O35 Official Deadlift Competition Thread

[drudixon]

Since we lost the last deadlift competition thread, it's time for a new one. Ideally we can get this stickied, and get some mod reps for the weight class winners. I'll be checking the contest regularly to update standings. Since the thread may last longer than a year, we can declare winners at 1/1/20XX of each year. The goal is to have fun, to push each other, and to reign supreme in O35 in total alphaness.

Note: this is in lieu of a Burpee Competition thread. :P

For this first round, any video dated 2013 will suffice. Group ruling will decide on questionable lifts.

Rules:
Video must make clear that lockout is achieved.
Weight Amount must be clearly visible.
No hitching.
Wrist / Knee Wraps allowed, but in the event of a tie, gear free wins (taken from last comp)
Belts Allowed
Ramping Allowed

Weight Classes

Ladies
1st group Up to 124lbs
2nd group 125-145lbs
3rd group 146lbs and over

Mens
1st group up to 175
2nd group 176 - 210
3rd group 211- 240
4th group 241 and over

Thanks to Getsum for encouraging creation of the comp.

In.

Official entry from Feb: 565lbs @ 250-something bodyweight. I repeated the 565 on Saturday but no vid.



Should have a 6-plate vid in here soon, which probably won't be enough @ my weight.....

[Getsum]

In!

My body weight was 215.5 on my last PR. I've been trying like hell to improve on this but no progress yet. Anyway, my plan is compete in the 2nd group 176-210.

[bigtallox]

Hmmm, I rarely do a normal barbell deadlift anymore. Here's 375 pound Reeves deadlift from a few weeks ago ( my max is 455, I think the world record is 450 ).



I've got a max deadlift event at my show this saturday, maybe I'll have something worth posting from that.

[bodyhard]

Damn guys I would love to join in on this.

But as you guys know I f'cked up my pelvis deadlifitng and stopped. I wont start again until I heal.

But here was my best this year, 405lbs for 4 @ 180lbs, no straps, no belt.


Hopefully I will be deadlifting again before this comp is over and I will post a video.

[drudixon]

Great start to the comp guys! Hopefully we can get some ladies in too.

Any chance of a noob (say < 6 months lifting) category ?

O thought about doing an over 60 category, but decided against it. If there are too many categories there won't be any clear winners. That said, I'm happy to asterisk entries.

Dru

Did you say deadlift?

I am hoping to eclipse this soon..(doing a comp on may 4th)..but 585@198 is my best so far

Ramping Allowed

wtf is ramping?

[drudixon]

wtf is ramping?

Its where the bar starts in front of you and you roll it towards you before lifting. Its in magnussens world record. It makes me worse, but I don't know how to do it.

ok; I know what you mean. didn't know there was a name for it. I don't do that though.

No probs. I will probably dominate ID soon anyway.
BRB increasing my max by like 80%...

[pharmamarketer]

Not my best (best on vid) but here is something to get going. 460lbs at 192lbs

Edit-maybe you can get it stickied. I am sure many of us will be back with more vids

Waiting for HardNheavy. I know he has a 600lb pull at just over 200 from this year!

Also.....Bustsinclair is a stump ripper too!

Lots of good and great pullers in the >35.

My goal is to join the 600+lb crew soon. But in the end, it is the pursuit of improvement that drives us all. I hope some of the bigger numbers dont stop anyone from posting vids. IMPROVEMENT and the drive to do so is what really gets my respect.

I hope to see some good 1st time PR's up in here. I dont care if they are 315's 405's or whatever! Let see it!

[Get-n-fit]

Dam, my weight group has already killed me, but it gives me inspiration to push harder. My best is 435 @205...can't even compete with Getsum

I'm losing before entering too. Best is 405 x 2 at 195. Maybe I should dump my cut just so I can do better in this comp.

[Rocky3540]

Another comp? As usuall..... I am in.

[anonymous]

LOL, I'm thinking I know the answer to this but are strap allowed?

In for this. I'm planning on pulling 350 as many times as I can in 2 weeks.

[drudixon]

Sure are.

[-=FLEX=-]

Sure are.

For teh womenz only, right?

[induced_drag]

LOL, I'm thinking I know the answer to this but are strap allowed?

I am a big fan of straps and really have no issue with them at all. Some purists scoff at them, but hell....this is not a grip competition, it is a lifting one.

With that said, I have ditched straps for my max attempts since I am going to be competing and straps are not allowed officially.

I say, use what you like.....but be prepared to take a little ribbing if you do

[trev71]
