What's considered a good deadlift for my weight?

[TheBroBrah]

My 1RM for deadlift is currently 225, is this decent for my BW?

My other lifts are

Bench: 170
Military: 125
Squat: 205

[JBrook]

Certainly not terrible, but Ive seen bigger numbers, pretty good, keep working.

[cable3333]

good would be ...tree fiddy .....lmao

[Tomohawk92]

brah we the same!
im only at 265 atm

[JZ1986]

How long have you been training?

A couple months = OK, not great.

6 months or more = you need to work harder.

[XXX666]

try your best not to worry about the quantity of weight you use, worry about doing the movements correctly. this is more important than how much weight.

Which is just at the lower end of novice.

BW: 132
Untrained: 113
Novice: 209

BW: 148
Untrained: 126
Novice: 234

5lbs more than last week, and 5lbs less than next week.

Get your reps in good form. Reward yourself by adding 5lbs next session.

[getmoney06]

i have been dead liftin for 3 weeks now , started at 135 jut to get used to it im up to 315, reps times after doin 225 for 10 reps is that good

[laughin_man]

I think these stats are pretty meaningless.
They don't count the height, for one. If you're at my weight there's a difference in your structure if you're 5'7'' or damn tall and lanky like me.

The novice column is pretty much my final goal, ffs.

[lefthookright]

Well a 125 military is way better than a 225 deadlift lol

[iamtheq]

It's not bad. Keep up the work! I know I feel like my lifts are still a little low, some of that is because I will correct something with my form and drop the weight a little so I can make sure I nail it. Some of it is because I just started. I still have a lot more corrections to go but the weight will come with it.

[Big_Carphuna]

4,500lbs would be a great lift for your size.

[-Lucifer]

Over 9000.

Yeh i would be real happy if i hit 200 bench and 300 dead by summer, but idk.

[hardwork08]

true that, unless hes talking push press...

[TheBroBrah]

true that, unless hes talking push press...

Nah it's standing strict press, My shoulders are my best feature by far.

[musicianman]

good would be ...tree fiddy .....lmao

The funny part is that this is actually true.

2.5x your bodyweight = 350 pounds. LMFAO.

[vancityrider]

bout 350

[derekk1]

even with great noob gains, youre not gonna add a plate to your dead by summer. thats what - only 3-4 months?

actually, maybe in 4 months you can by adding 5 pounds a week.

[YesThatGuy]

That's not good at all.

I weigh about 20 pounds more than you and can pull 425 for 2 reps raw.

Thanks for the motivation

I'm 185 and struggle @ 315.

Then I watched "Nice body but what can you do with it - part 8" on youtube, fixed my form a little, and it helped tremendously. Keeping my shins right up to the bar and squatting back and I can do 315x5 without feeling like I'm going to die. I feel like 405 is definately in reach now. Going to try and do a 8 week progression and get up to at least 385.



....Now I just need to fix my squat form. The usual crowd I hit the gym (at work) with was harassing me for not going deep enough on my squats, and my knee is pretty messed up after I tried to oblige heh :\


On the topic of deadlifting -- when do you guys put it in your split? I've tried on leg days but I feel like I have no lower back stability after em, and if I do it on back day I really can't go as heavy on T-bar etc.

[Rayzor84]

It's good bc it's what u can do right now. I'm 182lbs and dl 245lbs after 8 weeks at once a week. Just keep adding weight it'll increase. You can't just start out and lift heavier than ur capacity that's how u hurt yourself. I squat 210 also. Don't let the brahs get u down. They are either straight lying about their lifts or worked up to where they are. You would be surprised how many losers sit on the forum and lie about their lifts to look better on paper.

Due to my schedule I do 3 days...chest tri legs calves, back bi, shoulders abs. I do dl on back day.

[wisdommaster1]

if you aren't increasing deadlift weight by 5lbs each week then you need to work harder. Honestly you have a lot of room for rapid improvement at that level OP but keep working hard and you will be 315+ in no time

[TBU720]

No. Unless you started a couple months ago.

[DerekEt]

At least 500.
