I don’t film myself (no training partner), but today I pulled 455x1. The bar had great speed, and my grip was rock-steady at the top. I held it there, too, for about 5 seconds before releasing it.
I have been doing speed work for a few months now on a 5/3/1 WSBB hybrid (basically 5/3/1 with DE work integrated into it), and I switched from conventional to sumo in this last cycle. This was a sumo pull.
I wore a belt for my pull, but normally do my work beltless, and strapless.
Duo joining the race here! pre-injury i was at a 490lbs conventional deadlift,now i have a hard time with 460lbs.
Doing the Rippetoe for 2months and then 5.3.1

I’m in, current is 440lbs/200kg conventional. Do we need a video when we make the magical 5 plate pull?[/quote]
You don’t NEED one but do it if your able to.[/quote]
Ah surely one has to be accountable in a race … videos are banned in my gym but i found someone working there willing to video my Squat & Dl.
Or else the INTERNET would take over and everyone would be 900/1000/1100 lb lifts

It might be a “race”, but I don’t see much competition-only a group of people with similar goals who are sharing the experience with each other.
The last thing I’m here to do is to take credit for something I haven’t done. I am an individual, only accountable to myself, and not a group of relatively anonymous internet users.
To those who post videos: Awesome!
To those that don’t (including myself): To thine ownself be true!

Yep, I think someone else posted this before but the title says “Quest” not a race or competition. No reason to lie about your numbers here. Plus everyone has a different starting point so it wouldn’t be a fair race anyway.
I’m in. Most I’ve ever pulled is 475, but I think i can get at least 485. Last time i did a ME pull from the floor i did the 475 and it had okay bar speed, so i got gung ho and jumped to 500. I moved it, but only inches.
2 Weeks ago 385x7 (was going for 9 but sucked). Today was 405x7 for +2 rep PR.
Standing on a plate 415+50lbs of chains. This was after a miss at 425. The mid-shin portion grinded on for what seemed like forever and then the pushing my hips through at the top took a while too.
Moved to a new garage. The weights will not tolerate the cement floor. DL on hold till I get a proper rubber mat that can do shock absorption.
I’m in. About 1 1/2 weeks ago I did 445. In February I had a major injury that had me sidelined for 6 months. My hamstring, adductor magnus, and piriformis had grade 2 tears (my leg was a nice shade of purple for quite a while. In mid August I started doing 5/3/1, and have made great improvements in my squat and dl from where I was 10 months ago. I WILL have a 500lb deadlift in April!
P.S. I realize that I dropped the weight, which may make me seem like a douche, but it felt amazing to pull that weight again after not even being able to bend over and tie my shoe 10 months ago. I got caught up in the moment!
Yea I’m in. 405 for a triple at the moment. Let’s see where I’ll go. Haha, might be a while.
deadlift day today! session’s going to be like this;
5135
3225
1315
15*405
adding ten pounds every week.
ps;old video of 490x1 before injury.
back from the gym.
couldnt do 405x5 in a row,did 3x405 and 2x405
did set a new PR on front squat though!
Really disappointing day. I got a 405 pull easy. Tried 455… wouldn’t budge… tried 435 (what I came into beginning of thread). I couldn’t get that up either…
Kinda strange considering I got a 415 50lb chain a 2-2.5 deficit not long ago.
Does this just sound like a bad day to ya’ll? The only other thing I can think of is that I’ve been neglecting gm supplementary work.
bad day id say!
I did pull off a 455lbs friday, amma start doing some rack pull on monday.
for those curious,here is and old video of me before injury, the black plates are 55bls.
ill join this quest, hit 455 last week once, attempted 495 and got it about 3 inches from a lockout and it probably took me 5-6 seconds to get it there. unfortunately dropped it, got worried id throw out my back so i threw it down.
Bodyweight: 183
Height: 5’11"
only using belt & chalk, no wraps.
Last week was definitely a bad workout. I pulled 455 this time around. I felt more pop and made small adjustments to my form. I narrowed in my stance a little and started with my shins closer to the bar. I can’t do the super wide stance now that the weight is getting heavier. It’s just too hard on my hips. I’ll rotate this in about 8 weeks from now and see where I am then.
Last Friday i pulled 475 but failed at 485.
Taking a few days off,need to deload a bit.
Dont give up people!
edit;my youtube embed vid doesnt work so here is the link to the 490lbs
I started the Coan-Philipi deadlift cycle yesterday with a starting max of 455lbs. Hopefully it will take me to a 495lbs deadlift.
Got it! Finally!
