How tall are you?

If it breaks the ground, 99% likely to go up. On the flip side, it looks hilarious when it ends up stapled to the floor. Like I walked up, held my breath until turning red in the face and walked away. That’s only 530 in the vid. Too ripped up from squats, so I cut it off there (550 was the original plan). Really looking fwd to some competition up to 600. And I’m 5’5", you know, one of them weak annoying manlets.

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. [/quote]
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.[/quote]
You who are about to die, I salute you
Deadlift is the truest test of strength IMO.
If I remember correctly, it was a steady dose of reverse hypers that put me past the threshold.

Sounds good to me, though as brad asked are we going to use straps? Maybe i missed it, but an important one to think about.

5’5"? That is why I thought you were north of 230, and you deffo are not, lol.
You guys want the official thread in training logs or powerlifting? I figure logs is a bit more private.

There is already a 600 race in PL forum, so maybe training logs since our rules are different and not super strict.

BL was cool with them I believe, and I don’t care either.
I can’t use them from the floor as they fuck up my whole flow, but yeah if you want go for it.
I mean straps from the floor are an insult to jesus himself, but hey, who am I to judge

Agreed. I’d like to see it read that way too. More than just ‘I lifted x lbs. tonight’, seeing how some of the 500lb.+ lifters setup programming would be of particular interest (frequency of 90+% 1RM attempts, volume, sets/reps/usual crap, etc).

Sounds good, and to get things going. Here is my second deadlift attempt from my meet in july. Went for a pr on my 3rd but had nothing left.

Teh reverse hyper thing is great news to me… Recently got access to one.
As for time limit… Not yet, I just figured we would bullshit around until one of us stopped being a pussy and hit it. lol[/quote]
My friend that i trained with over the summer has a reverse hyper, but i don’t have access to one currently, and i miss it. It’s terribly uncomfortable, but is a very beneficial exercise.

About 5’7". I’ve always had decent strength regardless of bodyweight.
Here’s my first 600+, 605 done 6/7/11. Bodyweight was 205, used a loose metal deadlifter , and was 47, 48 now.
The actual weight was 619.5, I weigh all my plates btw.

Seriously?
I’d compare a 405 dead with a 225 - 250 bench in terms of accomplishment or degree of difficulty.

Agreed . I was just shy of it at 19 and 132 lbs . It’s not that hard for a grown man .[/quote]
Were you also very short?[/quote]

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?[/quote]
Joyce, I’m down
I’m pulling around 415 ish at the moment … At the rate I’m going I should be able to pull 500 soon enough … where are you at?[/quote]
Sweet. 435 at a meet a couple months ago, but I know I’m a bit north of that now. Hit a “moderately easy” 425 last week, but not much deadlifting in my programming right now. Still, I’ll race ya!
