Title: Deadlift
Post by: disturbia on January 21, 2010, 01:24:13 PM: I deadlifted 455 x 7 today.

Any thoughts on what that would convert to for a single?

Is there a conversion chart similar to a bench one?

obviously not Adonis like numbers ::) ::)

i think bodybuilding.com has a converter section with all the lifts etc. i think you probably could do low 600's

Post by: Hulkotron on January 21, 2010, 02:12:00 PM: When estimating 1RMs I always think a safe bet is to halve the number of reps for every +10 pounds. This probably underestimates your 1RM a little but whatever, at least you don't sound like one of those douches who thinks he can d/l 500 lbs because he does 225 for 6.

Let's assume you could sack up and get 455x8. So 465x4, 475x2, 485x1. I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of 500.

Post by: bigjoered on January 21, 2010, 03:12:29 PM: I have heard many 1rm calculations when it comes to bench and DL but personally I believe that is often garbage. I have been stuck on 500lbs for 4-5 for nearly a year or more. I find that muscle memory really kicks in when you get above 70% of my max. So at for me if 350+ I am deadlifting 5+ I will likely do at this at 485+. Try stepping down bellow in weight under 70% of 1m and get your reps up to 15-20 this will teach you muscles to see more reps progressively at higher weight. I have been working on this for a few months now. Maybe it could work for you.
