-If you deadlift, you post.
-If you think about deadlifting, you post.
-If you are planning an awesome PR, you bring a camera.
-If you fail a deadlift, you post.
-If you win, you don't really win. Keep posting.
-We will try to arrange for insane mod reps for winners.
-Monetary prizes can be discussed at a later point in time.
-For your six-plate deadlift, you may only use a belt, gloves and chalk. NO STRAPS.

^LOL!
How on earth did I miss out on this thread? Deadlifts are my #1 favorite lift
And oooh 400Lb. Gorilla is in this too?

I'm almost there. I'll have a crack 600lbs in about 3 weeks. Here's 573lbs at 198lbs body weight. I'm 5'8" 32 years old

Squat + deadlift = hardcore results!

in on the race

[YoanaOrton]

140 deadlift. 1 year ago when I was 13... :3

[Training918]

I hit 525lbs at 177lbs. Im competing in a powerlifting meet in 20 days, already registered and booked hotels

I still have 75lbs to go to hit 600lbs. I want to be 182lbs or below when I hit 600lbs. If I could do it this year I would be estatic. Anything u guys think I could do differently to gain some strength on my deadlift?

Nice work in here guys, getting back up there yesterday pulled 345 clean, did 365 but could not get full lockout. I'll get that next pull day. Cant say I'm after a 600 lb lift being 56 years old and admire you guys that are but my goal is 405
vids are up in my thread.

Good luck in all these goals

I just recently started doing deadlifts and I am trying to get over 400 pounds. I will post tomorrow after I go and actively lift and dead lift. Awesome post

[Doronxl7]

132 kg (291 lbs)

[aclockworkoi]

Pulled 440x2x5 last night. That puts my estimated max at over 510lbs.

First Deadlift session ever tonight, very excited have an strange pre-disposed fear to start about back injuries but take confidence in that by starting light and focusing on form I'm far less likely to do any damage. Can't wait to track my improvement over the next few months.

[Weaver14]

In on this! Hit 525x2 bout a month back, have taken a little break from maxing out on my prs. Ready for the journey to 600 to begin! Focusing more on stretching and bringing my hammies up

[phone789]

good! good! good! good! good! good! good!

[oconns28]

very cool

posted this in the misc DL competition thread, and just remembered this thread from years back...

well, finally got it:



While not a "traditional" 6 plate deadlift because I used 100lb plates and kilo plates, it was the same weight as a 6 plate deadlift.

two 100lb (metal plates) + six 25kg plates + two 5lb plates (small metal plates on end) + 45lb bar = 585.

Next major long-term goal is a 4 plate bench. Currently at 380.

Does trapbar deadlifting count? Injured my back doing conventional so gonna spend the next year mainly focusing on trapbar. Can make it a race to 300kg (7 plates) to make it fairer

Video from last week, hit 200kg for 5 earlier today.

[TheBeastTyler]

I hit a Deadlift for 455 a few weeks ago, and then hit 415x4 last week. I'm gonna see what I can do tomorrow!

EDIT: I don't remember how to embed. I'm uploading the files from my computer and it says the file failed to load. Same thing happened when I tried to upload it from instagram.

[simodasink]

Not been on bb.com in a while so missed out on this! Currently injured but pb'd about 6 weeks ago on deads (my favourite lift by a mile) 205kg . Be working back to that after injury! Great to see some of the big lifts on here.

I'm doing Layne Norton's PH3 Trainer. Hoping to crack 5 plates by the end of it!

Recent video of doing 400lbs for AMRAP....I used straps though. I don't know how you guys have such strong grip strength!!

[khrisk]

was lifting for about 1 year, then i hit a 475 dead lift in march

just start dead lifting again.. 500 scares me, but im still at 475.
changing my stance from regular to sumo has made it easier to rep out 405.. so im going to quit regular stance

[jkhawaja12]

I guess ill join on this challenge since my max is 225x1 so i have a long way to go

[daawhitty]

Hit 1x5 for 2 plates today. Felt brilliant double overhand and held it at lockout for a good count..
Looking forward to 3 plates in a few months..

[giorgi3092]

How long have been working out guys?
