How I increased my Deadlift PR by 25% in 4 Months




Deadlift is the most basic of the exercises one when concerning the weight training.
The exercise seems a simple, as the procedure involves just lifting the loaded bar off the floor. However, after a certain plateau point, it becomes really hard to move at least even an inch off the floor.

I was unaware of the importance of this movement for almost 2 years of my training. 
My first lift was of 120 KGs at the age of 16 at 63 KGs bodyweight, without any prior deadlift and barbell squat training. My form was really improper and I had a lower back ache for the week that followed. I decided to train the movement and reached a milestone of 125 KGs for 6 Repetitions in the next 5 months with a steady improvement in my bodyweight as well, which came to be measured as 67 KGs.

And, again, I quit deadlifting for a year and a half. I primarily devoted that frame of the duration for pull-up and bench press weight maximization. 
Again, on April 2022, I attempted the conventional deadlift max which came out to be 135 KGs with a very improper form.
I trained again with a even better approach and increased the overall frequency of the movement.
My first session was on Tuesday , and I used to set a limit of 20 minutes and perform as many reps as possible with 100 KGs (26 Reps), and the same method of training on Thursday was followed.
And, within September end, I was able to perform 160 KGs as an one rep max.
Now, I researched a lot about deadlift maximisation, and introduced Deficit and Romanian Deadlift into my training, Romanian Deadlift for 4 Sets with 3-4 reps and Deficit on 3-4 Reps on Thursday.
And, after almost 3 Months I attempted my PR which came out to be 170 KGs, however, my form wasn't proper.
But, Iam satisfied with the overall increase in my dead lift.

Can you grow your wrist size?

Image
The skinny wrists are very frustrating and, the curious thing is people with decent and above average muscle gains after years of training get utterly upset by having those skinny wrists which is believed to be purely genetic and cannot be developed with training. My take on the subject is a bit different from popular perception. I have had the privilege of a skinny frame and have embarked on the journey of increasing my wrist size from 5.9 inches to 6.3 inches within a span of two years. I have diligently and regularly followed the following things- * Include a heavy compound movement in each day of your training. * Get in the habit of re racking heavy weights by lifting, not rolling. * Train forearms 3x a week, not more. * Use free weights instead of machines. * Do not use straps or gym gloves. * Hang daily for about 30 seconds. * Improve your pull-ups.

How wide or, attractive your clavicle looks depends a lot upon your genetics. Some have predominantly wider clavicles as compared to their waistline, whereas some due to their wife hips, even though have good width on their clavicles , unfortunately do not look attractive. But, however, you can incorporate certain exercises to target in and around that bone to create that illusion of a good clavicle. #1 Side Lateral Raises #2 Incline Bench Press #3 Wide Grip Pull Ups #4 Wide Grip Dips

How I did grow my calves from 12.2" to 13"

 Back, Legs and Calves have been my weakest part of all body parts since I started training. My Back has been primarily weak because from the age of 12 to until joining the gym, I used to focus only on pushing movements like the overhead press, different types of pushups and some core work. But, with increased focus on pulling movements I literally improved my back musculature a total three sixty degree from scrawny to muscular. Coming the the leg muscles, I had strong and veiny legs but they they lacked size. So, I focused a lot on compound heavy lifting like back squats, front squats, sumo deadlifts, conventional deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, deficit deadlifts, snatch grip deadlifts, good mornings et cetera. And they grew to a great extent. But, coming to the calves, I used to train them for 8 sets every week at the end of leg workout. And they were scrawny as hell. And there came a time when I was so insecure to wear shorts anywhere but inside at home. I decided to train them t...
