1. 

   I've been doing this for a few weeks now and can definitely see some small differences

2. 

   1. 8×2 50%
   2. 3×10 70%
   3. 8×2 55%
   4. 3×8 75%
   5. 8×2 60%
   6. 3×5 80%
   7. 8×2 65%
   8. 3×3 85%
   9. 8×2 70%
   10. 3×1 90%
   11. 8×2 75%
   12. MAXOUT WEEK

   Train deadlift only once a week.
   + Accessories.
   One number(1) is one week

3. 

   Gonna start doing this with the three main lifts

4. 

   We are all different. When i get the urge to deadlift, i find its best to sit very still and wait for it to pass.

5. 

   Does it mean we should do deadlift once in a week with low weight and high reps …..and next week with high weight and low reps ??
   Plz clarify

6. 

   Great tip, very well clarified, Eddie. So one session of deadlifts a week alternating fast/slow twitch? Basically Eddie Hall has learned about basic training blocks and periodization. Thanks, Eddie I’ve been stuck for quite a while.

7. 

   When I was 17 years old I deadlifted 550lbs. I'm 22 now and trying to hit 800lbs deadlift! Great advice mate

8. 

   is this the same whith bench

9. 

   There is no better person on this planet to ask about anything regarding the DEADLIFT. The man is indeed an expert on this topic.

10. 

    Did I misunderstand?

    8 sets of 2 reps at 50%RM? Then 3 sets of 10 reps at 70%RM?

11. 

    Should I train like this as a wrestler? Or is this really just for powerlifters?

12. 

    TAKE THE STRAPS OFF HIS HANDS & THE DEADLIFT SUIT HE WOULDN'T CUM CLOSE

13. 

    Nothing to do with the fibers..
    More with resting his nervous system more

14. 

    So basically hes learned basic training blocks and periodization..

15. 

    Thanks, Eddie I’ve been stuck for quite a while

16. 

    There’s about 420kg worth of broscience in this video

17. 

    So 3 sets of 10 at 300 kg Eddie your fcking nut's

18. 

    What Eddie hall says is in other words the same that Mike metzer said : less is more but not in terms of work done
    In terms of TIME to recover which is crucial
    I believe that anyone who wanna see some progress in the Gym needs to eradicate that itch in the middle of the A$$ of killing the gym everyday with the sensation they r gonna lose the muscle in 72 hours .

19. 

    Can this applied to the bench press?

20. 

    8 sets of 2?

21. 

    Why just 2 reps with fast twitch especially that the weight is 50% only?shouldn’t he be doing the higher reps version for lighter weight and lower rep for heavier workouts?

22. 

    Best way I increased my deadlift to 420 was to do rack pulls every day as a progressive 5×5 until I hit my max effort pull by the 5th set and I'd do a 10 second hold at the end of every set. Then once a week I would swap out rack pulls for my deadlift and just do a 1 rep attempt after a light warm up. No straps or belts, just some chalk.

    In 2 months I added nearly a 100 pounds to my deadlift where I was totally stuck at around 330 lbs before for a year. I know it's nothing by comparison, but this helped me monumentally as the rack pull, especially below the knee pulls are direct carry over's to the deadlift. I'd also throw in some RDL's for the hamstrings on occasion.

23. 

    This can be apploead to a general training program. Right? This seems optimal to develop every group.

24. 

    So slow twitch fibers are actually only used in long light weight endurance exercises that do not require explosiveness like in marathon running.
    He's talking about the concept of training heavy and slow vs explosive and light.

25. 

    What a legend.

26. 

    Only 8 sets of 2? That's only 16 reps of 50% 1RM… Is that correct because that seems like not enough volume

27. 

    so he trained fast twitch fibers and then more fast twitch fibers but just in a different style, … no slow twitch fibers where trained

28. 

    Eddie im doing Ed Coans 10 week cycle,its linear and brutal.Instead of doing it 7 days its now every 12th day as you said 10 days between. Im doing top set of 2 reps each time, then working triples each week 8×3. 6×3.5×3 3×3 and so forth, those drop sets are linear in progression. Im also doing on day 5 in between linear 50/60/70 percents bands for speed work including band tension 8x 2 fast as I can. Ive stalled on week 5 on the top sets so thinking rotate the exercise but keep it 90 percent semi conjugate, Will this work bro, for your slow twitch days your talking about volume 10 reps?? Bro im confused, are high volume 10 rep sets the way to build your strength, im thinking 2 and 3 reps fuck, tell me bro. You were….are…… always will be the best deadlifter of allllllllllllllllll time as far as im concerned, please help brother, Im from New Zealand, we still fuck you up in the Rugby all fucking day,,,,,, but who cares about Rugby anyway help me bro fuck!!!! Im 50 years old pulling 300, Squatting 300, help me please brother fuck fuckkkk!!

29. 

    Ive changed to that 11 day cycles, perfect! Thanks so much Eddie!!!!!

30. 

    I think what he meant to say at the end was NOT, “Train your muscle groups rather than the muscle themselves.” He MEANT to say, “Train the different muscle FIBER TYPES”

31. 

    I'M FLABBURGASTED !! Because I thought training HEAVY was training your FAST TWITCH fibers. I'm not asking for science evidence because science probably hasn't CATCH UP up with this.
    SO who can CORROBORATE this experience in any shape or form and MAYBE EXPLAIN for me ?
    God will give you cookies and I'll consider you a wise man to look up to.

32. 

    Yup, it’s called fatigue and deloading learned that the hard way

33. 

    My program is way more simple:
    1 day push musclegroup 3-4 sets with 4-8 reps until failure on each set
    1 day pull musclegroup 3-4 sets of 8-12 until failure on each set
    1 day leg 3-4 sets of 4-6 reps
    1 day with some shoulder/neck isolation, abs and perhaps some bicep/tricep/lats depending on push/pull muscles stage of recovery.
    And the more I eat and add in carbs to bulk up, the more I increase in plates week for week, and the more I cut on carbs and sugar, the less I can lift week for week the the more ripped I look.

34. 

    Does this apply for curling?

35. 

    Was this a full q&a? and If yes, can you upload the full video?

36. 

    so after those 12 weeks, how much weight should i add to my current max ?

37. 

    Makes sense. Didn’t know it took 10 days though. I’m not like Eddie I think I’ll be recovering faster than that. Massive difference in size and metabolic rates. Will take this advice and tailor it for myself for now. If I get anywhere near this man then I’ll consider the 12 week program.

38. 

    both are still training your fast twitch, difference is you are not exceeding your MRV by training light… if you want to trying slow twitch, walk a marathon

39. 

    So 1 session of deadlifts a week alternating fast/slow twitch ? Or two sessions a week

40. 

    bro pulled 420kg before learning to periodize his training. absolutely mental. you can make your training as technical as possible and some freak of nature is gonna smoke your ass anyway. thanks for the tip tho, lmao

41. 

    Good tip, very well clarified. Eddy Hall rules!

42. 

    Just curious, say you're using percentage based training, 70-90%, how do you know when you should add weight? If you're training at let's say 80%, when should you bump it up to 82-83%?

43. 

    Lift heavy slow, lift light fast.
    Both should burn though.
    Then when trying for a pb you need to go as fast as possible even though the lift will be slow

44. 

    The key is to do 20kg (empty bar) as your first deadlift, that way you can hit a PB every week

45. 

    I do something fairly similar – week of squatting and a week of deadlifting, every 2 weeks. Allows muscles and CNS to optimally recover.
