Deadlift Max vs. Bodyweight

520 at 175 age 20, natural, raw, no belt.

450 @ 175 bw with belt

Did 297@143

405 at 185, 15 years old, I’ve always been good at the deadlift for some reason.

325 at 185lbs raw

505 at 240lbs with belt

450 @ 185 lbs. at 15 years old.

455 sumo @ 240, only been deadlifting heavy for a year

458 @ 200

405x8 @195

I would speculate that most people responding to this thread are either relatively strong or have relatively good deadlifts. I bet the average would be lower if more a representative (randomly chosen) sample was taken from T-Nation members. Just a thought.

506lbs @ 230 with a belt. I’ve replied already, but since then I’ve broken 500lbs, which has been my target since I started deadlifting (about a year and a half ago).

385 @190

405 @ 210 with straps

380 @ 170

505 @ 175

375 @ 165

485 @ 215

600 lb deadlift @ 240 lbs body weight in USAPL meet. My squat finally caught up last month when i hit 595 with just briefs, knee wraps, and belt. My bench still sucks ass…345 lbs raw last week. long arms rule for DL but suck for bench!! God i wanna get strong as shit! good lifting gang.

I find it interesting to look at lifter’s rep endurance.

My bests:
Max 535# @ 170# BW
Rep: 405x8

OK, so would you like me to help make the average slightly more realistic? 140kg at 96kg BW.
BTW I am 53, been lifting for 3 years.

175kg at body weight of 85kg
