My pro tip: don't be a fat ass like me. 50 pounds of extra fat makes this sooooooo much more difficult to achieve 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😢💩😭

Yo yo Potato you got my ears perked up for this one. Excited to hear the results of the other lifts with the 1 rep cluster strategy.

My top tip: do chin-ups after deadlifts. You'll be primed and ready to do maximum reps.

OBJECTION! HAHAHAHA

Of course, everyone has their own style— BUT, I feel like the whole point of deadlifting at all is throwing a wrench on your CNS with the heavies pulls you can muster— I personally only do that NECROMANCY once or twice A MONTH and with a specific fully dedicated day where I only do deadlifts.

After deads, your CNS should be utterly fried, and in fact, I usually gauge how much of good job I did there, by trying to do a pullup and failing miserably HAHAHAH

I'm going to give this a go. The only thing that has consistently helped me add reps on pull-ups is a grease the groove approach. Every 30-60 mins throughout the day I'd hit a a submaximal set of about 70% of max reps and stay well away from failure. Interested in how your approach, particularly clusters of 1 might affect things for me

I have only recently gained the shoulder mobility to do the deadhang, i can only get a few seconds. About half a standard pullup, i did hit the neutral grip palms facing cheater for 2, but it is a work in progress.
