good stuff, well done

[OnTheSauce]

I opened with 535, then messed up my 2nd attempt, so 3rd attempt I stayed within a weight I knew I could pull.

yeah, if no2 doesnt go to plan its best to play safe. i always opened with a sure start, no2 for something i wanted and no3 an all out attempt at the unknown

[OnTheSauce]

That was the plan. 535, 573, then 600. But I botched the 2nd attempt and did 573 again. Got it pretty easy

I only see 440 tops on that bar....which is good weight BTW. Form is cringe worthy........we only have one back and once it's fvcked....it's fvcked

Hope you prove me wrong man......it would be a first.

no way are you pulling 250kgs

yeah, me also. been around plifting for 18yrs, if he is pulling 250kg then i'll eat my keyboard. ive seen more meat on Good Friday

so basically you've only been working out properly for one year? and your on a 250kg dead already?!!! now im def out, i do not believe this

[terraj]

Well done mate....very impressive.

[DanB]

well done mate,much respect for ya here, whats your next goal/ambition now?

[slfmade]

Well done man, I'm seeing a lot of people pulling their foot out about right now!

[dec11]

fvck you

im betting you rushed in and didnt position yourself?

controlled violence is the way i like to describe my state of mind when walking up to a dlift bar lol

yeah. i didn't have much time. I only had about 20 seconds when i walked on stage and rushed it.

probably doing an spf meet jan 28, which is a national qualifier. I want to pull 600. I'm taking the rest of De***ber off from heavy deads.

[auslifta]

Just found this thread, I don't know alot about PLing, but that weigh is really impressive for your weight. Good work.

[DanB]

best of luck with it, ill be watching out for posts/thread, keep us informed on your progress

[dec11]

yeah. i didn't have much time. I only had about 20 seconds when i walked on stage and rushed it.

yeah, mostly the case when a lifter misses a 2nd lift but completes a 3rd. getting yourself psychologically tuned in makes serious difference. a guy i trained with also competed against me and in training he always had an edge on me sometimes out lifting by 20kgs on squats and deads. but come comp day i always slaughtered the chap, the only diff was i could tune myself in and got a serious big buzz on comp days whereas he went to pieces and couldnt concentrate on his positioning etc.

you need to be a ticking time bomb but under control, i love the feeling!!

my advice would be no to, you dont want to be peaking yourself too many times per year mate, you be surprised how sore it is on joints and CNS. i was doing 4-5 comps a year and my coach warned me i was headed for injuries in later life by doing too many, he was right
keep yourself fresh by doing 3 comps max per year.

over here all you need is to arrange for two federation referees to come to your gym and oversee you doing a qualifying total, doesnt have to be a comp. maybe check that out?

[gearbox]

awesome lifts and thanks for the pics...great job man...and take it easy on the body...

[OnTheSauce]

Well big reason for doing that meet is to see my mom. the competition is about halfway between us. she's driving down to see me, and paying for it too. After this one, I won't do another for a while.

[gearbox]

good luck man,,,and that is very nice of her to support....

try bring your feet in closer together, this added weight to my lifts and stabilised me alot more, experiment with the distance apart, ive found 7" perfect and it makes me feel bolted to the ground. take a grip that just allows your hands to slip past your hips for the lock out.

are you useing the block breathing technique as to prepare to pull?

[OnTheSauce]

block breathing technique?

[dec11]

block breathing technique?

yeah, bent over grip on the bar, legs straight, take three deep breaths right into the pit of your stomach, get as much oxygen in as poss, it helps. pulled 270kg (594lbs) tonight, didnt feel the 280kgs in me. back to reps for 4wks now and have another blast at it.

pissed i cant run my cycle id started!!!

why couldnt you run the cycle...and you place your feet only 7 inches apart

[dec11]

i got called in for my 1st endo appointment for trt.

and yes 7" apart, stops legs from bowing and quivering

[Big Dawg]

Im not tryin to be hating on anyone here but i deadlifted 570 my junior year in high school, and i was a pretty thick guy. I dont see how he is deadlifting 500 being that small framed no disrespect. Although Dec11 i did blow my deadlifts up that same year i went from 400 to 570 but that was over the course of a year. Im not taking any sides just throwing some different ideas out there. Nice lift though!

[OnTheSauce]

im at 615 now lol.

[gearbox]

Great job man. you went up 10 already..nice...

[Conrad0032]

I don't get it what's so hard to believe. I pulled 545 at 17 at 210ish with a belt. Then I got 535 at 17 at 195 with a belt. I just uploaded my video of my deadliest on youtube. Same name as on here: Conrad0032. Not to mention this was 100% natural, have yet to touch gear. I definitely believe this is real, however your form did suck haha, but hey maxes are always a little bit ugly, right? haha. Good job man.

[MuttonChop]

Edited for stupidity.

Good job to the OP
