585 deadlift for a triple at 220 lbs

[str8flexed]

Go easy on me fellas

I'm pretty proud of this as I tore my pec 10 months ago and had surgery to reattach it 9.5 months ago. I just started deadlifting again about a month ago (but have been squatting and doing glut-ham raises for much longer)

[awahl63]

Wow your form is amazing. I need to really work on my form...nice job

[str8flexed]

thanks, trying to work on keeping my butt down a little more as I'm a very hamstring dominant puller. But it's gotten much better I think

[kickinthepants]

damn looked easy for ya! nice job. that pec tear hurt like hell?

[PotKettleBlack]

Who is this noob trying to deadlift?

[PumpinPaddy]

damn, crazy lifts - no hitching or anything

i was actually watching your GHR vid yesterday (no stalker) and theyre pretty impressive too

[krakken]

Do work bro! Nice triple indeed, especially post op.!

[aloha_izzie]

He made this look easy!! Way to go babe!!

It was pretty hot too!!

[PotKettleBlack]

Yeah, on a serious note, your form is pretty damn good. I have to keep my ass loads lower than that, or try to because my back just wouldn't stay straight enough at that height.

[str8flexed]

thanks guys, obviously I'm really focussed on not re-injuring myself so if my form sucks feel free to tell me!

[str8flexed]

not really, the thing that hurt the most was knowing I might not be able to lift for a long time.

[PotKettleBlack]

It looks fine enough to me. And believe me, you'd have been told by now by at least 3 people if it wasn't good, lol.

[str8flexed]

thanks! I've been thinking of doing a powerlifting competition, so maybe i'll give it more thought (just dead and squat , no bench)

[ShutUpAndSquat]

Nice lift! Were you a stronger deadlifter prior to the pec tear?

[BiggerTommorow]

picture perfect form from what i can see, awesome weight too. Since you mentioned possibly competing, whats your squat like?

[debrovnik]

That is very, VERY impressive!

Good job!

[Diana Meeque]

form is great, i wouldn't change where your ass is at. honestly i thought it was a too low at first and that it was going to come back up before the bar left the ground but it didn't

unfortunately if you want to squat in a meet you have to take at least a token bench.

the bar+collars at the very least.

GLUUUUUUTTTAAAMMIIIINNNNEEE


but really that is one hell of a pull

actually i talked to the apa promotor of the meet i'm considering and he said he would let me do it.

Probably have to do deadlift only. I haven't seen anything where you can just go dead and squat. Unless you are at a very serious meet you shouldn't have any trouble at all getting wins at raw 220.

i've done 475 for 5 raw, so probably over 520 i'd guess. My calculated max is at like 540, but i don't put a whole lot of stock in those calculators

My first meet next month is single lifts - theres bench squat and dead, but no overall, and you dont have to enter all three (although I am)

interesting.

can't watch the video at work, but from what people are saying looks good.

[Arlecchino]

Looks like you have something of a high waist and slightly long arms, so you are always going to pull with your hips a little higher than someone with a more proportionate build. (yours does not appear to be extreme, like mine).

Very solid technique.

[Newbtime]

good to see you back into the heavy lifting layne, your form is spot on.

hows the pec feel? are you training chest again?

[Blk98Bird]

form looks awesome layne, impressive stuff

thanks, pec is doing well. been training chest again for about 6 months. Started with 3 lb dumbbell presses. Last week I did 55 lb dumbbells for 3 sets of 20, so I'm getting there!
