Around 630. 

Cool. My goal is 7 plates or even maybe 700

Do you think that is realistic?  My sad attempt at 410 is not indicative at all of my strength, honestly, I should have done 475 with that same form, so a clean 510 is my goal and I bet I get there sooner than later.  I just can't believe how horribly that lift went yesterday.

It is very possible and I have trained in heaps of gyms in 3 different countries for years each time to know I'm nothing compared to some of the other freaks out there, lol ! I'm 31 and I know I have at least 20 lbs to go on my legs to make them comparable to my upper body (I didn't start training them till I was 22 or something due to an ankle injury from long ago). So yeah, I think I can do it. But my bench and squat are nothing special, although my shoulder's not too bad either.

The most impressive thing is he managed to complete the lift with that awful fucking music in the background!!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!? 

/i'd laugh except my place played 'it's raining men' the other day.....wtf! 

[Matt C]

'it's raining gay men'

Fixed.

Sounds like my university gym's selection of music. 

[PANDAEMONIUM]

I'm a lifetime natural and my best DL was 5 reps with 540 at a bodyweight of 215. How much would that work out to, for the 1 rep max?

Damn bro that's an incredible lift for your BW.  Projecting 1RM's for the DL are hard for a number of reasons, but that being said I'd say that with a bit of training to acclimate your CNS to progressively bigger weights, you could hit 650-675 without much problem if you're able to handle 540 for 5.

[PANDAEMONIUM]

haha, that first lift was done on christmas day. believe it or not, that scream after the deadlift is the RADIO, not someone in the gym.

510. i was also probably 260 when i did it. i recently got 515 at 229. my pull's been real fucking stagnant for the past year.  but hey, considering i lost 50 pounds (i know it's only 30 there, but i WAS 270 and got to 219), i'd say i'm doing all right.

I'd say you're doing a lot better than just "all right".  Besting your previous best lifts after losing about 20% of your total BW is pretty damn impressive I'd say.

MG is one strong "burly" broskie

i hear that... usually someone yanking a particular weight for 5 reps is only good for about 30-40 more lbs on a single... deadlift is a hard one to pick for sure.

BUT I'm pulling 635 for 3 no problem and am right at 700 according to alot of people. I smoke 675 off the floor and do reverse banded deads with 765 with 90lbs off the bottom so here's hoping. If someone is pulling mid 500's for 5 I'd give them close to if not right at 600 for a good guess.

[Hurricane Beef !]

Yeah, lol.  I would have probably just edited that out.  Which brings me to a problem I have when getting my lifts filmed - I do the lift too soon without mentally focusing enough on the task at hand.  In the future I will just prep myself mentally and edit the buildup time in the completed clip.  I will be able to lift a little more if I do so.

I'll be posting more clips as I continue to review supplements and hopefully will be at Zach's level eventually.  I just finished using NO-XS by Higher Power yesterday and will finalize this review tonight:

Final Grade = C.

I look forward to now using Syntrax Nitrous starting today and will keep everyone updated on how that goes.

Matt a few years back The Beef used MetRX Creatine monohydrate, it was great. Then use a pre mix ( MT ) it was shit. You have any advice on a good product along the MetRX lines?

Also what is the best fat burner for someone wanting to avoid T3

[candidizzle]

at 190 i DL'd 405 3 times

yeah if DANZIG was playing he would hav lifted heavier

[gordiano]

Zach (Magoo), do you compete?

[columbusdude82]

Hey Maggot! You should have come for the arnold weekend and taken part in some of the lifting events around the expo!

[MisterMagoo]

Zach (Magoo), do you compete?

i keep trying to hit meets, but things come up. i'm aiming for an ADAU meet which is raw and drug tested, from what i've seen i might not do THAT badly if i get down into the 220 weight class (not too hard since i'm 229 now). i'm definitely not strong enough to be a 242, and no way in hell my 6'2" frame is gonna make it to the 198s.

columbus, dude i wanted SO damn bad to make it, but i couldn't get off work and i needed the money to pay off a speeding ticked. now i gotta drive EXTRA fucking careful 'cause the trooper was a bitch and gave me 4 points on my license. gah. 

[The Squadfather]

You've gone from being skinny (the psych ward pics) to being a typical 15% bodyfat gym guy. 

post your picture and show us all what a real muscular freak of nature you are.

It is very possible and I have trained in heaps of gyms in 3 different countries for years each time to know I'm nothing compared to some of the other freaks out there, lol ! I'm 31 and I know I have at least 20 lbs to go on my legs to make them comparable to my upper body (I didn't start training them till I was 22 or something due to an ankle injury from long ago). So yeah, I think I can do it. But my bench and squat are nothing special, although my shoulder's not too bad either.

How many natural guys have you seen pull 700? Take a look at powerlifting comp results, even in the juiced feds, and see how many hit 700+. Yes, 700 as a natural and fairly lean (i.e. not a 340lb lardass) = freak.

Take a look at drug tested comp results, IPF for example, and see what the best pull in your weight class with a suit on (which may add a lot, especially in sumo).

Kiwi's a genetic freak, so I wouldn't worry about it.  He could hit 700 with some specialized training.

he 'claims' to deadlift 540 for 5.

and now your giving him 700 with some specialised training?

you could stick with discussing something you might know a little about, fatman, but i doubt any of us would find what the menu at arby's is offering of little interest.

fuck your dumb.

lol.

Why do you reply to every post I make?  Seems a little creepy TBH. 

Anyway, why don't you try hitting the gym occasionally.  Once you get enough experience and can throw around some heavy iron, then come talk to us.

I heard no one attempted to deadlift 135 once, but his sports bra snapped and threw him "out of the groove".
