Yes! Burn2live is one of those freaks that is just fucking strong at deadlifting.  One of the guys I train with is like that. I've seen him pull 600+ relatively easy. The only bad thing is he's managed to fuck both knees up pretty badly through the years and he can't squat for shit. I think the most I've ever seen him squat is 405 x 1. |

I'm hoping to deadlift over 660lb drug-free at about 235-240lb bw, 1 year and 7 months training this November. Fingers crossed
got any vids ? |

if you hit a 660 pound pull weighing under 240 less than two years into your training and no drug help, that legitimately places you within the top 0.001% of lifters. ride that train to the end of the rails, my main, do a drug tested meet and set yourself in Da Books.
Thanks man, ideally I deadlift 700lbs come November, but 660 is my first target  |

Yes! Burn2live is one of those freaks that is just fucking strong at deadlifting. lol. Thanks man. My bench fucking SUCKS though. Along with the deadlift I would like a 500lb squat, which I think is achievable at the worlds and I would be overjoyed if I managed a 350lb bench this year, but I'll admit that's unlikely. ps, you're a fucking beast yourself  |

Also, except for a few, you wont find an outstanding deadlifter who also has an outstanding bench press. Keep plugging away, and maximize it though! Jason |

Kazmaier was one of those rare freaks with a big bench and a big pull, 661/886. |

Agreed. I seem to remember George Brink is one of those incredible deadlifters whose bench doesn't quite match it...doesn't he bench in the mid 400s yet DLs twice that much? |

so true, ive got a couple buddies that were national level competitors and they were brothers one could dead 835 at 19 yrs old and the other a +750 bencher, i always thought it was weird that they were so good in their respective lifts but no so great when trying to switch events. |

Thanks man. Yeh, I'm working my ass off on my bench. I don't ever intend to give up on it. My arms aren't exceptionally long, though they're not short either! Unlike a lot of guys, I'm not the type you'd look at and immediately think, fuck he has long arms. lol On the freaks with a big pull and press, Lamar Grant also had a pretty decent bench despite his freak-like deadlift?  |

ive never trained with kyle or dave but they both are more than helpful when i have a question or need anything. When i tore my bicep i went to kyle and he gave me some real good advice since he pretty much did the exact same thing to his arm a few years earlier. The 2 of them are the nicest most helpful people one could ever run across |
