I too am on the road to a six plate (sumo) deadlift. My old max was a beltless 475 and I just got 420x5 today easily. Hopefully I will get 440x5 by friday. I want to break 585 (beltless or belt, whichever comes first) by thanksgiving. My training is in my log.

**king_james15** · 09-29-2010, 04:11 PM

Well gonna try 440 for 8 singles today. Haven't deadlifted in a good two weeks so we'll see how this goes...

~300, we'll see in comp. haven't 1RM'd in a while

**inthematrix** · 10-07-2010, 10:49 AM

just came across this thread....

working towards 600/272.5

last workout was three sets of 225kgs, reps - 3,2,1

a few workouts to go on this cycle, deadlift on wednesdays

every 2nd wednesday is heavy at the moment, other workout is deadlift with chains/bands/partials etc...

next week wednesday, we're aiming for 230X1 and 235X1

i deadlift conventionall;

also, straps? straps make a huge difference... i'd guess 20lbs... for those dead`ing with straps, try your pr without and see what you get

**The Shoeless Wonder** · 10-07-2010, 12:51 PM

460 for 7 singles

thanks bro.

the whole "grip and rip" idea really changed it for me

sitting in the hole prepping myself makes it aloot harder

**zmcdole** · 10-11-2010, 10:50 AM

**tunagoat** · 10-11-2010, 10:19 PM

http://s1028.photobucket.com/albums/...urrent=026.mp4

Followed by 225x10

Here is my lifting partner.. She weighs in at 138 and pulled 225x1

These are the first videos I have ever taken so I think I can learn a lot.. I though I was getting my ass down more and using more leg.. What do you guys think I need to work on form wise..
Thanks guys
Ben

your friend has to keep her back more upright.
yours looked alright, though it's kinda dark. also looked like you were about to curl the bar with your left hand.

Thanks -- Ya kinda dark.. IDK how to lighten up a video.. I can lighten pics - weird ..

Oh --- No shoes on those lifts

.. Your fault but I like it

**wicked1992** · 10-13-2010, 07:03 PM

Two weeks after I last posted, had two weeks of PRs. Today got 480x5 hoping to get 485x5 tomorrow and then 490x5 on friday. I feel like I'm closing in for this part of the cycle soon. This calculator says my 480x5 deadlift equates to a 541 pound one rep max.

**matt297** · 10-14-2010, 03:40 AM

Nice lift tuna.

As Sis said your girl needs to get her back straight. Strong lift though

**Scurn** · 10-16-2010, 07:02 PM

Get out of here.

**The Shoeless Wonder** · 10-17-2010, 08:29 AM

forgot about this thread. pulled 505 on Friday.

around 40 seconds

**musicianman** · 10-17-2010, 11:43 AM

Grats on the deadlift PRs, everyone. Shoeless, your pull means I have to pull 515 in three weeks. 525 if you pull 515 before then.

I've been on Smolov, so I haven't been posting here.

**Train2Failure** · 10-18-2010, 02:52 AM

Farout. No Straps? I havn't been doing deadlifts for a long time, but they are essential and am doing them in every back routine. Any tips on increasing forearms strength? I can get 463lbs with straps x1. Havn't tried without, but gurantee I could only do 397lbs. Goal is to get clean lift with no straps, 485lbs. I'm only 18 and have only been lifting for a year, so 6 plates is a little unrealistic. Looking for a clean 5 very sooon!

Deadlift without straps.

And you haven't tried, but you guarantee you couldn't get it? Bro..

**Reid456** · 10-18-2010, 01:21 PM

Not sure if I'm ever going to hit 6 plates with my frame and maximum natural bodyweight but I'm trying to hit 4 plates within the next year. Right now I have an injured lower back so I'm sad I can't deadlift for probably the next month just to be safe. My PR before my injury was 315x6 so it was around 360 max at a bodyweight of 160. I'm not even sure how I hurt my back I just started getting weaker on front squats and deadlifts until one day my back started hurting and I figured I strained something down there.

I'm really pumped to get back to full health and restart my journey to 4 plates. I started at 185x5 two years ago.

**Rog447** · 10-18-2010, 02:44 PM

Who's pullin here?!

500x8

All posters ITT are teh hardk0ar. Using machines is considered 'unhardk0ar'.

**BigD_SEVA** · 10-18-2010, 04:55 PM

its either use that thing for shrugs or tickle my dick with the BB which in its self is distracting
