5 reviews for 100 LBS in 100 Days Deadlift Program

This program is the exact one I ran myself to bring me from a 400 to 500 lb deadlift in 100 days. It is high volume and very hard. But I pushed my limits and got huge gains. I do think everybody should really try pushing their limits to see where they really are. They will be better lifters for it.

Started with a 405 max, I’m about halfway through and based on how my sets of 335 moved today I don’t think I’ll be pulling 500 by the end of this. But gains are being made.

This program got me to break a 600lbs deadlift. I was stuck between 495-545 depending on the day. After this program 545 for a top set double became my baseline strength. I will probably come back to this program again after I finish the powerlifting focused one.

I wanted to push myself with this Programm and did the prescribed Programm adding 5kg every week until I failed a lift. That was after 4 Weeks due to not being able to finish the backdown sets because of global fatigue. After that I took off 2 days and Maxed out my Deadlift. My previous PR was 155kg and I was detrained because I had to take 1 month off due to outside factors. I hit 180kg after 4 Weeks with this Programm effectively adding 55lbs in 38 Days. I recommend everyone to try this Programm at least with lighter Intensity, because my Motor pattern and Technique greatly improved due to being able to slightly vary a few things like standwidth and space to the bar so I could find the optimal position for me. Additionally you get to challange yourself and push your though limits.

Its only been 2 weeks and I already gained 35 more pounds on my deadlift. That already speaks volumes.
