One of the other coaches didn't think I could do 50 squats at 100kg. I thought I could
So I did. This was yesterday, my quads hurt today!

Last night - the usual legs and chest stuff.
Tonight, I want to try a 140kg deadlift. (but a bit scared...)
What is the best advice for warming up exercises for this - do I do lighter ones first, or is there something else I can try before doing the deadlift?
Hip extension exercises should be good.Tonight, I want to try a 140kg deadlift. (but a bit scared...)

I will do some Hip Extensions and a couple of sets of light DL's first (50%?)
Additional exercises may help, but the best preparation/warm-up for deadlifts is deadlifts IMO. Same for any lift.
Start light and increase gradually. As I approach 'working' weight the number of reps reduces to maybe only one or two but I always try to work my way up with no sudden jumps.

Cheers - I thought as much, have just started doing this for squats (going very light to start with). My problem with my DL's right now is my lower back, it seems to lack the strength compared to everything else around it! Start light and increase gradually.

Just a couple of hours to go...gulp...

IMO work up to it something like this:Just a couple of hours to go...gulp...
60kgx5
100kgx3
110kgx2
125kgx1
140kgx??
Or you could do 110,120 and 130kg...you get the drift!

It's not a race. Please don't try to lift more than the weakest link can handle or it'll end in tears.Just a couple of hours to go...gulp...
If 150's not there (or whatever), drop back 10% and take a fresh runup over the next few days/workouts/weeks. PBs are awesome but we can't expect them every time.
Best of British. Huzzah!

I did 3 reps on my final third set with 130kg the last time, and I felt quite good, so I am hoping 140 isn't beyond me, while I'm relatively 'fresh'If 150's not there (or whatever), drop back 10% and take a fresh runup over the next few days/workouts/weeks.

Just finished today's back session - had knots in my stomach all afternoon worrying about deadlifts...
Started with 2 minutes on bike rollers and then 2 sets of 10 reps of 'Good Mornings'.
Deadlifts:
Started with 80kg, just 5 slow reps. Then 5 reps with 110 and 120kg.
3 reps with 130kg
1 rep with 140kg! I felt like I had another rep in me, but I thought about my weight, I am 72kg, so if I add another 5kg, that would be double my bodyweight, so:
1 rep with 145kg! A new PB! That did take all that I had, though.
I am very happy with that - the other week, 140kg felt immovable! (But that may have been because of previous reps...)
Admittedly, after this, I was well and truly knackered (well, my back was), I decided not to do barbell rows, but did instead:
Dumbbell Rows - 7 sets of 9-10 with 42.5-47.5kg
Lat Pull Downs - 5 sets of 10-12 reps with 60kg
Seated Pulley Rows - 5 sets of 8-14 reps with 60-80kg
