how do you guys deadlift so dam much

[stealth_swimmer]

for one thing, upper body and lower body have totally different muscles, so what someone bench presses is irrelevant to their deadlift.

second, seems like every time someone posts up a deadlift vid, they're using improper form and inviting injury just to brag about how much weight they're using. Bound to catch up to them eventually...but even if it doesn't, it's still increasing the chances of injury.


Also depends on structure and flexibility, I imagine. OP, your deadlift seems kinda low compared to your squat. For me, deadlifts are way easier than squats. They get me more tired, but in terms of how much weight i can use, I can use much more weight on deads than on squats. I struggle with 205 on squat but can do 275 on deads (only a couple reps though cus my grip gives out. I'm gonna keep working with that weight to strengthen my grip, though).

bench is within 60lbs of raw squat even though I have long arms and a disproportionate deadlift crew checking in

[shamsta]

Generally if someone has long arms and a short torso than they are bargained to get a hyoooge deadlift.

The majority should be able to deadlift 180lb+ on their bench press, e.g. 315lb Bench, 495 DL,..., etc

[jono28613]

Maybe changing your form could be a quick fix. And to your question, some people are built different and come from different backgrounds. I deadlifted 275 the first time i ever attempted it and within 8 months or so i was in the 400's.

Just did 245x5, after slowly working up to it. Proud as fuk. All these brahs "first time DLing,245!" the fuk is going on

loled.

i benched like 160 while deadlifting 450

i can bench your bench 20+ times but cant even shrug your deadlift.

ITT OP copies my sig

[QisGQ]

Weight: 155

Squat: 355
Bench: 250
Dead: 385

Feelsgood. Just trying to get my dead to 405. Then I've reached all my goals. I also take NO supps. Have no strict diet. Was squatting with a bigger guy other day and he failed to hit 315, I was disappoint. Another big guy today failed to dead 365 I was doing, dissapoint again.

Inb4 black genetics

[hellbilly1912]

honestly i don't even know what my lifts are.

only do DBs for chest, just hit 80s for 7 reps last night. squat I've never gone for a 1rm, do 185x10 though for like 5 sets. DL 315x3 with straps, 275x6 without. been stuck there for like over a month now

[Stephen109]

When people talk about their lifts is it assumed it's a 1RM unless otherwise stated?

lol i made those numbers up. 100% srs. just coincidence.

[InsanelyFit]

Max 1RM DL @ 230kgs.

[Ronnie23G]

lol

[IPlayRugby]

Deadlift is at 451 @ 154 BW.
Squat is at 363 @ 154 BW
just got dem strong legs and back brah.

bench is only a poverty 231 @ 154 BW

[jono28613]

bump for more guys that bench 200 lbs less than they deadlift.

[qurs]

I can deadlift 430 and have never even unracked 200 pounds on the bench. Feels terrible.

[InChristAlone]

A lot of e stats, there are some very strong people on the Misc especially for low body weight, my max deadlift at 6'2" 235 lbs was 500 and that was mixed grip with chalk and training hard doing strongman for a year, bench was never past 295 tho lol

[Boifido]

Great deadlift terrible clean crew. 445 deadlift, 195 clean You beat me at cleaning

[BrayneGaines]

would rather have your lifts than theirs/10

mine are similar to yours already doe lol

deads are probably THE most overhyped lift ever

U wot m8?

They are the ONLY essential lift.

[BrayneGaines]

Oh, and my lifts are weird. At 215:

340 bench
325 squat
500 deadlift

[GKrZ]

Who was proportions and leverages?

[stone_free10]

@182 (no straps, no chalk, no belt)
last week (first time after like 8-9 months wanted to "see some lifts")

bench 255x1
squat 335x1
DL 365 (sumo)

bench cant go up at this moment, squat and dl for sure.
Might take a video of squat today.

[ruckin]

belt and chalk are 100% raw, you are only limiting yourself for no reason really.

i do have a reason actually. i lift to make myself a better rugby player. im not a powerlifter or bodybuilder. so i prefer not to use chalk in order to work on my grip strength more, which i need desperately for my position (i play lock, if you're familiar with the sport) to hold scrums together... also i dont think my uni gym allows chalk anyway.

as for the belt, i just dont see the point tbh. i'm not a competitive PLer. i dont need to hit certain numbers on my lifts in order to win a rugby match.

[Alexallthetime]

280 bench.
495x4 dead.
I dunno OP its just the way it be.

[Dutchspliff]

i dont think bench and dead have correlation with eachother

[Rayzor84]

I deadlift double overhand and have maxed at 415, gets tough though. That squeeze any fart inside of you out feel

My real question is what's with all these low bench stats, lifted 345x3 the other week (no e-stats). Is nobody going that hard in bench or what

Bc barbell bench sucks dik and is completely dependent on proportions and mechanics.

Brb dumbbell benching is the way to go.

[Divall213]

My deadlift is almost 3 times my bench.

Massive rotator cuff problems last year and half is the reasoning behind it tho

[Dutchk1d]

my bench sucks, squat sucks and deadlifts suck


I am, however adding 5lbs a week to the dead and hitting new PR's every week. Only good thing

[IngeKJ]

Get inspired OP:

Oh and stealth swimmer please don't give people advice on deadlifts if you pull 275. Don't make yourself look like more of a clown than you already are.

[Collincraig69]

405 dead lift checking in.

[smoopsy]

People aren't honest on the internets.

[TreyTrey]

365 for 7 last deadlift day

can't even bench 2 plates
