I dead lifted for the first time ever today and shifted 400lbs. Just wondered how much everone lifts.
On my last Back/Ham Day, I nailed 495 lbs. for 6 reps on my final set .... the lower Back pump I got was sooooo painful.....but in a good way.
1 rep max in April 2001 I got a 1 x 385.
Last time i did it i got 405 for three I thoght my lower back was gonna just explode Definately a mass builder

I think that how much you lift is not that important, but the form is very important otherwise you are doing it for nothing...

Gosh damn. Fantastic lift! You are WAAYYYYYY stronger than me. :D
Lat time I did them I got 315 for 12 reps.
i do deads 1 x per month and partial deads along with straight leg deads and good mornings 3 x per month
i got 405 for 5 the other day on partials with a close, both hands on top and thumb length away, grip.
350 @ 160 lbs for 4 reps.

BS
(just almost did twice what I did once....yikes ! :eek: )
well i never max myself out. but i usually do 320 for reps of 6-8
update: pulled 354lbs for 6 reps
Haven't maxed on deadlifts in forever, but My last set of 6 on a straight bar is usually 455...I'd probably be able to pick up 600 once.
Just did 365 x4 last night for my last set. Getting up there quick.
last year at regionals weighing in at 128lbs I did 400lbs, not to bad for a runt.I haven't maxed sense I ripped my lat from my spine, but will try again soon. probably end of may. Just out of curiousity who uses sumo vs conventional.
My last meet i deadlifted 485 at 181lbs. It will go up soon! Trust me!
:eek: Wow ! Pork Chop that's a lot of weight for a 181 lber ! Good lift bro !Quote:

Thanks man it is my best lift. I have long arms, short torso and long legs. I will feel better once i hit 400 on my bench in a meet. I have some tricks up my sleeve and i feel lots of strength coming on soon.
I've been meaing to ask this for a few days..Can anyone describe the proper technique for DL's? Thanks for any help
I always say I'm gonna try Sumo on my next back day but never do, I just don't think it will feel right for Taller guys. Still gotta try it out.Quote:

I normally dead lift like this
1 warm up set 250lbs x 10reps
1st working set 350lbs x 10 reps
2nd working set 450lbs x 8 reps
3rd working set 550lbs x 6 reps
4th working set 550lbs x 6 reps
Thats @ 204lbs bodyweight I perform dead lift once a week and also stiff legged deadlift.I use the convential method and I use a belt and wrist straps.Sometimes I will lift this OK other times I will struggle to hit 450lbs just depends on how mentally prepared I am before the workout
not sure what my one rep max would be and to be honest not really interested in all that one rep max stuff.
When deadlifting forget the amount of weight used it is not important technique is critical do it wrong or twist a little you will end up with a very sore back and I know from painful experience.Also NEVER take deadlifts to failure

:shock: WOW ! Billy you're a strong son-of-a-gun !
Absolutely Billy Boy is correct. NEVER do deadlifts to failure or you are asking for mighty big problems, including herniated disks and soforth.Quote:

Deadlifts can if performed correctly be the most important lift you can do in the gym, as they will hit every major muscle group in the body. I especially like the work they give to my forearms, so much so I have very nice forearms, and have NEVER done an isolation movement for them.
My best dead at a bodyweight of 198 lb is 594lb for 1 rep. But I have noticed that the week that you have a goog squat your'e a little weaker in the dead and vice versa
yOU AIN'T KIDDING LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOORQuote:

8-12 CONTROLLED PERFECT FORM======HUGE
My best deADLIFT raw(with no lifting equipment) was 675 at 238 for 1 rep. this was done conventional.
i did conventional tonight at the gym and did 300 for 8 reps. My trap bar deadlift is at 345 for 8 reps. The height thing really kills me when it comes to deadlifts.
It all depends on how big my gut is. Big gut = big dead lifts. If I'm fat Dead lifting 455 is possible (fat for me is 175 pounds).Quote:

haha never done dead lifts... hahaha what a newbie eh?
lol
i pulled 545 x 6 on tuesday, which puts my one rep max at about 633
I did 275 for 3 last night. I could have went for like 8 but I always slip off and I use gloves, I would hate to be one of those guys spreading powder around the gym. WRAPS??? What do you guys do?
Sadly, after I stopped doing them for a while... for what reason, I can't remember... I'm down to 255 x 4 from 365 x4 (@ 160 lbs) Someday... someday I'll be able to move some serious weight. Right now I'm one of half a handful of people at my gym that do deadlifts (gotta love the school gyms)
AT 240 I would think mine is anything but impressive ,but impecable form is the only way for me . I"ve pulled 455 for 5,sumo style . regular around 405 for 5 w/straps, no belt . Sumo I like better hits the lats and the erectors better for back workouts. give about 5 months I'll have 500 down . rest/pause can't stress the importance of it and its benefits for this lift.
535 at 229.

DL's are one of my best exercises. Last time I did them I got 585 for 3, haven't maxed in a long time. I really started seeing good strength gains when I cycled DL's off blocks into my routine.
400 lbs last week 1 repetion maybe coz i am juicing
ahh my fav back builder 405 for 20+reps dont know max but i can pull 600 no problem
Last week 20X225, 20X315, 8x405, 4x435 at 183 lbs
D
Best ever....back in college, no juice, 600 even at 255 lbs (fat bastard).
Hadn't done them forever, recently 500 for 4 and that was on juice at 234 lbs.(Not a fat bastard anymore!)
385 for 8 reps at 185lbs.
Shooting for 610 in 3 months.
max so far was 550 (natural - no AAS used).
yeah, i'm in the same boat. my deadlifts suck for now...but i'm the only one i see in my school gym doing em...Quote:
