Mind pump is rlly great bro. Got all the answers to my questions

[@warrenprater6142]

After my back surgery. I walked away from deadlifting. Then I realized, the body must be able to perform a deadlift, maybe not 800 pounds, but staying strong with a lift that replicates real life strength and a real life movement is necessary, I went to the drawing board and started doing multiple sets of singles, perfect powerful form every time, and my back feels so good, I dare to say better than ever. Keep in mind, I broke a piece of my disc off in my low back with only 225lbs, my max was 535. I let my ego get ahold of me and was just seeing how many reps I could do as fast as I could go(I know I know that’s freaking dumb) but the form got sloppy and I started cat backing and pop. Just know, if there’s a will there’s a way. Try the method, it works.

update here. I recently did 101 singles on deadlifts with 225,, it took me 50 minutes to complete. Anyhoo, over the next few days I noticed gains in my quads, hams, entire back, glutes and of course forearms. I used double overhand grip, no straps, and no belt, worked great. Now I do singles for every move, this is how naturals should train for sure.

I started doing like 3-6 sets of 1 depending on intensity and my strength shot up and never lost any muscle actually felt like I gained some It also allows you to gradually get stronger on specific lifts because if you only do 3-5 reps for compounds you’ll eventually stop progressing in that lift Singles are needed

[@manlyphal959]

5:10 super good point. Amazing stuff when you feel it. When you do a single for 95% effort, you can do what would be your normal 6 rep max ten twelve nice activated reps. This works really well for me and it's just like he says, your mind adjusts and adapts during the workout.

[@Papepipucho]

Currently trying this with my deadlifts and I can’t get a fourth rep. So just been going for many sets to reach the volume I was aiming for of 15 (not including the 2 sets warm up weight) so basically a bunch of triple reps lol

[@chriskirk2780]

Due to sciatic pain in my back i am unable to do multiple reps on deadlift. Due to this i only did singles the past 6 months. I put 100 lbs on my deadlift in that amount of time as already an intermediate strength lifter. The singles were probably around 90-95% of 1rm.

[@r.e.4640]

This strength rep range, is what Mike Ohearn actually uses. And he's as strong as an OX!!!!💪🙂

Pitt force, from Germany

[@bb-3653]

I did something similar but the reps ranged from 1 to 3 reps. For like 6 sets. I used to try heavy singles but didn't realise I wasn't doing enough sets I only did like 3 or 4 sets( this was when I was 17 though lmao) I guess the volume would be more if your leaner to gain more strength as opposed to being in a bulked phase. However now, I reduce the rest to 1.30 minutes and lower the weight so that it still feels mildly/really heavy, the body can't tell the difference.

[@Deuce7Off]

Garage strength has a similar wave load I believe it's 65%, 75%, 90% of your 1 rm. Do a triple on the 65, a double on the 75 and a single on the 90, rest 1:30 between each set repeat 3 times.

[@bb-3653]

@grahamhsu I'll take thar advice , thanks,.for me now I think it's just about frequency, each major lift at least twice in a set time period. Or wave of weeks etc

[@HeathWatts]

90% of the 1RM is a good guide for singles. However, 70% for multiple singles can work too, as Steve Justa discusses in his book "Rock, Iron, Steel". I can do singles with 70% for a few weeks, then max, and my max continues to go up. I find that 90% works for bench, but 70% is better for squats and deadlifts.

[@johnlammergeier2890]

try it on something small only at first, bis, or calves or something, no reason to do entire body if you are not sure

[@brucecakes]

Swole gain!

[@gladius731971]

Is this good for weight loss as well

[@sharr3766]

Anything sport related is good for weight loss. But singles and doubles are very unoptimal for that specific purpose

[@MrAlexg91]

It can be but weight loss mostly depends on your diet.

[@sharr3766]

@@MrAlexg91 yeah but you need a strong diet to support strength training so it goes back to what I said, eventho you are right

[@Papepipucho]

Count calories, walk

[@johnlammergeier2890]

[@alexanderheyworth3242]

Exactly what Olympic lifters do, even with their squats.
