8 reps on a 5 plates per side deadlifts
« on: June 19, 2012, 07:56:14 PM »
Fortress claims he can do more then 8 reps on a 5 plates per side deadlifts and says I know shit about deadlifts then he says he finished me, ya with a bunch of words and claims any gimmick can make so I will finish him where it counts,... I know, I know,

INTERNET IS SERIOUS BIZNESS,   ;D........ but cmon guys it's been boring around here lately so I thought it might be some entertainment for my fellow getbiggers, so here is the deal 6 weeks to prep, post video proving who you are and the lift, 5 plate per side for as many reps as you can, loser never post's on getbig again.  8)


JUST FUCKING WITH YOU WES, LOL   ;D

fortress and I are cool so had to change the title, lol.   ;D

You might want to look into who Fortress is before throwing down the challenge like that. ;)

I know he was competitive in powerlifting and I know he is a big dude, someone said nearly 300lb, but this is all fun and games, besides I am pretty confident, I know I have done 14 reps with 5 plates so fuck it, I will take the risk  ;)

Thread hasn't backfired, besides there is no way that it can cause if he beats me, he is a fucken monster, and no shame losing to someone who can pull it 15 times, cause that's what it will take to beat me. 8)

Hahaha "hat with propeller"!  ;D

Seriously though, five plate deadlift is serious business - it's been my strength goal my entire training life to pull 495 off the floor and despite repeated attempts I've never done it. Deadlifts have always been abysmal for me - I've squatted over five plates before but never deadlifted it.

Best advice for deads I got...look up the youtube video for mark ripetoe (sp?) and deadlifting.

Recently? That's pretty gnarly, even for a juiced up midget. :D

New kid I'm training with walked between the benches while a guy was benching....I ripped him a new ass, I'm sure he won't do it again. I hate when people do that shit. >:(

One time I was squatting 370 and some chick walks about a foot in front of me and says"Good morning Tim,how you doing"?

I got so pissed off I set a new PR for reps.

Fucking idiots have never lifted anything heavier than the pink dumbells.

You know, not only do I have a total lack of caring for what you believe or do not believe, but I also know that, if I DID post a video, you'd challenge a) it's not me, b) the plates are fake, c) I am not, infact, drug-free (and want a verified drug-test profile mailed to you), etc.

So even if I did give two shits about what you believe, what would be the point? As is, I'd have to sacrifice an important deadlift session to appease someone I don't even know (I am always following a program, being a competitive powerlifter and all, and very rarely do reps of 10 or more) and trouble my sometimes-training-partner (I almost always lift alone, getting spots from random gym members), Peanuts, to come to the gym so he could use his camera to videotape my doing it. (As I have said, I don't have a cell phone or camera; never have had one).

About four months ago I pulled a tight, controlled (many would say my lowering speed on each repetition was almost a negative) 10 reps with exactly 500 (495 plus a 2.5 on each side) and without wrist straps. I think I perhaps had two more, if I pushed it. I had competed just recently and was just horsing around for a few weeks and decided I wanted to officially do 10 at 500, just for kicks.

Fourteen reps at 500 is a serious freak out performance, man. And guess what? I believe you! Did you use straps? Just wondering.

With straps and a faster lowering speed (but still controlled), I can see myself doing maybe between 15 and 20.

I have officially pulled 650 (raw) and was all set to yank a seven during my last meet (the 2012 Ontario Provincial Championship) when I had to ditch the deadlift component after injuring my knee on my second squat attempt and realizing it was NOT ready to pull big numbers off the floor. Hurt like a bitch warming up with 135 for shit sakes. Sucks. Next time.

You're a big puller, dude. Congrats. And if I ever DO videotape something such as what you challenge, I will certainly post it. But as I say, you wouldn't believe it anyway ...

Stay strong, Onetimehard. Oh, and I apologize for insulting your knowledge about the deadlift. I didn't know you were an accomplished puller. I jumped the gun.

Sorry to disappoint. However, I think pulling around seven when you're drug-free ain't too shabby.

Now go back to your triceps kickbacks, Mildred.
