Not technically deadlifts but I've been using the trap bar at varying heights to train around my knee pain and just pulled 585 for 6 in a controlled touch n go.

Awesome lift! I love the last lift. Ton of effort. You got it next time, no doubt. WTG!

Very nice! You had that 385 with just a bit more explosion off the floor. In my observations, people seem to be grouped into two different camps regarding power off the floor. Some people pry it off the floor (like you do) and some people explode off the floor (like me); not sure which is better, but intuitively it would seem the explosion off the floor gives more momentum.....then again, exploding off the floor may subject a person to more of a risk of a bicep tear. Meh, just an observation. Kick ass lifts either way!!!

Nice!! Your technique looks dead on! You've got 400+ eventually I think.

Great job beatha.

Thanks Guys pharmamarketer, drudixon, hardNheavy2011, storm1507 and others who repped me.

Interesting, I've heard of being explosive off the floor, even read about deficit deads helping with that. But I have not yet figured out how to do that at any wt near my max. Agree that the 385 was defiantly a pryer. Had way more back involvement than I would have liked it to have had. The previous two lifts I never felt it in my back but that 3rd one felt like ALL back since my hips never really got down properly & they came up too fast.

Another deadstop rep PR yesterday...

Yeah, I agree with your assessment. Here's my 600# lift from my last Meet on May 4. Notice how I do sort of a power tug at the beginning of the lift. I'm not saying you should do this, it's just the way I learned. Old habits hard to break

That girl sitting behind me deadlifted 480#

Way to dig deep bro! Great set!

[PersonaNonGrata]

210kg deadlift @ 73kg body weight (462lbs at 162lbs)
Form not great, and a bit wobbly at lockout but i got it!

[storm1507]

Awesome pull. Nothing wroing with that form at all.

Looked good. Will need a consensus on if it counts. Was hard to tell.

[PersonaNonGrata]

All i can say is that it felt good to me (unlike last weeks, which i couldnt lock out)

I'll be back with 215 in 2 weeks anyway

If I were judging, I'd give it to him. No hitching and the bar kept moving. Full lockout. Lift is good!

[drudixon]

Cmon gang. Let's get some new lifts here. I'm getting close to 175 and will toss a vid into that weight class once I get there.

Deleted dup entry. (was in on page 6)

Was waiting for you to post that. Monster lift! Love seeing that many plates on the bar. I'll update standings when we get a few more entries.

Standing first in line to say gig congrats!


Nothing like pressure to make you perform . Own it!

Thanks guys. I'm off work today since I have to work Monday on our National Holiday, so I am very well rested, unlike most days when I train on about 5 hours of sleep or so.

I feel good. Having some coffee then heading to the gym. It's raining anyway, of course.

[PersonaNonGrata]

Counting down to my first 3x body weight attempt on monday - 484lbs/220kg at 161lbs/73kg.
Bit nervous about the pyschological barrier to tell the truth!

Hell yeah! Good luck. I hope to get there (3x) within the next year. Vids!

Nice lift. I saw your squat vid...what was your total?

Thanks! I hit 1400 even. 505/305/590. Now, the Quest is for 1600 in 2 years.

Failed horribly i think i'm still recovering from the 180kg volume session i did last week, but 220kg might as well have been 1000kg, it wasn't coming off the floor! That's the first time that's ever happened. It is the third 1RM session i've done in 4 weeks, so i think i've overdone it a bit

Hence my entry remains at 210kg/2.88x bodyweight - i'm going to focus on some other lifts for a couple of months now (my bench press is tragic). Definitely not giving up on this though!
