  • I assume you mean grip strength instead of arm strength. I go overhand grip for my first two sets at 135 and 225, but then use switch grip on my higher sets. It allows me to not use wrist wraps. Try out switch grip and see how much you can do. Deadlifts will increase your grip strength.

    My deadlift day goes: 10 reps at 135, 10 reps at 225, 1 or 2 less than max effort at 315 (usually around 5), 1 rep at 405, and 1 rep at 405 + some change to try to go for max or more. I sometimes fail the last rep. The first two sets I try to really concentrate on my form.




  • I don’t think it’s too much. I don’t really consider deadlifts that much of a leg and instead a back exercise. I also go 1 rep max on deadlifts, where my 2nd to last set is nearly max and last rep is max.

    I’d recommend doing romanian deadlifts instead of leg curls or leg press. I added them in the past year and really feel them. I do them elevated so i can really get low with barbell.



  • Linux mint or fedora are great options. I’d probably recommend mint as usually geared more to those switching from windows and the forums and communities might be more helpful for beginners.

    I’d avoid ubuntu these days. While not horrendous, i’ve run into enough annoyances with their snap package manager that there’s just no reason to learn this additional thing for a beginner.
