You must have misunderstood me, Anuj. Nothing in your training history suggests you can really max out on box squats and deads the same day.

But the results were very good and I am certainly pleased. I agree with IW (and pity) that you have 385 in the bag but it's up to you whether you won't to try it again later. I don't think it matters much and you are at an advanced enough stage that I don't think it's realistic to always be albe to improve all your big lifts at once.

But it's all about preparedness and the fact that 355 felt hard this time and felt "like speed work" that last time should tell you something.

The results of this plan are supposed to be cummulative.

You have speed deadlifts and rack pulls from knees for the first 4 weeks.

Deads slighty elevated the next four.

Snatch grips, and speed AND rack pulls from knees the next 4.

Speed deadlift for the the last 3 and sumos for the last two.

I think that's all about right...

That's along with anderson front squats, box squatting, all sorts of lunges, pistols....

So based on all that, why pick on rack deads? I mean I understand and I agree that rack deads don't really help me "finish" my deads. Guess, what, EC would probably agree with that. It's not why he put them in. But from 16 weeks of various work we can hardly surmise at this point that rack deads were the problem. Especially since just last week you blamed it on snatch grip

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
