[Tru2]

Very strong... does she compete?

Nope - but there is encouragement a plenty. she doesn't think shes strong enough.

[audis4]

1 rep @ 475 tonight...went up 10lbs since last week.

[*Narkissos*]

I pulled 495 lbs@ 170 lbs 4% bodyfat... while cutting for nationals last year

500 x 5; 545 x 3 @ 5'6" 212 lbs in february.

Cut for nationals this year... was still pulling 500 for reps.

Right now i'm still in maintenance (resting my body...will start bulking in the new year). I'm at 210 and my dead is still around 500 +. 455 without straps.

When i'm back around 215-220 i'll be at 500 raw.. and probably 585 w/ straps.

[*Narkissos*]

DL 200 @158lbs.. shooting for 210 on Saturday. This has doubled in 3 months mind you.

nice numbers m'lady

lol...someone woulda tried that if u didnt put the disclaimer

[IronReload04]

good work

thanks. actually, i have squated for a very long time before starting deads, so i had the base, it was just a matter of making the movement a repetitive one

[Doc.Sust]

squating is big key to a good deadlift

use straps you could probly do much more than 405

[taiboxa]

Chalk k thnx

[SVTMuscle*]

For some reason straps make it worse for me. But that also may be because my straps are worn to shit so they are very smooth on the insides.

[taiboxa]

real men use chalk..

[taiboxa]

alot of chalk!!no straps,

then bandaids after it pulls all ur calloses off! ><
but yeah I CAN lift more w/ chalk than w/ straps on deads for sure bout 5% more or so

i probably could do more with the straps(than my grip would be a double over hand grip, and it would be a more normal ,better bio-mecahnical pull) but i will neve know becasue if icant use straps when i compete, it make very little sense to use them when i train

w/ straps i never get an even spread, and since my hands are fixated to the bar its a proplem to adjust them a quarter of an inch .. so w/ straps its like one side comes up first ><

[SVTMuscle*]

I have not, but I guess i'll give it a shot.
I'm a lefty, so what hand do I put backwards?

[taiboxa]

dont think it really matters
i was taught to feel it out see which feels best to u .. i right handed and i use a pronated right suplinated left

[taiboxa]

no wait switch that pronated left suplinated right ><

[Doc.Sust]

I have not, but I guess i'll give it a shot.

it depends on waht feels right to you, i used to go both ways now i stick with left supinated right pronated
