I have deadlifted maybe a dozen times since the mid 80's. I ruptured my L4 and L5 in 83' or 84' So I don't do it much. Well a few years back I had to showoff. Soe kids were deadlifting and they had 500 on the bar. They were done and I was just sitting there benching when one of them said "Keith you can do this easy uh"? I said I don't know but I have done 735 but it was a while ago. They almost dared me so I had to do it. S with no warmup, belt wraps straps or anything I went over to the bar. Well I eneded up doing it. They couldn't believe it. Well I said see and I walk away very quickly. I went into the managers of the gym office and collapse on the floor. I hurt my back so bad. I literally had to lie there for awhile till I could get up and walk all crooked to my car. That taught me never to show off again. I was layed up for over a week in bed

I as well have fucked up my lower back from younger years of deadlifting. Dumb.
-
ive done the same thing twice over ... fuckt up my bad so bad i couldnt walk for a couple of days ... the ironic part is i would always fuck up my back when i tried to use textbook form .... when i let my back round it was never a problem
-
Hey congratulations dude! A lot of people out there can't do it.
I'm working on my 6'!
-
excellent mate good luck onm that. i hope to hit 6 at xmas or shortly after, more than likely by feb
-
I'm also working on 6 plates. I pulled 500 for 2 sets of 3 about 3 weeks ago.
Then I pulled something in my lower back (way down by the tail bone) while squatting.
Now, I kind of platued out. I need to switch up routines and make small goals.

I can pull 500 for 3 reps but have been stuck at a 540 single for 6 months now.
-
one thing that realy helped me move from 4 plates to close to 5 was alternating between sumo and regular deads ... anyone else try that?
-
go lighter and do more reps, it's still a killer workout.

this is how i break through plateaus if i ever hit one on deads. i'll drop down to around 405-455 and do sets of 8. every time i do this for a few weeks i'll be stronger the next time i go over 550. my personal best is exactly 6 plates for 1 after a few warmup sets. i'm shooting for a 600 RAW dead by the end of this year.
Goudy - Congrats bro, it took me years to hit 495. Keep up the good work.

No Belt?!? 600 would be awesome w/o a belt.
I've never went heavy without a belt, just trained below 405.
Where are you now no belt for 1?

i know this aint directed at me mate but i never use a belt for any weight of any exercise. i used to tho dont anymore at all. dont see the point.

Have fun with your future spinal problems.
-
im strengthening my back kid. also a belt adds added pressure to your lower back when training so i think thats the problem. each to their own. good form=no problems

You are like 19 or something, don't you call me a kid, you snot-nosed punk. Learn to treat your elders with respect.

calm down there tiger. channel that agression in the gym son.

Damn 500 is preety damn good, i'm at 450 right now.....ill be at 500 soon enough, i need to work on my grip strength first.
-
yeh its my grip that fails way before my back strength.
I hate it wen u feel like mr charlie big potatoes and good to heavy and hurt ur back. I had ligament probs with lower right bak, sometimes a day or so after heavy deads i get bad back spasms.

Sorry, yes i use a belt. by RAW i mean no suit or straps. i only use my belt for max attemps. i've never had any back problems caused by deadlifting.

a deadlift with good form does not hurt your back.but be sure to include lots of good mornings in your program.
