Title: Whats a respectable Deadlift?
Post by: Method101 on March 19, 2009, 12:46:36 AM: I do 8 reps with 4 wheels on either side, is that respectable ??? :-[ My grip starts to fail before my back and legs.

I'm going to keep increasing the weight untill i can get 6 wheels either side for 8 reps then i'm gonna stick on it. I'm gonna do this with bench press aswell when i get to 3 wheels either side. No point going any higher because you will wind up getting injured.

That's a good lift.

The best i have done is 4 plates a side for 4 with straps.

Post by: #1 Klaus fan on March 19, 2009, 03:52:49 AM: 5 plates a side for atleast 1.

I would say the same - well, for me anyway seeing as I'm shit at deadlifts. I've never hit the magical five plates a side.

Title: Re: Whats a respectable Deadlift?
Post by: Method101 on March 19, 2009, 08:47:14 AM: I have always been good at deadlifts (relative to my other lifts), maybe it's because i'm 6ft.2, i think i heard that being taller is an advantage in this one lift. Once the weight is a few inches off the floor i have no problem getting it up, it's the initial drive i find hardest.

I'm shit at squats though.
:(

A fat fuck who weighs 400 pounds doing 405 for 8 is not strong relative to his bodyweight.

Post by: jpm101 on March 19, 2009, 11:28:44 AM: Usually the ratio for a respectable DL is 2X your bwt, just about the same for the squat. A 200lb guy than does 400. Exceptional DL would be 2 1/2 times your bwt.

Title: Re: Whats a respectable Deadlift?
Post by: Stark on March 19, 2009, 02:47:02 PM: 2 reps 4 wheels on each side is the best I ever did - 4 wheels are like the magic weight on deadlift - I had to take 3 month off due
to my wrist but I am back to 3 1/2 wheels on each side x 6 reps.

Try deadlifting while standing on a 6" box. It will help with your intitial drive.

You're welcome, Methhead101.
