it's head down, grinding hard and a bit more pain to get ready for my first bodybuilding show in a few days
