Car Deadlift Simulation - 10 Plates/Side

[TomMutaffis]

Some lifting from yesterday, loaded up the Hammer Strength Deadlift with 10 plates/side for a triple.

This simulates a car deadlift without having to set up a bunch of barbells/dumbbells/etc.

At the end of the video you can see that the equipment was tempting me to do a drop set...

Strong... plus a very clever use of shrug machine. It's cool that your gym allows that.

Thank you - it is actually a Hammer Strength Deadlift Machine, but looks very similar to the Shrug Machine (they also have one at this gym).

It is a Golds Gym and I am pretty mellow when I am not overloading the machines so I don't seem to be a concern to them. I also wouldn't do anything that would damage any equipment.

Wait setting up all that was easier than loading up a BB???

Why not just deadlift?

To simulate a car deadlift you would need to get two barbells, a rack to put them against, dumbbells to anchor the barbells, and then load a similar number of plates. In many cases you also need platforms as well since the initial height is too low to pull from.

Here are examples:






Trap bar can also be used but a pivot lift is much more similar to the real deal, and most trap bars at commercial gyms are the type that can only hold 5-6 plates/side.

I did not know that, but further validates the effectiveness of the machine if he is using it! Thank you.
