How many times can you deadlift 405?

[Deadpool]

McNeil pulled 375 lbs.  405 isn't that far away

[The Squadfather]

r u a bber or plifter? or haven't decided?

translation=after months of doing giant sets with Milos with 20 pound db's you're weaker than an underfed kitten.

and who is the lucky one billy

Yeah and if I give you her photo how many trolls will begin photoshopping it....hmmm get a life stop trying to live in mine

[jaejonna]

yeah i need his bullshit approval! It's not the same...and I need slaveboy too my man always gives great input! 

I did this for kicks on my ME lowerbody day to see how id' far in an upcomng strongman show I signed up for in february. They're pulling by wessel's rules so here's how the workout went.


ME lowerbody...

I would consider this max effort

deadlifts with wessel's rules (1 min time limit)

500x10x1 in a minute...could've gotten 12 or better if i kept going. I wanted to hit my goal of 500 for 10 and smoked it!!
405x14x1 in a minute..kept rep'n to 20
315x19x1 in a minute..kept rep'n to 30

had to walk around for about 5 minutes because my ass would cramp when i would sit. I'm surprised i didn't puke..because i was damn close.

some ham shit until i started crampin...

seated dumbbell hammers

60x8x1
70x10x1
95x4x1

hahah calm down tiger

hahahahaa, the bullshit keeps getting deeper and deeper with "wickedtruth".

haha i'll post some more bullshit sunday evening when I do my first strongman workout finally. I'm giving my girl her camera for christmas early so she can not only use it..but hopefully take some clips of me down at metroflex!  See if loading a 300lb stone is much harder than pulling a 300lb dead off a box!

How do you not own a digital camera?  That to me is the sad part here.

[chris_mason]

Discuss.

For me, a double or triple depending on how I feel.  How can I improve on that?    Discuss.

More than you.  More than most of the pros on this board.   

Don't ask about my bench... Bum shoulder...

had a nice nikon...got it through work at cost and sold it on ebay to help pay this past semester's tuition in college.

[Triple-H_2005]

You're just supposed to say 112 times!!!

D'oh!

Is it too late to change my answer?

[tonymctones]

   " man I feel where your coming from I've worked out alone without a spotter for most of my life. I definitly think your overtraining, right now I hit chest 2 times a week...before this semester of school started up I only hit it once a week, but hit it really hard. I assume your asking about maxing out on the 315, Im not sure of what my max is now as I havent maxed out in over a year but its probably around 375 and maybe a little little extra. I've been natural my entire life and right now cant see why I'd change "


  " avent done flat bench in a while but I would guess from my other bench weights  about 6 or 7 reps with 315 at 200 lbs give or take a few pounds"


so clown : care to back up these claims ?...

Lol sev ill make you a deal big boy ill do that ill even weigh the weights and post it but when i do you leave getbig forever and never come back hows that sound pookie?

[MisterMagoo]

I can do 5 at 405.  I try to go up though but it's really hard - I can't get even one with 455, and with 425 I only get 2.  I think I'm going to start working with 425 to try to bring my reps up.

then stop bouncing it on the floor between reps. any time someone can get a lot of reps with a weight but can barely go above, it means they're bouncing the weight and have no strength for that first inch.

[Triple-H_2005]

If the bottom of the ROM is the issue, train with 35 lb plates instead of 45's.  HUGE difference nd yur explosive power from the bottom will definitely go up.

[local hero]

i can go months without deadlfiting and still manage to do 4 plates easy..stop benching for a few weeks and im fucked?

[bigbobs]

I can see that being a valid point if you're doing deadlifts on a rubber mat or a bouncy floor, but my gym has a thin layer of carpet over a hard floor so you can't really bounce it...the only thing you can do to make it a bit easier is not rest the weight fully on the floor before the next rep and instead just "touch" the weight on the floor at the bottom, which I think everyone does anyway.  I think the reason I can't go much higher is because I've rarely tried more than 405, but I'm going to stick to 425 from now on, then 455, etc.

pull off a box for a month or better adn watch that shit fly off the ground!

[canesfan]

personal best is 455 for 18 followed by 455 for 12. Every part of my back was sore for a week, that was the only exercise for the session.
one rep max is 655 but, that was a while a go.

[nhwood]

20.....no i'm not kidding.

I pull 675...

I hit 500 for 10, 405 for 20, and 315 for 30 reps last sunday...


and i'm still hurting.

fyi..overload gives the best deadlift advice. 

When is the next time you are doing deads and I'll come by to check it out.  I am stuck at 525 for 1.
