What is a deadlift weight to be proud of?

[Neptune100]

I assume at 500 you're counting the collars as the weight?  5 plates aside is 450 plus the 45 pound bar.  Did you add 2 1/2 plates as well?

Negative on the collars. The golden rule on 2 1/2 pound plates is they can only be used at 495 to get 500, so yes I used the rule there.

On getbig, we measure the estimated weight of drugged hookers.

How many drugged hookers can you simultaneously pick up?   2x is decent, 3x is awesome.

In my football gym we had collars that were probably 5-10 pounds each.  Just big metal honkers.

5 plates each side + bar is 495.

wasn't proud but wasn't ashamed either two guys at the college when i did them could do more but they were both juiced on d-bol.... they did 600 lbs at around the same bdwt w zits...

500 with good form is very good. Very few people can do that no matter the body weight. 600 is exceptional. At 198 my best was 615 for a single with nothing but a belt on. When I stopped powerlifting, doing sets of 10 with 405 always was my favorite thing to do... Best workouts ever.

after more than 6 @ 405 my eyes look like i'm about to cry blood

My best was 545 beltless about 3 months ago

Enough to keep looking good and able to them at 60

[Overload]

Anything over 500 pounds is respectable.

Once you hit the big 7 you are God status.

[Walter Sobchak]

I've done 585 for 2. Chalk and wrist wraps though

That's two reps of Shizzo's bodyweight

725lbs will put you top 25 raw in the USPA.....the top is an 821.  Thats my goal.

[funk51]

  kid from my town does 855 lbs that's pretty good...

If you look like shit does it matter how much you deadlift?

[flinstones1]

When I was in the 10th grade I benched a massive 250 , but I  deadlifted 450 pretty easily. I was gifted at the lift...when I stopped playing sports I quit deadlifting even though I was built for the lift with long arms long legs and a short torso, I wasnt built for benching at all but low and behold  made my way to a 400 lb raw bench. Had I put that energy into my deadlift a lift I was actually good at? Jesus christ

he wins strongman contests and doesn't use belts or wraps and such, he's not a pretty boy...

[Tennisballz]

exactly.  I think if you can deadlift 350-400 thats pretty good for a drug free guy who lifts weights and watches his diet.

Deadlift no, but bench I would say definitely. People care....there isnt one guy on the O stage who cant bench close to 500.

[oldtimer1]

I think for under 185 natural around 415lbs is good without straps. 500lbs for a juicer.  Over 200lbs 500lbs natural and 600lbs juicer. Of course these are wild generalizations. I worked with a guy who was 5'6" and used a wide sumo stance. I think the plates only came off the floor a foot. Yes, he could deadlift a Buick.

[Howard]

Three times your bodyweight, unless your a fucking land whale like Shizzo

LOL land whale...what's that look like?

[TheShape.]

Natural lean 185lbs with a 500 deadlift. Still can't bench 315 though.
