A guy was doing some fairly heavy deadlifts in the gym today (heavy for my gym is like 455). Anyway it got me thinking. I don't think a single person other than me noticed or gave him any props. Guy had kind of a bulky football player chunky look. A big guy but not any standout physique wise.
Would rather look good in a tank top or with my shirt off.

Pretty sure he is not in Ibiza getting the girls

Nope. Nobody gives a fuck, especially chicks. He's probably a fatass PL'er that might as well be invisible to premium ass. Abs, shoulders, arms, traps, pecs.

doing some fairly heavy deadlifts
makes one look like they're shitting their pants like an asshole. not much appeal there.
-
99% of the time nobody will care about your lifts but you. Not your wife, not your kids, not your friends. Even among strength schmoes, the appreciation is limited. It better be close to record breaking or it's not getting any real attention either.
-
I'm a naturally lean guy who has great leverage on the deadlift, my current max is 500 at a body weight of 180 lbs. I put my gym to shame. Sad!

Generally, I don't think this is right. Other guys in the gym who see someone benching 3 plates give some mental props. Same with squats and 4 plates. Guys do always compare themselves and are tremendously hierarchical, but deadlift seems to be an outlier.

455 is not a heavy lift.
-
Could care less. I see all kinds of skinny turds lifting 3 plus plates. It's technique. I keep my energy/focus for horizontal and vertical pulls and variations of grips.
-
nah wouldn't really care.
not involved with competetive strength sports so why would I. I think this goes for most people
-

But it's more than you can lift. :D

Just walk up to him and ask if you can suck him off in the locker room. Our approval isn't necessary.

It shocking how many record holders are Getbiggers.

as you get older, you care less
especially once you realize that size != strength, and notice the laziest guys in the gym often look the best

How much weight is this and this is not even near my max?

Are you claiming to be natural in this picture?

Are you claiming to be natural in this picture?
I don't need to claim. I am. Never have used a thing in my life and never will. I prefer a stringer, more defined look to my muscles than the stupid round bulbous look that roids make.
Plus, the health risks of roids are not worth it my opinion. I can understand someone who is 50 years or older wanting to get their levels in check, but nobody has a need to do that until they reach that age or older.
I also like the fact that since I have never done or had any interest in roids, I have no conception of what its like and therefore have no reliance on something like that. Every roider I have ever known, can never stop them once they start. I am not interested in that Pandora's box.
I have deadlifted 615 lifetime natural.

This lifetime natural owns me and everyone on here though:

Even "premium ass" know when a guy has weak leg development.

Nope. Started a thread on here a while back asking if I was the only one that thought it was a useless exercise. Of course lemmings defended it, but I don't think a big deadlift is representative of anything other than a big deadlift. The strength doesn't carry over to other exercises even though it is allegedly the granddaddy of all strength movements. It doesn't improve my squat, though an improved squat does improve my deadlift. It doesn't improve my barbell rows, though improved rows raise my deadlift. More than any other power exercise, it just seems like if you do it enough you will end up with a decent lift. More than any other exercise, it seems you can do decent numbers on dl without it showing up in your physique.
-
455 is not a heavy lift.
It was for a few reps not a single. This place ain't hardcore. The have no standing calf machine even.
-

No natural owns a shirt like that.

Deadlift is the test of a man and it's no coincidence that the numbers that getbiggers start disputing each other on are not particularly large
-

I like powerlifting so I do watch people who lift heavy.
I pulled 420 pounds deadlifting for the first time 3 weeks ago. My Brother is into powerlifting so we went along to a gym that had a platform, bumper plates the whole bit. I tried 440 pounds, but just didn't get it past my knees, I was going to try the 440 again sometime this week.

I think it helps build a strong core (core pertaining to the central muscles of the body; lower back, glutes and the abdominal region) is a very important health component, in that it supports the body in almost every movement and position.
-
Will always have a look when I see a lot of plates loaded on bar.
But I don't care whether people lift less/more than myself. Though I notice I'm in the head of quite a few at the gym I go too...
Doubt the girls care much for it though.

good lift
great thng about natural bb is you retain your youthful look
you look really young there 8)
-
A 455 lbs deadlift is a lot for the average gym rat. You don't see that everyday in most gyms. Those that put down the lift as useless is code for my deadlift is terrible. It's a fundamental lift of strength.
-
The other amusing takeaway from this is that I can deadlift more than you and am at a lower bodyweight. :D
Cool, then you can post a video showing yourself deadlifting more than me. :)
-
Why would my strength go down? ???
::)
Lets see...
- old age
- stopped training
- shitty diet
- votes for Obama. Twice.
- ran out of time
- would say "kids", but thankfully you've decided to end your gene pool voluntarily.

to answer this thread the best way possible I will say that the older and more mature you get the less you give a shit
honestly---I'm at a point where I'm kinda sorta more secure of myself that I don't need the validation of anything weightlifting/physique related
getting older is the ultimate solution to all of this
you just, honestly, don't really care anymore
when you were 5 you cared about how fast you could go on your tricycle
when you were 8 you probably could still ride a tricycle but did you really want to?
when your 12----"You want me to ride a tricycle?!...the fuck is wrong with you?!"
...i had a bit of a potty mouth when I was 12....i went to catholic school
-
Pulling heavy weight is very impressive and I respect guys who do it, but I never incorporated deadlifting in my workouts, mainly because I could never figure out where to put them in my workout schedule. My main goals (at 50 years old) are muscle size and keeping BF down as much as possible. Lifting very heavy weights is not conducive to fully functional joints. Keep on living and training hard... you'll see.
-
...i had a bit of a potty mouth when I was 12....i went to catholic school
I see a priest/port-a-potty joke in there somewhere.

No one give's a rat ass about what I do in the gym. What matters to me is MY workouts, so long as no one is acting like a full blown idiot around me, which has hardly ever happened.
You give a shit about what this guy's doing? What if deadlifts make him stronger and gave him the muscle he has?
With that aside, I shit canned regular deadlifts a year ago as I do not give a rat's ass about powerlifting and lift for more muscle, which does take getting stronger in the lifts one does, be it whatever damn lifts they are.
Stiff-legged deadlifts or trap bar deadlifts are far better muscle builders than regular deads for most people. Same goes for dumbbell benches, guillotine presses, and dips rather than bench presses for many people.
-

I'll take this quote a step further...
no one gives a shit about what any of us do......I think a lot of people know this but I will resound it nonetheless
we are all very "why is everyone looking at me?" during certain years of your life
nobody is looking at you....they are too taken with there own shit
now---If you fall or trip then yes people will see that and laugh at you because falling in public is hilarious
other than that though nobody should ever be self conscious about anything because people don't care about other people

Like I said in my previous post, I've heard that dl supposedly has so many benefits which is why I stuck it out til at least 5 plates. I just don't see much evidence of that. 90% of the time when I see a guy who benches regularly and has a big bench, he has a good chest. 90% of the time, a guy who chins regularly and can do 15+ reps has a good taper. Having a big deadlift does not indicate anything. It doesn't suggest you are strong in other exercises- even back or leg exercises. You can be a dedicated deadlifter and still have a totally shitty body. It might be an exaggeration to say there are no benefits, but for me, when I made deadlifting a regular part of my routine, it seemed like I would go backwards if I focused on deadlifts. I got so much wider and thicker and stronger and a more dramatic taper with barbell rows. If I skipped rows for two sessions my dl and row would both go down. If I skipped dls but did rows, my dl would at least be stable and rows would still increase.
-
Not to mention that deadlifting makes me feel like shit for days after.
-
I only care if it`s legit regardless of poundage.
Too many assholes have`nt a fucking clue how to pull.

The only thing on that list that is true is that I voted for Obama twice.
I deadlifted last night actually. My workout was 475-10 500-8 525-6
Just a basic workout for this strength program I am doing.
Bodyweight right now is 177.
And I have never went longer than a week without working out which I only do maybe once a year if that.
-
For me deadlift is pretty essential. When I stop doing it, my squat suffers a little bit and my abs become less tight and worked. I also get a great upper back pump after deadlifts.
I think it depends on your structure, how well your muscles engage while doing the lift and if you are actually good at it.
Its completely a waste of time to do lifts that you may not be good at. For me, one of those lifts is seated dumbbell shoulder press. That is a totally useless exercise for me as its more of a balancing act due to my extremely long forearms. I notice midget armed guys like it because its not hard for them to balance the weight and they don't have too far to travel and their triceps do a lot of the work. My forearm length prevents the triceps engaging until late in the lift making it difficult to do and thus pointless.
A better alternative for me is a standing press or push press of some sort.

I disagree. For me at least, my squat goes down the less I deadlift and goes up a lot more when I start deadlifting regularly.

455 is not a heavy lift.
Considering that the overwhelming majority of gym goers (yes, gym goers, not the average man on the street) the world over cannot even come close to pulling such a poundage off the floor, yes, 455 is a heavy lift.
Pull your head out of your ass.

i think the value of the deadlift is the ability for people to know how to pick something up without getting hurt
-
I dead 135 7 sets 10-15 reps helps my squats......nm. I do them between squat sets, also helps with lower back soreness
Any heavier feels awkward, I do it on a 8" platform so I hyperextend downwards
-
To you folks that deadlift heavy no one wants to hear you fucking screaming and slamming the weights
-

So who picks up anything over 100-200lbs anyway? So a 225 deadlift should do it for life health.

I lift at home so it doesn't matter, however, I pretend there is a glass panel under the weights and "touch glass" whenever I deadlift instead of shattering it.

The numbers you post INDEED makes you "super special".
You're a wicked strong guy.
-
I go to a commercial gym and there aren't many guys who deadlift there. The ones that do, tend to work with around 135lbs to 315lbs.
Depending on the individuals size, 400lbs and over usually equals a respectable deadlift IMO. It may not be much in powerlifting terms, but the vast majority of gym goers couldn't manage it.
-
The numbers you post INDEED makes you "super special".

But then you see someone like that Johnny Candito and you realize, "There is more work to be done!"
Kid is a natural though and has everything down perfect for that lift. Very impressive.

I train in a commercial gym near Paris, full of arab and hebrew. Most of them playing gangsta style.
Some of them are high level motormouth. They also pretend to be hardcore, like benching 225 for 2 reps.
Last time the gym was full of them. I deadlifted 350lbs for 15 reps like nothing, with dead stop at every rep. That's far away from my best but the gym stayed quiet for at least 10 minute after that.
-
"Gym" Thresholds seem to be
Deadlift-anything over 400 lbs.
Squat-anything over 315 ATG proper form
Bench-315 or over
I would say this is about right and if a lifetime natural can do those lifts, they are "elite" in some respects. I rarely even see roiders doing any of those "basic" poundages.
-

I have known people "touch cloth" when deadlifting, never glass.

Any 'average' man could work up to those numbers in a reasonable amount of time without steroids. Not 'elite' at all.

315 Bench Press as a lifetime natural is very rare.
-
A full ROM bench press @ 315 is actually rare for the natural lifter, especially ones that aren't obese.
-
After more than 20 years of hard deadlifting it still excites me. No one else cares but I feel great if I manage to add 5 more pounds to my max after all this time. Tells me I'm not regressing physically at least. Unfortunately gains can take a year or two to manifest at this point :D

315 Bench Press as a lifetime natural is very rare.
Any healthy, structurally sound man could work up to a 315 bench if he so desired.
-
I'm sure no one cares, but the title was supposed to be do you care at all about a big DEADLIFTER in your gym, not a deadlifted. I saw it almost immediately and was going to change it, but the current title has much more meathead factor to it so I'm keeping it that way.
Also, as far as not "knowing how to pull," what's to know, pick the damn bar up and set it back down.

Exactly. Its incredibly rare for a non-obese lifetime natural to bench 315 correctly.

if you do the deadlift last it's not going to go anywhere because you're already exhausted. Sorry you don't have the heart of a champion. best of luck with your training.
-

The main "problem" guys have is hitching when it gets heavy and it irritates me when I see it. I did it when I first started out but now I can't lift more weight by hitching.
Lots of strongmen hitch as there is no rule against it there but it doesn't help my poundages anymore.
-
I occasionally watch people lifting really heavy just to chuckle if they blow a disc.

Apparently TA is a great deadlifter but too dumb to figure out how to record himself and would rather post videos of other peoples lift.

Don't think so. You'd see a lot more of it if so.

Depends on the gym. I lifted at Golds, Somerville, Ma for a few years, which was loaded with meathead lifting types, and would occasionally have some pros stop in to train (DeMayo), etc..... Even there I didn't see what appeared to be too many natty 315lb bench presses.
Either way, most who start lifting and stick with it want to get stronger, especially in the early years. So I don't think it's not wanting to, I think it's because they can't.
-

No I just don't give a fuck if you believe me or not. I am fine with me being the only one knowing that I deadlift more than you.

Can take the CNS up to 14 days to recover from a heavy deadlift session.

Not in the slightest.
Sometimes my friends start talking about numbers and lifts and I just zone out. I only care about the look.

I stopped caring about deadlifts after my two herniated cervical discs. I can only tell youngsters to avoid them or at least use very moderate weights, just to get a pump.
But i do give props to the few heavy lifters.

To a point. Every freak record-breaking pull is performed with a style far from what's deemed "correct".
At a certain poundage, pristine technique will deteriorate into a physical exertion of absolute will and physical toughness. The latter will determine whether the former yields injury or arms raised in triumph.

Fortress, what do you think of Janae/Matt Kroc claiming in an interview on T-mag today that he qualified for the Arnold natural, with a bench in the 500's, if I recall correctly, and a bodyweight of 260-something at 5'9" (and not fat at that)?

You are thinking like a bodybuilder. Powerlifters are after finding their true 1rm. Don't get me wrong, form is very important, but it will always degrade during a 1rm, that why the better your form at lower weights, the less form you lose when performing a 1rm.

What about "hitching"? What the hell is that?

Pulled 440 pounds this morning. No wraps, no belt, no chalk. Nothing flash but good for an old man.

How many times?

No. And I don't care about grammar in thread titles.
So it's all cool.

I stopped caring about deadlifts after my two herniated cervical discs. I can only tell youngsters to avoid them or at least use very moderate weights, just to get a pump.
But i do give props to the few heavy lifters.
You didn't hurt your back deadlifting, did you?
-
New guys are in awe when you lift big but guys there years are used to it, we have 95% guys who don't deadlift over maybe 160kg and a few strong strong fuckers

How many times?
Bastard! Just the once. I did film it, won't post it here, but I had to do it twice because the guy filming didn't actually hit record the first time I pulled it. This is only my second time trying a 1rm. First time I pulled a 190kg. I have never trained for strength before so I am happy enough with that.

I see a few guys going above 315 DL. I have a lot of work to do on form but that's not a lot of weight.

Sounds like most here are made out of a bunch of spare parts.
That's one of the problems with being caucasians.
Blacks don't crack.

Big deadlifts generally don't get the same recognition as squats and benches mainly because most can't relate to them like they can with the other two given their 225 benches and 315 half squats.

Fortress, what do you think of Janae/Matt Kroc claiming in an interview on T-mag today that he qualified for the Arnold natural, with a bench in the 500's, if I recall correctly, and a bodyweight of 260-something at 5'9" (and not fat at that)?
Total and unhinged horseshit.

squats = under the bar
bench = UNDEr the bar
Deads = just pulling shit off the floor
when youre under the bar it takes alot more, plus you have to keep it in your routine to be able to squat or bench alot and it shows usually, you have a big chest or shapely legs - but a heavy dead? i see rednecks in Hickory pull 4 plates and just slam it back on the ground as hard as they can -- with bench or squat you cant just totally disreguard the eccentric movement or you pay
why deads are halfass and not admired but most - bench/squats = white collar
deads= blue collar/';redneck lift (but i do them alot now and like them)
-
Post it, pussy.
No Thanks, Happy to be flamed on and called a pussy. I save it for my social media pages, mainly my brother who I have a bit of a rivalry with, he is six years older than me but still lifting.

lol highly insightful post
have to agree deads are definitely a "blue collar" lift which is why the elitist Al Doggity has abandoned them.

I feel better when regularly deadlifting. It doesn't have to be heavy weight but there's a noticeable difference in my mood, horniness, and ability to tolerate bullshit.
