Two days ago, I did my first multiple-rep DL with a weight of over 100kg.
Workout was not an attempt to do a max lift, just wanted to see if I could do 105 kg for reps in a double wave
50x5
70x5
80x4
1st wave
90x4
95x3
100x2
2nd wave
95x4
100 (3RM)x3
then I put on a belt and got :
105 (1RM)x3
Without a belt I may have gotten just 1 or perhaps 2 reps. Never thought using a belt would make such a difference. More actually than straps, which invariably made me feel weaker instead (making things thicker = far worse grip than without straps).
Supposedly the 105x3 should predict a 1RM of nearly 117kg. Considering that 110 is my current 1RM I might try to get 115kg next month or try to do 2-3 reps for 107.5 kg instead. Haven't decided yet which one of the 2.
BW at time of attempt: 63.3 kg, making coeff for 105 = 1.66.
