Race to three Plate Deadlift

[Thuirwyne]

RULES UPDATE (I am declaring new rules LOL):

Anyone can enter HOWEVER 275 is the official max starting weight of your pull. However many pounds you currently pull above that please add that to the total needed to win. YES we want to see your vid of your first pull of three plates YES you must post it here for our ooogling I mean enjoyment. To WIN you will need to stack weight on top of you are starting over 275.

For example Thuirwyne is starting with a max pull of 285 so to win she needs to pull 325 although we do want to see here 315 video

Personally I will be honoring every girl that gets this on my avi. Three plate DL for a chick is BAWSE AS FUKK.

...did I say 285?

[beatha]

How about everyone IN post a vid of their starting max pull by some near future date?

Not that it will tell us who's sandbagging but ehhhh viewing enjoyment.

Also hows about asking for split between 3 plates for Sumo vs conventional DL Race . . . . ummm that's assuming there are peeps planning to submit Sumo vids

Just a few thoughts

Good idea, I know mine's floating around in my journal somewhere.

Weird you mention that, I've been looking over a bunch of sumo vids (always do conventional) but figured it's worth a try since I've been stuck at my current max for a while. Those short t-rex arms are holding me back! Womanlet.jpg Would like to know who is planning on sumo.

why split sumo and conventional? its not raw vs geared, 315 is 315

They are not the same. Ask those who do both and have posted about an ability to do much more with Sumo. If op / others don't want to separate fine . . .

personally ive never seen anyone sumo over 800

[Wyomann]

Women tend to pull more sumo style, because of their builds typically. Hip strength vs back strength; women are usually going to pull more sumo where those baby making hips power through.

[Wyomann]

Not saying they should break up the competition between sumo and conventional style. Deadlift is deadlift, just get the weight off the floor!

I don't see a need to split sumo vs. Conventional since we are all pulling our best pull. My best is currently sumo. But srsly every chick that gets her three plates and posts vid (which I WILL be doing) is a winrawr and get her name in my avi. My avi that trolls all over the big misc too.

Agreed.

Sumo/conventional as I said are a lot about leverages and practice. It would take me WAY longer to get to 300 (or 315, etc.) pulling sumo since I've literally never done it.

I would love to see vids - even just ordinary workout deadlifts, rack pulls, pullups - whatever everyone does to get their dead up.


I'll be doing conventional primarily, as the sumo is still lagging behind, but will submit both videos when/if I get 3plates.

[beatha]

Woke up at 4:04 am this morning and wanted to run to the gym and test my DL . . . about 15 mins later common sense prevailed and I was out again Zzzzzz.


Btw, I'll be doing conventional may try sumo. Gotta new cam so I'll break it in by recording my fat azz ... stay tuned.


OP Thanks for clarification of rules . . . 3 is 3

[amazon22]

Currently can do 305 but 325 would make my head as big as Dora the Explorer!

[imnoturgirl]

IN and subbed!! Long time lurker here but i couldn't resist this competition
Currently 4 rep max is 115kgs which equates to 125kgs= 275.5 pounds does that qualify? Happy to post vid if needed
I have a Powerlifting comp in 4 weeks 2 days and will be attempting the big 3 plates there pulling Conventional style

Tried Sumo DL today for the first time (for the first time seriously doing it, tried it a couple yrs back when I was doing like 1 plate and I'm pretty sure was doing it 100% wrong then, lol.) Hit a PR today of 270! Sumo was much easier for me, I guess because I'm short and stocky. I usually only DL like once or twice a month, but now I'm goin' for it!

Ok, you asked for it! I recoreded my sets, wasn't planning on maxing, just trying to get the form and set up down for the Sumo DL. Here are a couple of em - lol at the screaming (goodthingihaveahomegym.jpg) and my stupid phone goes off on the last one but I was oblivious at the time. Is my form god awful? I'm thinking I need to get my shoulders back a bit more and work on lock outs but overall I was happy with it. Also I learned I own exactly 270lbs of plates lol so I ordered a couple 45s for WHEN I need to go past 270. (The big plates on there are only 35s, kinda aggrivating that they're shorter than 45s but I have the bar up on a 1/2" mat so I don't destroy my basement floor, evens out I suppose.)

[tina722]

^ Love it! And nice PR!


First time doing sumo?!! Very cool, it's taken me forever to get my hips comfortable in that position. I wouldn't consider you short...you got 3" on me.

this is also very impressive... and nice choice of music

[kjake55]

Nice job Hobbes! I wouldn't expect anything less from you.

[beatha]

Ham I bow to your superior grip and roaring voice


My disappointing starting point . . . less edited version than one in my journal which includes my final failed attempt at 275 . . .


Enjoy the crappy gym music and all

btw only watch the first 14 sec unless you wanna wait for me to rotate the bar so you'll can see both 45's since it's not clear from the side angle




Are you sure I can't have my hooks back Pretty please with a cherry on top

MEEETOOOOO.
OMG I abandoned my x5 week of 5 3 1 partly because I was at the gym with dec plates which I refuse to rep heavy with after an injury. Only heavy rep with round plates. But partly because I want to work up to heavy singles chasing the next PR and this race. SO um, the problem with Sumo is if it dies, it dies on the ground. There is no glorious meathead crashing of the loaded bar from below the knees. Oh no, there I am pulling with all my might on 270 and its moving as if its glued to the floor. By which I mean doesn't budge even one damn inch. Wait three minutes try again. Fail. Deload it to 260<-- still can't! DAFUK. So do a secon single of the x250 I did on the way up, leave the gym and eat sugar free popsicles until I pass out.

*sigh*

Don't be disappointed. Effort is effort and that was still great effort on your part! 275 is 274 3/4 more than many women would even think about which means you rock out loud!

Dont ya just hate having to settle? Still GJ starting @250

[illiniStrive]

I haven't deadlifted over 265 since before February... but something in me was just ON today.



This was after a max session on squats and bench. It was really really hard. I fear 325 will be very far off

Looks just around the corner to me

Trying Sumo really took the awkwardness away from DL - back, quads, hams, and shoulders felt like they were in a more natural position.


Beatha - nice 245, is grip the biggest issue? Ditch hooks, DL, DL, and DL some more = improved grip strength?

Never understood why gyms have those stupid hex plates, tried a couple times with those at the gym I go to, completely screwed me up, will never DL there again.

Holy crap, that was awesome!

[wakechica]

I tweaked my left glute lifting on Thursday. I had to stop after 3 sets. I was so tired and hadn't eaten enough. It started spasming yesterday and my left leg has been sore all the way down today from when I woke up. Not cool.....

Love the belt illinistrive

[NotBigEnough206]
