Are my deadlifts weak?
« on: August 24, 2009, 07:27:03 PM »
Back in the day i was sumo-deadlifting 495 at a weight of 190+.  I love doing sumos but i can't find a bar with the grip in the area where i need it.  So i have had to revert to olympic style deadlifts.  Yesterday i did 410lbsx5, but failed becuase of grip.  Right now i'm about 186 but i feel...pussy-like in struggling with this weight. 

What do you posers think?

good lifts
Thanks man.  Most of these gyms you never see anyone training heavy, including guys who look huge.  At my gym there's a couple of dudes that are pretty big, but only one of them trains heavy.

You can lose track of your strength level if you never see anyone else training hard.

Beats mine. 

Get some straps.  You want to think about the lift, not whether or not you're going to lose the bar.

I've got a twink grip, too.

You're not a pussy for using straps. You're only a pussy if you wear gloves to keep your hands soft.

Your lifts are good. Most of my girls can't pull 400+ yet.

410 x 5 ??

That's nothing, look out for The True Adonis, he does 225 x 112.

He has a video of it for proof, took him less than 5 minutes.  :o :o
