How much do the toughest of getbiggers deadlift!!!!!!!!!!!

[kiwiol]

Best was 540 for 4 - 5 at a body weight of 215 - 220, although I've done 585 off the rack for 3.

[MisterMagoo]

515 for a single, 495x3 touch and go. weighed just under 220 for each.

i need to stop pulling heavy though, monday getting a paused triple with 455 was hard as hell.

hahah, i felt like a little bitch! pissed me off big time. afterwards i just did some light squats and other stuff to get a "pump" or whatever. it's a good thing my bench workout today went well or i'd have been ultra cheesed. 

[Reign Down]

hey if i was worrying about "only" pulling 455 i'd be a lot happier!

don't be too hard on yourself!

[MisterMagoo]

my problem is i hang out on the PL and training boards with guys like overload, wickedtruth, and lift4size where 455 is a speed set or a warmup, then i lift with a guy that hit 620 last week after a sheiko cycle. i need weaker friends.

People on this forum make 315bench seem like average, when under 1% of the worlds population can do it.

315 is average. A girl I know pulled 225 with no belt the first time she deadlifted. She was 5'9" and 160lbs. Anyone can pull 315 with a few months of training.

I think that deads are great BUT I also think that good mornings are far better for posterior chain strength.I think if you do good mornings with a suspended bar in a power rack,its much safer,you use more back muscle and you develope more strength to be able to pull bigger weights.I never did regular deads from the floor and ALWAYS pulled over 700 at meets.Id rely on good mornings,reverse hypers and pulls off blocks with bands for speed and open at 700+ every meet.

I meant bench press.

I deadlifted 315 the first time i ever went into a gym and was screwing around.

Buddy of mine says you aren't a man unless you can pull at least 200kg (440lbs). "You should be able to pull that just by doing some yard work"   

I've done 700+ @ about 220lbs.

good stuff man, you should post a picture of yourself at least, block the face out if you like.

Wow! You are my hero!

lol, you're right about that.

true story, a few weeks ago i was benching and when i got to 315 a guy asked me if i needed a spot. totally casually, and not thinking, i said "nah dude, it's only three plates". he looked at me like i was a jackass, and it didn't occur to me until after he left how unbelievably cocky it sounds to shrug off 315 on the bench like "why would i need a spot for that?"  

yo bilderass, that sounds a lot like dave tate's theory that if your legs are strong enough to jump up onto a curb you should be able to squat 300 pounds. i'm a little skeptical myself. 

[˛oklis]

At my strongest i was repping 500lbs easily pon last set. Numerous witnesses

Then 2 weeks before a PLing comp got sick. Trained heavy as i was afraid to back cycle, hurt back overtrained, had a shit comp. Only now am i getting strong and feeling good again.

However that happening has created like a mental block on my deads now.

Youre a fucking BEAST Billy. Ho is the bodybuilding going for you? I try to follow it on outlaws.

All I have is a couple of face shots. The body sucks too much.  Not that the face is handsome. 
You don't have to look like much to be a strong puller. Look at Ano Turtiainen for example. Or Gary Heisey here:

It was mostly said in a joking manner. But many are afraid of the lift. If guys just invested time into it many would be pulling good weights

I've been doing lots of good-mornings this past year. Less draining than deads; I can load heavy 2-3 times per week.
