just hit 600lbs X1 at a body weight of 200 at age of 19 y/o

***Narkissos*** · 04-17-2005, 09:09 AM

Personal Best: 495 for one rep at the weight of around 190

I'm 198 right now...only started back training intensely (and doing deads period) a couple weeks now. Thursday i ended at 395 for one rep.

I use a narrow stance...alternate grip and straps on the heaviest sets.

I Don't use a belt at all when i train...for any bodypart... i find they limit my strength as they compress my lower diaphram...Personally, i think learning how to breath properly is better than using a belt.

About 200 for 4-6....sue me

***Narkissos*** · 04-17-2005, 09:13 AM
