Vince Anello Deadlift Routine

The following deadlift routine should only be followed by strength athletes who are very well versed in the correct technique for doing a squat. As is shown by the weights that Vince Anello uses he has been powerlifting for a long time. It is a 14 day cycle that if followed correctly will get results.

The weights can be reduced to suit your own limitations but the sets and reps as well as the increase in the weight selected should be the same. Vince Anello has personally deadlifted over 800 pounds and this only comes from progressive resistance.

The comment from Vince when he entered this deadlift routine in an article that was published was that his previous best lift was 600 lbs and he said that if your own personal best was 200 or 300 pounds less the same improvement of 50 pounds could be achieved if equated correctly.
