Hmmmm, I don't know if I believe her or not! lol

[imperfectly_lou]

the fact she "started" with 135lbs seems a bit odd...

[Kels057]

Yeah I don't know.... I could definitely see starting at 135 if that was a 1 RM... but adding 50 lbs to a 1 RM is tough no matter what in such a short (seemed like a short) amount of time!

[HackSquat Heather]

I guess it's possible! Good for her if she increased her weight like that!

I hope it's true. I hope she doesn't stop there. God knows we need more young women on the magazine covers and in the spotlight that atleast seem to eat right, train and live a healthy lifestyle. I'd rather see my oldest read Vanessa's comments on working out and diet than following "Teen Mom" on TV, or whatever it's called.

"Awwww they're so cute that makes me want kids." (Ok honey, wait until they show - The project that's 30% of your final grade is due tomorrow, but baby has a temper tantrum, he's teething, potty training isn't going so well, he's up at 4am throwing up, oops toys in the toilet, overflow! All while your baby Daddy is away - episode.)

Sorry, mini rant, didn't mean to hijack...GO Vanessa!

I totally agree with you, I am so sick of cardio-crazed celebs and their stupid fad diets in magazines. It's great to see something like this for once

She might have "started" at 135 in that she did other lifts before that to prepare for it. If your gym doesn't have bumper plates, deadlifting requires that you do a deficit deadlift - pulling from a lower position. You can set up plates or steps to raise it up, but it tends to be tedious and clumsy. So it can be good to start with rack pulls, with the bar just below knee height. This is what my smaller or weaker clients do. Once they can pull around 160 from the rack, they'll be able to pull 135 from the floor.

So all of them could say, "I started with 135!" and they'd be telling the truth... but not the whole truth

I didn't read the entire article, just skimmed to the deadlifting part. The first time I deadlifted I did a few sets of a plate and a 10 for several reps. I'm sure her trainer made her do other weight training before having her try deadlifts. I doubt she meant she deadlifted 135lbs on her first workout.

lol @ "I was a monster" for deadlifting 180. Good for her that she's doing weight training and living more healthy though.

[uk3mi]

I'm certainly bigger than her but the first time I did a deadlift I could pull 72.5kgs (~160lbs) off the floor for 1 rep without hurting myself (and with no prior training than P90X...).
So 135 lbs for her size doesn't seem like an unbelievable number to me.

Yes, nice to even read the word "deadlift" in that kind of article I must say.

[LadiesManXtreme]

She deadlifts twice as much as me and I've been working out for over a year now! I guess that's what happens when you have professional trainers. She's actually a really good lifting inspiration! :)

Pics/Vids or it didnt happen.

probably something cooked by her PR people.

[NattyMeso]

My gf was barely pulling 85lbs just over 3 months ago. She pulled 155 yesterday. Curious to see how long its going to be til shes pulling 225. Either way im super proud of her.

lol when I started I think I started with 95lb.. its an easy lift imo to get MASSIVE noobie gains... pretty much dried up for me once I hit 315+

[mrfatwrecker]

just sent my gf that article, she still subscribes to the myth that lifting heavy weight is going to make her bigger, smh

ill never get her to deadlift, but she does squat, and when im around i have her lift properly

Like I said, I doubt tank girl Vanessa Hudgens even deadlifts.. no pics = didnt happen.

[beardymcbeard]

185lbs isn't all that much?? For a 1rm it's totally achievable. With poor form even more so

Why no deadlifts???

[mrfatwrecker]

She "isn't trying to be a bodybuilder"

When I'm around, she listens and pushes her limits.

When she goes with her girlfriends and they make comments like "dang your arms are lookin big, or your calves are lookin big", she gets all self concious and starts doing strictly cardio.

I try to explain to her the concept of lean mass and that if she does only cardio, she may get smaller, but her bodyfat % will stay the same.

She. Don't. Care.

lol trick her by telling her that doing squats produces the same kind of results as deadlifts. Wait no...then she'd stop doing squats.

You guys think shes E statin? Why would we should do that?
