Getting to a 400 lb. Deadlift

I should be approaching 400 near spring time(or earlier). Pulled an easy 315 @ 165# a few weeks ago.

Good for you! I’ve pulled 350 @ 200lbs, and hitting at least 400 is my goal too.

Cressey had an article here some time back that said any healthy guy can pull 400 given a year of solid training. I’m well behind schedule if that’s the case, but again my traning has been too haphazard since this summer to even remotely qualify as solid.

Wait straps are allowed? Game over fuckers I’m locking it down tonight.

J/K
I have a lot of work ahead of me. Good luck to all, see you at the finish line.

You guys and your run at 600 makes me want to run at 5 with anyone. I know there are “Race to XXX” threads, but they’re mostly people coming in whenever saying “I’m down, I’m 10 #'s away, blah blah” and it’s a continuous run.

Anyone pulling sub-450 wanna go for 500?

these races are only cool if you do double over grip with convi stance

glove and strapless

I actually stumbled on this and wasn’t following the thread. I’m not sure why you mention me though. I pulled North of 6 a very long time ago. So I’m not sure how I’d fit into this challenge.

with your penis in a vagina.

I rack pulled north of 6 with straps and Enya in my earbuds a few years ago.

That has to count for something.

When I put it down I went outside and rolled in the grass and cried a little.

Super etherial phase I was going through.

form tips, ball busting, bringing general badassery to the thread, lol

I knew you had a bigger pull than 6, figured you couldn’t resist a bunch of assholes giving each other a hard time, etc. And was basically talking about the (very few) advantages of having the thread in GAL.

I’m thinking once Herc-rocks weights in, and we have everyone that wants in, in, I’ll start a thread in PL’ing I suppose.

Also, Five Finger Death Punch released a new album last month that I just heard about today.

If it is half as good as the last one, you fellas are in for a world of hurt, lol

Man, this my sound weird, but the clanging of rack pulling anything over 450lbs is loud as hell no matter how slow I try to lower the weight.

Probably looks retarded, but when I rack pull I have ear plugs in. Heh

In as well

For which race dawg?

Lifting on wrecked legs from squatting. A-game will be brought in the new thread, bitches.

fml, is that 550? You are much better at that “grind the fucker out” thing than I am, I either hit it, ramp it or drop that shit, lol. I’m going to get killed here, but I’m going down swinging like a motherfucker.

How tall are you?

I was hoping to test Friday

I’m down guys. Current best with straps is 535, but current best without is 525. Currently getting over my pissed off piriformis/glutes. But will be in on this in a week or two.

Any issues with the rules set forth thus far within?
