did a strongman comp with a weeks notice after competing in Dallas last weekend. It had a last man standing deadlift. I wore straps and a LOOSE metal deadlifter. My previous pr was 565.
It was the second event after tire flips
Attempts went 405,455,500,550,600 I cracked 625 off the ground to right below my knees I would have had to hitch the hell out of it and didn’t want to get hurt with Americas Strongest Man in 9 weeks plus I already had the event win
Been chasing it for 3 years and always failed when trying to bring my deadlift from mid 5’s to 600. Funny this whole year I’ve just been training real high rep in the 400-455 range and did this comp on a whim
Attempted 620 like 10 minutes later I think I had it but wanted to play it safe.

Wow. That was a fast lift. What is your strap-less (or dare I even ask, raw) PR?[/quote]
Haven’t tested it, I’ve pulled 545 like that. If I end up doing a powerlifting meet in January or so like I want to we will see. my goal would be 550/320/600ish in the 181s
