[buffness]

how high would you say your setting the pinz? Usually you should be able to lift a lot more weight then deads off the floor.

[goes4ever]

I need to measure it, I think the brace on my rack is 14"

[buffness]

I think the biggest issue your having comes down to motor skills. Your not having much carry-over from Trap bar deads to rack deads. The change in grip alone makes it a different movement for your body. If you wanted your rack numbers to go up, I'd alternate trap bar deads with conventional deads off the floor. Carry over from regular deads will be much greater then with the trap bar..

G4E, have you thought about doing your box squats before the SLDL? Also what is the height of the box?

[goes4ever]

no I do hammies before quads..............I need to measure my box I think it is at a bit below parralell (sp?)

[future]

And doing that doesnt burn out your back when you start legs?

[goes4ever]

well yes it does, but I was trying to follow the DC outline............how would you do it??

[future]

Ah, well I dont want to rain on your parade. If you can just SLDL and then do some other leg movement that doesnt wear on the lower back OR just do your quads first. At least that is what I do especially when doing a great exercise like SLDL's. Just beats me up so I make sure to squat first.
