Guys,
If squatting 2X your body weight is very good, How would you measure what a good deadlift ratio would be??? (2.5 X bodyweight?)
Thanks

He means you can't just take your bodyweight and multiply by a number to give a "good" deadlift. Your build and height can seriously affect your lift numbers. A guy at 5'6" at 175lb will almost always deadlift more than someone 6'3" at the same 175lb bodyweight. The shorter guy has the mechanical advantage, unless the 6'3" guy has midget legs LOL.
But the multiplier is a good rough estimate for someone of normal height/weight ratio.

i think the 400 deadlift is kind of the equivalent of the 300 bench. its what most people look to as impressive.....
like another guy said though as long as you keep going up thats what counts cause we are all different and have different natural strangth levels, and different levels of potential through genetics...

Sure you can. As a "rough guide", like I said.
Sure... but that just means the 6'3 guy needs to get stronger and fill out his frame if he wants to have a good lift. I don't see how it is contrary at all to the validity of bodyweight multiples.
There will be skewing at extreme ends of both height/weight and anthropometry, definitely. But again, I don't see this as a problem for bodyweight multiples as benchmarks.http://youtube.com/user/Kiknskreem

Yes it is a "rough guide", but just keep in mind that there are mechanical advantages when doing certain lifts. Shorter people can perform the deadlift much easier than taller people and the person's BF% and musculature will skew the magical 2.5xBW number
For those that are taller, the conventional deadlift turns into a 1/2 squat 1/2 deadlift because of the extra height and ROM.

Well I guess if you consider 5'9" tall?
It appears I was confusing it with the disadvantage with Squats. Sorry bout that I would think the fulcrum would be the same with deadlifts though, maybe not.
