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

Why do you have to pull 515

just takes consistency my man, and yeah the angle makes my feet look closer to the plates than they really were lol

Yeah did back routine today. Did Pullups, Reverse Grip Pulldowns, T-Bar Rows, Barbell Rows and finished with deadlifts. Did Deadlifts at the end but I was ****ed. I'm not using straps anymore, stopped using about 6 weeks ago. Used chalk today. Got 5 plates finally, x1 rep. 485lbs. Reached my goal surprisingly fast. No belts, no straps, etc. I was really ****ed anyway because I didn't breath out on the sets before that and was feeling weird in the head and the ears. Trainer told me to exhale. That made it easier, damm. Anyway, 5 plates, I'm happy. Hope to reach 6 soon.

**UofACATS** · 10-19-2010, 11:20 PM

That's a lot of work. Personally I'd do deadlifts first, but that's me. The chalk really helps.

I set another PR but aggravated my neck injury. Very close to my goal.. very frustrating to be injured.. My goal is 405, I pulled 395x1 yesterday.

**Train2Failure** · 10-20-2010, 01:01 AM

well, the day after and I am very very sore. I only did deadlifts at the end because when I'm doing a moderate reps routine for 3 weeks (12-15), I start with my upper back and work my way downwards. When I do low reps (4-6) I start with deadlifts. Only reason I tried 1RM was because this thread has really really inspired me to deadlift more and more! I used to be afraid of doing 1RM stuff, but now it really shows you need good technique and control over your body. Powerlifting is awesome and shows true strength!

**LPMNDCTE** · 10-20-2010, 10:56 AM

Guess I'm on the weak end of the thread with a standard deadlift pull of 377x1 with a surpinated grip and locking it out. After my deload week, I'm going to increase this drastically.

**Reidy** · 10-21-2010, 06:07 PM

Got 6 plates today! Added on two 5's just for good measure.

Re-reads thread... Oh ****. 6 plates on each side...

Still, deadlifts are my favorite lift and I hope to one day get to that vaunted number.

Cool thread.

**Reidy** · 10-21-2010, 06:12 PM

Also, here's a pretty cool video I stumbled upon from one of my buddies who's big into CrossFit. The entire video is pretty cool, but the deadlifting starts at the 4 minute mark, culmininating in Dave Lipson's 605 lb deadlift.

Pretty cool stuff.

**The Shoeless Wonder** · 10-21-2010, 06:29 PM

congrats on your pr. looks like you were rocking on your feet though, but it could be the shoes

**wannabmuscle** · 10-29-2010, 05:53 PM

I had my first meet today weighed in at 138 and got a 275 dealift.

**ekmi** · 10-31-2010, 07:26 PM

just putting in my last deadlift PR in this thread..

**Blizzard589** · 10-31-2010, 09:38 PM

Great job on those PRs everyone. Keep up the good work. ekmi, speed off the ground was amazing for such a maximal lift.

Here's my PRs for the day:

1x1x525 <--super huge PR

1x1x535 (hitched) <--even more PR, too bad it was hitched... First time ever hitching a deadlift

**Ironlife** · 11-01-2010, 12:17 AM

Blizz, your a credit to this site.

**Jrahe42** · 11-01-2010, 04:44 PM

Blizz, your pull looks like crap because the guy above you did 605 (with straps) you still got me beat though (for now)

**Train2Failure** · 11-04-2010, 04:29 AM

got 530lbs today, clean x1 rep. attempted 550lbs, got it up...BUT really weak form. it came up to my knees and the bar started to tip, my back was ****ing up my posture. I DID NOT WANT TO DROP IT. but i got it up, but asked the personal trainer and he said i shouldnt count it as a lift, but was a good attempt! tried 1rep max twice so far on deadlift. hoping to hit 575lbs in a couple of months.

**Gopack2** · 11-05-2010, 10:51 PM

I hope you don't mind a newcomer but I am in fellas...not sure what my max is now. I will post it tomorrow...

**The Shoeless Wonder** · 11-05-2010, 11:56 PM

485 for 6 singles yesterday

**-Lucifer** · 11-06-2010, 01:08 PM

man thats awesome. keep it up.

**Gopack2** · 11-07-2010, 05:22 AM

Did a chest workout and pull ups then maxed on deads at the end.
Bar x 15 wu
135 x 5
225x2
315x1
405x1
425x1 still felt good going up pretty easily
455x1 got it up but don't think I was breathing properly because when I locked it out vision was red and felt light headed. ha. So I will say my max is 425 and go from there. No vids yet but hopefully soon.

**Ghioben** · 11-07-2010, 05:58 AM

Nice thread. IN!

**-Lucifer** · 11-07-2010, 06:22 AM

Okay, I'll regularly update this thead with my pathetic deadlift numbers.

Current max is 355x1. I expect to pull at least 405 by the end of this year. I have 7 weeks to do that.

**dylan007** · 11-07-2010, 02:38 PM

nice your a monster!

**TUnit** · 11-08-2010, 06:51 PM

585 x 1 for the first time today!
