Question Thread 18

New thread because the old one's too damn long. Please read the rules below. (Rules updated April 17th - must read)

Rules: 

1. Don't reply to my reply with another question. Patreon makes it impossible to navigate and find it once the thread becomes long enough. The email notification doesn't take me to your reply, it just takes me to this thread. Instead, write a new comment/question.

2. Each Patron gets one post per question thread answered. It's not sustainable otherwise. New question threads are made every few days.

3. Use shift+enter to make a break. Don't post an unreadable mess. 

4. Zach Moore and Patrick Tucker are qualified personal trainers. They give great advice/answers and jump in when I'm not around. Alexander Jonathan Leahy is also good. Knows a thing or two about powerlifting. 

5. Don't ask how much you're supposed to eat on training and rest days respectively. We're not here to do math for you. (BW in kg) x 30 is a good starting point for maintenance. 

6. Before asking, please make sure you read Patrick Tucker's LG FAQ. Updated every Friday (weekend in this week's case).

7. Check out Elliott Myers's Google Sheets Log for the RPT diet routine AND Patreon RPT Routine.

8. Check out Zach Moore's LG Patreon Table of Contents

9. Don't ask for "thoughts." Be specific. I have lots of thoughts on countless subjects, but no time to share them all. It's your responsibility to specify which one you're after.

What do you mean by “pulling the slack out of the bar”

No more questions here - use the new thread instead. (Up in a min)

1. Of course. Only a beginner wouldn't. 2. Hate to disappoint, but I don't have any. I've been deadlifting for two decades, it's like second nature to me. 3. Consistency and effort.

Deadlift: 1- do you pull the slack out of the bar? 2- What are your cues for a big pull? 3- Looking back at your training log, what were the things you did that really increased your DL strength? Thank you :)
