race me to a 5 plate deadlift

[Landon12]

Okay, ill continue accepting competitors for another 2 days. Theres a few guys in here with deadlifts that are just too high for it to even be a fair competition. Im going to set the current max at 425, i think thats more than fair.
Will update later with new list! And im open to doing two or three weight classes or something else to.keep the higher lifters itt.
Maybe this could be an official deadlift thread/comp with weight classes etc. ill be updating tn the rules

[swhitese]

Landon12, I want in. My 1 rep max so far is 405

[y0lked]

Im in, 405 x 5 but kinda strained my back doing it (havent deadlifted heavy in over a year) and wont be even squatting or deadlifting for another week but i ill race ya to 495 OP

[bigonesjason]

[y0lked]

640lbs wot?

[bigonesjason]

[Landon12]

Subbed
I will rep the winner, and keep the thread clean of all other BS.

thanks!
one more day to enter this competition, then we will officially start.

and i think it will be best to have some type of division system set up to even the playing field so i'll post that with all the rules when it starts tomorrow.

[TylerP4]

Alright im in. I just got to 405 as you know. It will probably take me a while to get there because I am a bodybuilder first, and only do a strength day on deadlift once a month or so. But I'm up for the challenge!

[Sashqwatch1234]

This thread is simple, im looking for someone to race to a 5 plate deadlift one rep max (495 x 1). I just began deadlifting after not dling for a year and hit 315 for 8. If anyone wants we can just do a 450 deadlift. Ive always found having someone to compete against helps improve motivation etc.
Rules: be inbetween a estimated max of 375 to 400 currently
Chalk is allowed
Belt or straps can be decided if we allow them or not
pretty simple, soo..
Whos in?

Involved so far and current weight;

myself; landon12 (315x8)
l2evolution (315x1)
Wantaripbod (215x8)

CM1221 (425x1)
chrisimundo (365x6)
thebeast53 (405x4)
HeavyAzzWeight (385x4)

More are welcome to join.

This will be a long thread both length and time wise, so lets say now lets keep it clean with deadlift videos, pictures, deadlift discussion and that sort of thing, rather than have it become a thread with 20 topics.
Lets post vids or pics whenever a notable achievement is made or when you want help with form, etc.
First to 495 wins, and gets repped by everyone competing. I say next 10 all get repped by everyone as well, open to suggestions regarding the reward system. Also, if a mod is willing to rep the winner(s) then that would be fantastic!
And lets do a RAW competition, this means 3 notable things; chalk and belt are allowed, no powerlifting suits, and no hitching! There is no judge right now but maybe a person will step up who knows their stuff (if any elite powerlifter, powerlifting judge etc is reading this, please step up!).
More updates and refining will come as this thread moves along.
My next heavy deadlift session is thursday, lets get the bar moving!

Alright man I'm totally in! Here is my video of 350lb. I don't think tht was my max. In 2 weeks I'm going for 400lbs. And I will post the video. Hope you all enjoy! And sumo variation is allowed rite?

[Sashqwatch1234]

I used straps here too, but I have to use the knee wraps because my knees are bad from football. But I have a good feeling about this thread I will check it everday. Repping you for the idea too, finally something good has come to teen misc. lol

[Landon12]

RULES, DIVISIONS etc.

Rules
1. must be teen misc age.
2. must not have ever deadlifted an amount greater than current deadlift.
Note ** Rule 2 is to prevent brahs who deadlifted 500 6 months ago then stopped and currently deadlift 300 but could be back at 500 in no time with muscle memory)
3. if someone is to lie about their beginning pull (start of competition pull) or final pull then they will be DQ'd.
4. final pull must be submitted via video with newspaper of day shown and spoon in video.
5. final pull must be raw- this means no straps, no deadlift suit (wrist wraps, 4 inch or smaller belt, chalk are all allowed.)
6. final pull will be judged by a moderator who has experience in powerlifting or understands raw powerlifting rules etc.
7. no date is set for when pull must be hit, this is only a race, could be 2 months or 7 months.

Divisions;

There will be two divisions, one division will be for guys currently of a deadlift max or estimated max at 450 or higher and one group of guys who have current max or estimated maxs of 415 and under.

The 450 race will be to 505 pounds (if there are enough competitors in this division we can change the final weight to 525, or whatever else, I only created this division to give another few guys an opportunity to be in this competition without disadvantaging the lighter pullers).
The 415 race will be to 495 pounds.

For the maxes if you have not provided a current one rep max then I will calculate your estimated one rep max to place you into one of the two divisions. I will use the same calculator for everyone so that it is fair.

I had a typo, I'm sorry! I'm at 345 x 1, not 355 x 1. Completely my fault.
Here's a video to ensure it:
YouTube (don't have 50 posts yet for vid links within post) /watch?v=U9r0GgjB55s
Form is off a bit, but it's my max so form is a bitch on 1 reps, yeah?

[ShortBrah3030]

Do you guys do anything differently for training deadlifts? Like what I do is I do 1x5 twice a week but do you guys do a day where you do 1x5 and then a day when you max?

[comps]

I did SS progression up to 385x5.
Started at 225 or 245x5 and just added 10 pounds a session until I hit 385x5.
Took me about 4 months in total.

I do 5 sets, but increase weight each time. It works for me brilliantly. I've gone from a 145 - 345 deadlift within 6 months.

1st Set: 145 x 15
2nd set: 235 x 6
3rd Set: 285 x 2
4th Set: 325 x 1
5th Set: 345 x 1

*All lifts are in lbs (pounds)

[natedabomb09]

Hopefully this won't bump me into the big boy division, but I pulled 425x1 today, and almost got 445x1. Will see if I can embed videos, need some help on my form.

[ShortBrah3030]

How do you guys pull so much????
