Deadlift PR - 180kg (397lb) @ 84kg (185lb)

[Flounderbout]

I know that posting actual lifting videos is probably frowned upon now that the O35 has turned into the forum for obvious trolling and assorted ridiculousness, but thought I would give it a pop anyway.

My biggest ever DL to date has been 165kg (363lb) back in November, and I have been trying to sort out my horrible form ever since. I tried 170kg last week and it may as well have been welded to the floor.
But in today's DL session my form seemed to be a bit tighter, so I tried some heavy singles, culminating in a 180kg pull (397lb). The form's still far from perfect, but I was pretty stoked with a 33lb leap in my PR.



PS yes, the victory jig at the end was a joke.

Good job on the lift and looked like double overhand too. I'm jealous! On spread

thanks for converting the kg to lb for me too

[mal1ce]

Looked like a good pull, went up pretty smooth.

Gj op.

Awesome buddy. That is a great jump up in weight. I am on spread with you. Hopefully Iceman hits you up for the PR

[DocHoss]

Too bad I'm on spread with you, but kudos!

I've all but given up lurking the 035. Congrats on the PR and thanks for sharing.

[pvsampson]

Well done Flounderbro!!

[Sen8or]

Dude, that's freakin awesome

[doughnutgut]

Flounder. Only reason I popped into the O35 general area was to see if you posted this in here.

Nice one buddy. Fantastic barbending lift. Heyuge PR jump. Worthy of huge props.

Now post this in the o35 this week thread where it will stay and be admired.

Inspiring stuff fella.

[raynerd]

Rocked the lift, rocked the dance!

[SteveWright1]

congrats Flounderbout
I do not often come out from under my bridge and sacrifice my billy goat gruff protein snacks

but I made an exception for this excellent PR

[JimmyJonny]

Congrats....... on spread also.

[discdoggie]

Well done. Why is posting lifting vidz frowned upon now? What did I miss?

[Flounderbout]

Cheers all! Much too many posts to multiquote everyone, but I do appreciate the support. Its funny I was just getting to a point where I was getting a bit down about lifting - my form wasn't improving and I felt like I was getting nowhere. So it was kind of the gods of iron to throw me a bone - am now massively enthused all over again! Funny how it can be like that.

2.5 x BW at 80kg is 200kg, which is my next major target (needs a mild cut too!). First I have to buy some more weights though. With 180kg on I had four 1.25kg plates left, and hardly any room on the bar!

Good job on the lift and looked like double overhand too. I'm jealous! On spread

Cheers BLK - not DOH - strapless but mixed grip w chalk...

congrats, floundah! i am very excited for you.

Thanks geek. Some first class giffery there. I think if celebratory jigs are going to be come the norm I need to work on mine a bit...

Now post this in the o35 this week thread where it will stay and be admired.

Thanks DNG. Feel like enough of an attention whore posting it in here as well as my journal - so will spare the this week in the O35 thread!

Cheers DD - was just being grumpy and facetious about the general level of content in the main forum recently. A lot of the serious posters seem to have migrated into the journal section or just disappeared...

[ShreddySmurf]

That's a great lift. I'm currently at 78kg and I can only manage 140kg for a single deadlift, so 180@84 is very impressive!

[tobymax123]

Awesome! And double overhand, no straps or grips? Very good lift.

[gnfit1u]

Congrats on the lift, nice job! and as was said, double over hand grip, sweet!

[EB68]

Nice lift FB. You are closing in on me quickly now. But at least I dance better then you
On spread as usual.

Congrats, my man. You deserved the jig at the end. This is a stepping stone to greater things.

Congrats! Now when people ask how much weight you deadlift you can say "all of it"

. . until you buy some new plates

I like that!

[ilovethe80s]

What?!? That was SO easy! Congrats, your deadlift is really climbing, and double overhand is no joke

[Simpske]

Awesome lift.

[MartinMaggie]

soon, 200.

[QuickDad]

Flounder is strong. Big lift mate. You made it look pretty comfortable but I know this is because of all the hard work that has gone on to get here.
