Which one motivates you more?

Thatās the thing idk if I have motivationā¦ The crazy numbers came so quick that I guess I donāt have appreciation for them and its whatever for me.
I pulled 405 the first time I ever deadlifted. But I want to pull 800 or more under 200 lb bodyweight.
Just set big, scary goals.
Or donāt.
It will be HIGHLY unlikely that you accidentally become the āpound for pound Strongest Man in the Worldā. Without being motivated, training consistently and eating towards that specific goal, I donāt see it.
You have a strong deadlift for being a tiny person, but 345lbs isnāt that heavy by an average lifterās standards. Hawthorne, on the other hand, puts up 650+lb Deadlift, 500+lb squat and 300+lb bench making him a very impressive lifter ESPECIALLY since he is ~130-135lbs.

Exacly 3.5x body weight in my first year is goodā¦give me 10 years like hawthorne and Iāll up there on a 5x body weight dead ā¦ And 415 isnāt average I go a lot of meet and thatās what most of the 132ās 148ās and even 165ās pullā¦
Now of course if u talking about a 198, 220. 242 thatās not even average (415=1.5 x body weight) butā¦ Everyone isnāt a 198-308
You just said that is what most of them pull that by definition is average. but you ll Also gain weight once you actually start lifting. In case your wondering I have 70lbs on you and over 300 on your deadlift max

Iāve lost fat while gaining a little muscle so I havenāt added much weightā¦Iām like 7 pounds heavier than I was when I started
Yes, there is nobody debating that you pulling 3.5x your bodyweight is good.
Yes, potentially if you put in the proper work and train/diet smart.
Iām not sure where I said that 415lbs was an average pull? Additionally, I wouldnāt consider an average lifter to be the same as an average COMPETITOR.
Like Vince said, doesnāt this statement detract from your ācrazyā deadlift?
If it isnāt evident to everyone reading, Iām quite bored at the moment hence the caring enough to reply to this threadā¦
Depends. Do you want to be strong for your bodyweight? Do you want to be strong by average Joeās standards? Do you want to be strong by T-Nation standards? Orā¦ Do you really give a shit?
Thatās a serious question. It doesnāt matter whatās possible or what we think you should do. The only thing that matters is whatās important to you. If itās important for you to deadlift a certain weight and you want help here then ask away. If youāre interested in a philosophical debate then please read the 600lb Deadlift thread in the Bigger Stronger Leaner section. I think weāve beat that horse enough.
Pound for pound your Deadlift sounds great. Might I ask, barbell or trap bar and how is your form? I recall my classmates pulling 400-500lbs trap bar at that age but their spine looked like a question mark.

On a barbell once I get over 380 I get a little bend in my back but nothing crazy
Oooh, oooh, that was me! It was this horrible completely folded over lower back raise.
The worst part was that our āstrength coachā would grimace but never say anything and still count the lift.
Thinking about taking HGHā¦how much will my lifts go up?
You gotta be fucking joking.
