Title: How much do the toughest of getbiggers deadlift!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: MONSTER_TRICEPS on November 26, 2008, 08:26:19 AM
Discuss, how much can you do on the lift of all lifts?

Or do you think hyperextensions are just as good?

my traps tend to grow too much from it, it wouldnt be that much of a problem if the rest would grow as hard from it too.

I got 405 before, but I thought one of my testes was going to fly off. I don't go above 315 or 335 now.

At the end of back workouts in the past I'd knock out 400lbs for a few sets of 12 to work the low back, but I never went for a max deadlift.
Title: Re: How much do the toughest of getbiggers deadlift!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: JasonH on November 26, 2008, 10:08:07 AM
About 465lbs. I am utterly shite at deadlifting because my lower back has been weakened from abusing the exercise in my teens when I first started training. I have never been able to hit the magical 500lb mark. I rarely do deadlifts these days but I love squats and benches.

You've also squatted 400 + FOR REPS, stud. So dead lifting that should not be a problem.  ;)

Buddy of mine says you aren't a man unless you can pull at least 200kg (440lbs). "You should be able to pull that just by doing some yard work"   :D

I've done 700+ @ about 220lbs.

ive done 5 plates for 3 reps, no straps either........ no matter how long ive neglected deadlifts im always able to rep out with 3 plates, 4 plates is a matter of a few weeks,, 5 after a few month,,, tore my hamstring doin a warm up set with only 50k each side of the bar last christmass tho?

id say bench is a better test of strength,,, not many able to chuck up 3 plus plates

Right now it's about a 1RM with 480~ because I'm dieting..

515 for a single, 495x3 touch and go. weighed just under 220 for each.

my problem is i hang out on the PL and training boards with guys like overload, wickedtruth, and lift4size where 455 is a speed set or a warmup, then i lift with a guy that hit 620 last week after a sheiko cycle. i need weaker friends.  >:(

315 is average. A girl I know pulled 225 with no belt the first time she deadlifted. She was 5'9" and 160lbs. Anyone can pull 315 with a few months of training.

I think that deads are great BUT I also think that good mornings are far better for posterior chain strength.I think if you do good mornings with a suspended bar in a power rack,its much safer,you use more back muscle and you develope more strength to be able to pull bigger weights.I never did regular deads from the floor and ALWAYS pulled over 700 at meets.Id rely on good mornings,reverse hypers and pulls off blocks with bands for speed and open at 700+ every meet.

lol, you're right about that.

true story, a few weeks ago i was benching and when i got to 315 a guy asked me if i needed a spot. totally casually, and not thinking, i said "nah dude, it's only three plates". he looked at me like i was a jackass, and it didn't occur to me until after he left how unbelievably cocky it sounds to shrug off 315 on the bench like "why would i need a spot for that?"  :P

yo bilderass, that sounds a lot like dave tate's theory that if your legs are strong enough to jump up onto a curb you should be able to squat 300 pounds. i'm a little skeptical myself.  :-X

At my strongest i was repping 500lbs easily pon last set. Numerous witnesses

Then 2 weeks before a PLing comp got sick. Trained heavy as i was afraid to back cycle, hurt back overtrained, had a shit comp. Only now am i getting strong and feeling good again.

However that happening has created like a mental block on my deads now.

All I have is a couple of face shots. The body sucks too much.  :'( Not that the face is handsome.  :D
You don't have to look like much to be a strong puller. Look at Ano Turtiainen for example. Or Gary Heisey here:

It was mostly said in a joking manner. But many are afraid of the lift. If guys just invested time into it many would be pulling good weights

I've been doing lots of good-mornings this past year. Less draining than deads; I can load heavy 2-3 times per week.

I actually didn't deadlift then.  I was doing this back before Ray's gym.  After I blew out my L4 and L5 I gave it up.  And his best lifting was squatting.  I didn't see him deadlift.  He might of in the morning.  MaxRep might know

   Thanks! How is your back now?  What kind of squatt program was he on? Did he still train on the HD system, or was it something else, more casual?  Did you see him do the reported 900 for a double? Did he do AtG or parallel?
