150kg x 10; back started to round on 11th so stopped it there. I’m at the point now where I’m very confident I could pull it with good form but that set was last night; and I have an inguinal hernia op on Monday. Looks like I’m going to be starting from scratch again in a couple of months time. Buggery.
How did I just see this thread? I’m in. 365 max last time I checked and pulled 330x4 last week, so I’m gunning for 405 too. Good luck everyone
310lbs for a double. As far as my form goes, i think i could/should keep the bar closer to my body and use my legs a bit more. Any other advice?
Pulled 275 pounds for 3 sets of 4 reps easily, but I used straps. Next session I’ll try caulk.
hi, im a douche.
i’ve pulled a 385 lb * 1 for my PR, but didn’t man up and go for the 4 plates, but instead did some rack pulls right after and got 405 lbs from right below the knee. I always thought rack pulls make your deadlift stronger, but I’ve learned since then that you have to incorporate them at the right time! Since then, I’ve pulled a 365 lb * 1 and nearly killed myself on that effort. Currently I’m taking some time off working out, but will definately be shooting for the 405 and more starting in September.
My PRS are:
DL ----------- 385 lb
Bench Press ----------- 275 lb
Squat ------------- 495 lb
for a combined 1155 lb
im a strong mofo, but i feel that my deadlift could be stronger and that is exactly what I plan to work on.

I’ve gotta ask… is that squat legit…?
what’s considered legit?
if by legit u mean parallel then yes.
I squat deep, but even if i only squated to parallel, i still believe my deadlift would be much higher than my squat. Thats weird for their to be that high of a difference. My best squat is 215lbs x 5(estimated just short of 250) my DL 1RM is 335.
Depends on your limbs, not everyone is the same. I really don’t think you could have a squat THAT much higher than your deadlift though. I’m not calling you a liar, but it’s hard to believe. You might want to find someone who knows what they’re doing to make sure you are hitting depth. If you aren’t into powerlifting though, it really doesn’t matter
here is a good article on the power squat.
i dont understand how people can have low squat numbers and be able to lift so much more on the deadlift…i have stronger legs from being such an active kid. i was a long distance runner and played lots of soccer and bike etc. powerlifting was something i started in order to improve my physique and performance in basketball
kudos to ashylarryku on the 405 goal saw the video in the thread!!

What’s parallel to what? I’ve heard different versions of what’s parallel. It’s just that even for people who do have a higher squat than deadlift and have the optimal leverages for squatting, especially raw it’s very, very uncommon for the difference to be that big.
Btw, I think you’ll find much better articles on squatting here at T-Nation than on wiki… just a little fyi…
edit: And best of luck towards your pull.
i will eventually squat 6 plates, and deadlift 500
but i dont think my deadlift will ever surpass the amount i can squat, im just too skinny at 65 kg!!
Holy shit 495 squat at 65kg?! that’s bloody impressive mate. I hope you remembered to take a video - I’d love to see it. Or if not take one and post it up.
However I’m not totally sure that distance running contributed to that much.
I’m in on this. I pulled 310x9 yesterday. Four plates WILL go up by years end. You can check my training log for more details.
P.S. What do people mean by gripping the slack out of the bar?

Apply a bit of tension to the bar before you begin your pull. If you jerk the bar without applying slack to it, you should hear a little clicking sounds. Pull up on the bar a bit before actually beginning your pull

By clicking sounds, do you mean the plates rattling?

No, but the slop that lies between the end of the bar and the inside of the plates, when on the floor, the bar is resting at the bottom of the hole, and when you lift it, it hits the top, since plates aren’t an exact diameter match to all bars universally.

I see. I’ve never really thought about pulling the slack out, so I don’t know if I do or not. I’ll have to focus on it during my next deadlift workout. Thanks!

No problem. Just grip the bar, pull up a tiny bit before ripping with full force, you’ll feel it ‘click’ and then GO!
oooooohhhhh I wanna join
