Off The Floor: A Manual for Deadlift Domination

Click Image To Try It TodayAnd it’s not like I wasn’t trying – in fact, TRYING was all I did! I tried every single deadlift program under the sun, religiously following the instructions, just hoping to get a little stronger, a little bigger, a little better. I tried…

But no matter what I tried, I would always just end up injured and in the same place that I was before. I always thought I was making a little bit of progress, but then I would end up "tweaking" something and my progress was immediately STOPPED.

I went on this “roller coaster” for a number of years before stumbling upon a little known secret that skyrocketed my deadlift and my muscle gains…

This secret has allowed me to take my deadlift from 245 pounds to 605 pounds, and become a world record holder in my weight class for the deadlift (And in case you’re wondering, the secret I am talking about is NOT steroids. I am all natural and have the blood tests to prove it.)

And on top of that, as my deadlift numbers shot up, I started to pack on pounds and pounds of rock-solid muscle to all of my weakest body parts.

My arms, shoulders and back blew up practically overnight. I went from a skinny 168 pounds to a jacked 205 pounds and 10 percent body fat in the blink of an eye.

Since then I’ve achieved triple-bodyweight deadlifts in four variations and gone over a thousand pounds in partial-range deadlifts. I can deadlift 365 pounds with one hand or one leg. I’ve pulled 225 pounds for 50 reps in under a minute. My training logs track over 30 variations of deadlifts, and I sometimes deadlift five days per week. I’ve never been beaten… Read more…

That’s exactly how I felt a few years ago when I was taking time away from my family and going to the gym everyday – for at least 2 hours every time – chasing after the physique that I had back in college when I used to play sports.

PLUS, with my wife pregnant with our 5th child, I started to feel guilty that I was taking all this time away from my family, selfishly, trying to keep myself in shape.

The problem was, I wasn’t in shape…at least not by my standards or the standards that have been set by the industry that I chose to make a living in.

And no matter what anyone tells you, it doesn’t matter what degrees or certifications you have, it doesn’t matter what celebrities you’ve trained and it doesn’t matter what kind of results you’ve gotten for other people…

It’s kind of like me telling my kids to eat their vegetables because it’s good for them, while I’m stuffing my face full of donuts.

The problem wasn’t that I was doing enough – I was spending 10 hours per week in the gym training myself, after all – the problem was that I was doing TOO MUCH.

The problem was that I was doing too many exercises, for too many repetitions, too many times during the week.

Sure, you can train like that when you’re 20; when you have ZERO life responsibility; when your body can take the pounding and; when you… Read more…
