Title: What is a deadlift weight to be proud of?
Post by: Neptune100 on April 20, 2015, 09:13:27 PM
I just hit 500.  I have a feeling that is considered weak here.  Seriously though, I'm thinking  600 is a strong DL and puts someone in the top 1% of gym members, let alone the general population.

I remember when Pat Banana used to post on here claiming natty status while benching 500, deadlifting 600, etc. When people called him out he said something like "it's not a big deal, everyone in my gym can lift those numbers".  ::)

This is respectable

I 2nd the "three times bodyweight" answer.

Ive hit 565 at 198lbs at a meet in Tuscola IL in 2002, junior division (under 23'yrs old) and raw (no gear at all)
Thats my best lift ever of all lifts.

Wont touch that again in my fucking life.

2.5 x Bodyweight for a good lifter at a moderate weight. I think that is a good number for a lifter who put his time in. Of course that could change with leverages/body types. For instance, a big round guy with a tremendous squat could be forgiven for being a bit under that, and I would'nt be surprised to find a long, lanky lifter having a bigger pull than that.

Post by: SuperTed on April 21, 2015, 02:14:26 AM
Depends on a few variables such as the bodyweight of the lifter, whether or not the lifter is juiced, the amount of juice the lifter is using...etc

For instance, a 500lb deadlift could be very strong or very weak depending on the circumstances involved.

500 with good form is very good. Very few people can do that no matter the body weight. 600 is exceptional. At 198 my best was 615 for a single with nothing but a belt on. When I stopped powerlifting, doing sets of 10 with 405 always was my favorite thing to do... Best workouts ever.

615@198 is incredible  :o

It also depends a lot on the structure of the body: most amazing thing I saw in my entire life in a gym was Brunazzi deadlifting, unbelievable, people were all scratching their heads. He was a World Record holder in his class, still not beaten today I think

5 plates and up is decent.

I assume at 500 you're counting the collars as the weight?  5 plates aside is 450 plus the 45 pound bar.  Did you add 2 1/2 plates as well?

Its all relative...the deadlift is my best event. When I hit 600..I wanted 650...then I hit that and I wanted more. I'll hit 700 in June at a meet. My goal is 725 this next year. If you hit 500 your going to want more.

2x  your bodyweight is a very good dead lift and squat. 1.25x your bodyweight is a very good bench.

not much people even knows what a good deadlift is because they never deadlift. if you deadlift 600 or 750 people dont know the difference

but if you bench 315+ or better 405 you get alot of jealousy at the gym because most cant even bench 225+ :)

Negative on the collars. The golden rule on 2 1/2 pound plates is they can only be used at 495 to get 500, so yes I used the rule there.

In my football gym we had collars that were probably 5-10 pounds each.  Just big metal honkers.

When I was in the 10th grade I benched a massive 250 ;D, but I  deadlifted 450 pretty easily. I was gifted at the lift...when I stopped playing sports I quit deadlifting even though I was built for the lift with long arms long legs and a short torso, I wasnt built for benching at all but low and behold  made my way to a 400 lb raw bench. Had I put that energy into my deadlift a lift I was actually good at? Jesus christ

I think for under 185 natural around 415lbs is good without straps. 500lbs for a juicer.  Over 200lbs 500lbs natural and 600lbs juicer. Of course these are wild generalizations. I worked with a guy who was 5'6" and used a wide sumo stance. I think the plates only came off the floor a foot. Yes, he could deadlift a Buick.

I can run a 40 in under 5 seconds at over 220 bodyweight 365 days a year...30 inch vertical jump...keep in mind this is with no speed training in  years though. I can easily hit a baseball 400 feet pretty effortlessly and probably still probably throw in the 80's these days despite all the benching and shoulder injuries.   Would you like to put your account on it? Cause thats the only way Im giving one of the  local  high school kids  40 bucks to throw batting practice and video tape me lol.

I hit 525 for a double at about 205 last summer. Gonna start grinding away again and aim for 600 this year if that's not too unreasonable. I am build for deads however so its not a big deal. I get a better workout from doing 4 plates for maybe 8 or 10.

How tall are you?  I've seen short fat guys lift 5 plates and was not impressed because their ROM is about 1 foot.  But being over 6 feet and lifting with guys 6-6 10" when I see a 5 plate deadlift I'm impressed because the ROM is 3+ feet.

OK runts here's the deal. Since the early 1980's the Gold Standard in competitive powerlifting is quite simple:

Squat, 3x body weight
Bench Press, 2x body weight
Deadlift, 3x body weight

Hit those numbers and you are a solid respectable lifter.

Those are competition numbers or at least strict gym lifts, with NO BENCH SHIRT and NO MULTI-PLY squat suit. There's still no equipment that helps you deadlift more, although some DL bars are slightly helpful.


This thread is now closed and I will personally visit and crush the village of any members that continue to post.  >:(

good post, but that doesn't really answer my question.  I didn't ask what the gold standard  in competitive power lifting is.  Im not a competitive power lifter. I asked what is a DL weight to be proud of for a guy not as serious as a competitive power lifter, but who works out on a regular basis.  If 3X is the gold standard, than I guess 2.5 is great for someone who just goes to the gym regularly and is trying to get stronger.

More so to do with arm length than height though.  A guy with a structure  like john cena may be 6'2 but still has the   alligator arms of a 5'9 lifter.

OK runts here's the deal. Since the early 1980's the Gold Standard in competitive powerlifting is quite simple:

Squat, 3x body weight
Bench Press, 2x body weight
Deadlift, 3x body weight

Hit those numbers and you are a solid respectable lifter.

Those are competition numbers or at least strict gym lifts, with NO BENCH SHIRT and NO MULTI-PLY squat suit. There's still no equipment that helps you deadlift more, although some DL bars are slightly helpful.

Going to take umbrage with this simply because it gets dicey when dealing with larger lifters. I can reel off scores of #275's, #308's, and SHW/Unlimiteds that can't hit those numbers in combination, but are still considered lifting deities.

Even the old USPF standards for Master and Elite are under that - http://uspf.com/lifter%20classification.pdf .

here's 445 @132 lbs raw...natural...44 years old....and yeah short...like can't rides at Disney short...but strong...

always wondered if that's as impressive as 600lbw at 200 lbs because I'm so light...

I can easily hit a baseball 400 feet pretty effortlessly and probably still probably throw in the 80's these days despite all the benching and shoulder injuries.   Would you like to put your account on it? Cause thats the only way Im giving one of the  local  high school kids  40 bucks to throw batting practice and video tape me lol.
chose your next words wisely, because  we all remember what happened with the military press video lol

Dude my roommate in college had a brother that played A ball for the Yankees with an 80 mph fastball, he was a late round Draft pick that washed out,  if you really have these talents stop wasting your time with the bodybuilding and at least try out for a minor league team.

All due respect Tom but you do realize that most getbiggers don't feel the need to compete in silly contests but rest assured we are EXPONENTIALLY stronger then your "gold standard" and you.  As a matter of fact we can certainly Google your competition lifts and determine that we are much stronger then you at your best.

If you weigh 178 @ 9% bodyfat, pulling 505 twice isn't a bad feat. If you do it in the gym, you will have people's attention.



Ronnie was in Contest shape, probably just a hair under 290 and I believe he pulled over 8 bills for reps... not sure, but what I do know is that he's regretted that to this day.

He fucked himself up. Said if the tape hadn't a been a rollin' he never woulda done it.. and he never did it before.


Now he's had surgery on.... everything? And from what I hear, he's not enjoying his supplement travel bus too much these days. Those roads (even with air ride) will beat the living hell outta you.

No.

A trap bar adds a considerable amount to your deadlift figures since you incorporate your legs a lot more. It's actually more of a squat movement than a deadlift. Good for your ego perhaps, but nowhere the same in terms of effort/impressiveness.

Yes, first time I used a trapbar was the day after I competed in a powerlifting meet and still easy repped 220kg for 3x5 (Funny thing is I only pulled 217.5kg during the meet, haha).
Trapbar is all legdrive, and quite frankly serves no other purpose than egostroking in my opinion atleast.


If you think any different, then by all means try and see if you can lift the same weight on straightbar and trapbar. Reality check should follow quickly.

No disrespect bro, but come on. Ronnie is blaming his health issues on a set of deadlifts he did in 2000 for BFTO video shoot? Yet he went on to win 5 more Olympias and competed in two more after that. I'm assuming you haven't watched his latest back training video, post hip surgery Wiggs posted it, based on that video alone the 800# deadlift wasn't his biggest mistake, nor was it the thing that brought him down.

Everyone would always slam Coleman for training so heavy, saying it would lead to injury,  yet he still trained his heart out.

Guess what even after all his problems and surgeries he still trains heavy, you know why? Mentality. His mindset is that of a competitive individual, probably based on his athletic background,  and like many of us, he still pushes the envelope of his limits.


After all the drugs, lifts and whatever else he blames those deadlifts,  classic snake oil salesmanship.

Ofcourse you use legdrive, but not even close to the same extend as with a trapbar. You can't tell me that you don't notice the difference in ease of moving the weight. They're entirely different movement patterns for fuck sake.

YES yes I know it's entirely differend and it's mostly leg drive, I know that! But lifting 500+ pounds off the ground with no straps is a good feat of strength. I don't denie that it's harder to deadlift with a regular olympic bar, I was just surprised how someone wouldn't consider lifting that shit up with no straps, no belt... and it was pretty smooth lift too.

Relax brah, it's your cousin's lift. Had I known that I'd say not impressed.

I've beat dudes in competitions who came up to me and told me why their lift was better than mine and why they are stronger.
Sports fans argue why the team/individual that lost is better than the winner.

Bottom line you know when you see something impressive.
