Do you care at all about a big deadlifted in your gym?
« on: March 05, 2016, 03:04:08 PM »
A guy was doing some fairly heavy deadlifts in the gym today (heavy for my gym is like 455).  Anyway it got me thinking.  I don't think a single person other than me noticed or gave him any props.  Guy had kind of a bulky football player chunky look.  A big guy but not any standout physique wise. 

Would rather look good in a tank top or with my shirt off.

Nope. Nobody gives a fuck, especially chicks. He's probably a fatass PL'er that might as well be invisible to premium ass. Abs, shoulders, arms, traps, pecs.

99% of the time nobody will care about your lifts but you. Not your wife, not your kids, not your friends. Even among strength schmoes, the appreciation is limited. It better be close to record breaking or it's not getting any real attention either.

I'm a naturally lean guy who has great leverage on the deadlift, my current max is 500 at a body weight of 180 lbs. I put my gym to shame. Sad!

Generally, I don't think this is right.  Other guys in the gym who see someone benching 3 plates give some mental props.  Same with squats and 4 plates.  Guys do always compare themselves and are tremendously hierarchical, but deadlift seems to be an outlier.

455 is not a heavy lift.

Could care less. I see all kinds of skinny turds lifting 3 plus plates. It's technique. I keep my energy/focus for horizontal and vertical pulls and variations of grips.

Just walk up to him and ask if you can suck him off in the locker room. Our approval isn't necessary.

as you get older, you care less

especially once you realize that size != strength, and notice the laziest guys in the gym often look the best

How much weight is this and this is not even near my max?

The other amusing takeaway from this is that I can deadlift more than you and am at a lower bodyweight.   :D

I pulled 375 on Friday in a full gym and all the guys got their feelings hurt and pretended they weren't staring.

I like powerlifting so I do watch people who lift heavy.

I don't need to claim.  I am.  Never have used a thing in my life and never will.  I prefer a stringer, more defined look to my muscles than the stupid round bulbous look that roids make.

Plus, the health risks of roids are not worth it my opinion.  I can understand someone who is 50 years or older wanting to get their levels in check, but nobody has a need to do that until they reach that age or older.

I also like the fact that since I have never done or had any interest in roids, I have no conception of what its like and therefore have no reliance on something like that.  Every roider I have ever known, can never stop them once they start.  I am not interested in that Pandora's box.


I have deadlifted 615 lifetime natural.

Even "premium ass" know when a guy has weak leg development.
