Hey guys, just thought i'd post a video of my recent deadlift. Ive been training for 2 years but just started dead lifting 6 months ago. I want to be a bodybuilder and I train like a bodybuilder, but heavy weight still motivates me. Is 355 good for 6months? Also how was my form and do you think i can get 400 by the end of the year?
I probably could have done 370ish but it was my 1st time maxing and i didn't want to overdue anything.

You have to put yourself first or people will put you second.

your on the right track. training like a bodybuilder means sets and reps. You have good form and your back stays straight throughout the lift, and thats great. I wouldn't max out too much, instead do as much weight as you can for 3-4 reps. That way you can still go heavy, but make the muscle work and grow. You'll be repping over 400 in no time.

I would suggest you throw away the straps but aside from that I say excellent and effortless lift
Id say 370 is on the table waiting for you, just dump the straps and hold on for dear life

08-09-2007, 06:18 AM #7anonymousGuesth?h? i started deadlift in march very lightly and i'm up to 450lbs now, pull 350lbs for 5-6 reps without problems. Hoping to get 550lbs before New Years eve.Originally Posted by NoGrandma
On-topic: form seems good tho we can't see your upper body at lockout. I've had pretty crappy form on deadlifts most of the time till bout 2 weeks ago, getting it right. I used to jerk it from the floor a bit and almost stiff-leg it up with flexed arms ( video in my bodyspace ). Good thing that's over

You have 400 in you already, looked like there was little struggle in that rep. Go for it and give it hell.

I don't think there is a problem using straps, peoples grips strength varies and without straps i could not make the gains in size and strength i have done and doing 440 pounds on the deadlift for 11 (my grip sucks especially when i broke 3 bones in my hand a bit ago lol) keep up the work man u will be able to hit that 400 in no time!Originally Posted by Arlecchino
