I think there is kind of an unspoken policy on here that if you claim to be lifting heavy shit you have to back it up. I think the cut-off is about 3/4/5. If you don’t have a video of it, or at least have posted something that makes us think you are capable of it, don’t bring it up. [/quote]
I’ll keep that in mind from now on.

Good luck man, is that pull sumo or conventional?

My goal for this year was to pull 200kg. Not much, I know, but I am only light (and have two bulging discs in my back…).
Now, onwards to 500lbs, I guess?[/quote]
Nice job man. When you hit 500 go crazy like me and say your gonna deadlift 585 in no time. Good luck.

Well if your pulling 700 and work a linear cycle for 3mnths try for a 5% increase that would be a 35pd increase.[/quote]
735 would be nice. I would be that much closer to my 800 goal.
What is considered a good deadlift for women? Any female powerlifters please let us hear your story.

Well OP, I’m actually surprised that after your 2 years of training you don’t manage 405 in the overhead press yet. Or at least 375 or something like that to match your 700 lb pull.
Weight: 293
Height: 6’ 5"
Body fat %:
Years Training: 2
My overhead press has always been hard for me to develop. Deadlifting has always been natural for me. Ive done some sort of heavy manual labor since I was about 14 and that builds very strong hands and back. Also I’m built for deadlifting with the exception of my height, I mean my arms when at my sides are about 7" away from my knees which I guess is long I dont know.
I could, for quite some time at the beginning, close-grip more than I could squat ATG. (and nowaday even my best back squat to PL depth only has about 70 or so lbs on my elbows-tucked CGP…) So yeah, I know what you mean with the leverages…
Good luck with your OHP then. I sure wish my floor deadlift were as easy to improve as my pressing.
With my somewhat shorter arms and fairly tight calves/hams, I’m pretty much forced to pull sumo as it is.

Thanks my overhead press is definately going to be a weakness for me in strongman competitions. However I’m going to make overhead events a strong event for me by next summer.
It’s like Stallion’s alter ego start posting or something…

I know a girl, who has done 380 at 138lb BW, that is pretty good IMO.

i’m 15, and weighed in at ~170 at my meet yesterday
pulled an easy 460, have pulled 480+ in training, locked out 550
goal is to get my dead to 585 before i turn 16 in late feb

I’m saying that a guy weighing in the mid 200’s pulling 700 is believable in my opinion. Why, can’t you deadlift in the 700’s?
lol of course man! i can deadlift 750! with one hand! i have yet to meet someone on the internet who couldnt deadlift AT LEAST 700.
we must have got our wires crossed, im aware that a mid 700 deadlift is a joke ON THE INTERNET. however, in real life, a 198lber DLing 700+ is fucking RARE you asshole.
you seem to be suggesting that a 700lb deadlift is pussy weight.
a 700lb deadlift is RARE full stop. please save me the story of how you only know people who pull 700, and where you come from anyone DLing 699 or less is liable to a beatdown in the lockers for being such a pussy.
[/quote]
I started off joking. Way to look like a REAL asshole though.

Impressive, you should record your attempt.

To be honest I wanted this page to be about people’s deadlifting goals and the way they are training to achieve it, not to have people say how strong or fake I was. [/quote]
What I typically will do when getting back into lifting is DL 3x a week for a couple of weeks,then 2x a week for a couple then 1x per week for a couple and eventualy alternate weekly b/w DL and squats. I usually start with high rep DL and then work my way to singles over a couple of months. While I find this to be effective for strength I also experience some back pain from onl pulling singles however I’ve had intermittant back pain since I was a little kid. I may do someting similar to this again but then I plan to scale back on the max singles and do more of a speed pulling program which will hopefully save me some pain and allow for continued progress.
Historically I’ve pulled with some chains attached to the bar in addition to training weight. I may do some of this but I am also going to add some deficit pulling to see how that helps me.
OP what is your reasoning for not having filmed a 700lb deadlift in this day and age? Also whats your vertical jump at with such a good dl?

Yeah- I’d like to pull 800 too. I pulled my first 700 last summer and 720 in Decemeber. Since then, I have missed 717, 733 (twice), 722, and 740. On every one of those pulls, I ripped the weight off the floor like it was a joke, got it over my knee and had my right hand pop open.
An 800 lb pull is one of those mythic barriers for a lifter to break- just as a 1000 lb squat or a 500 lb raw bench might be. This seems to be true with little regard to weight class- there are lots of 700+ pullers from the 198s on up- but few 800+ pullers. I believe that almost any large man can pull 700 eventually if he commits himself to a lifestyle of hard training. But there something about that jump from 700 to 800 that leave most by the wayside. Grip is the most common culprit- think of all the strongman comepetitors that pull 800+ with straps. But, I think a lot of lifters run into the issue of how to train the lift in productive manner that does not get them hurt.[/quote]
good post. i hit 500 in hs, took about 3-4 years of specific PL training to hit 600, and very slow gains after that. closer i got to 700, the more the injuries kept coming.
point? i think just abut anybody regardless of weight(unless your a waif) can hit 500 if they work the pull consistently and not vag-out.
600? a little tougher, very doable if you are just an average guy who puts in the work. not impressive but respectable.
700? now you are in the game. not elite, but very good, and you are a player.
800? world class, like pinto said, now you are elite.
you shoud FLY up to 500, take a litte time to get to 600, after that, the gains will get slower and the jumps smaller as you get better. that is if you are an average guy who works hard. there are some real beasts/freaks out there though.

i have a vid of my 460 if you’d like, and i’m probably just gonna pull 500 so i can say i have sometime this weekend

The reason I have not filmed my 700 is because I do not have a digital camera or recorder. I have never really done vertical jump training or technique work. A few months ago I was just curious to see what my vertical would be and it was only about 28, which is not bad for someone my weight. I am pretty sure if I worked my technique out and did speed training I could get well into the 30 inch vertical range.
I’m going to a meet saturday, hoping for ca. 530, wish me luck.
