Making a Deadlift Challenge - Opinions Wanted

Imagine if Joe Morrow entered this competition. I think he would get a good 30+

I’m not a fan of the straps idea either. Since this is essentially a burnout on a set weight that should include grip strength imo

I have faith in Efeguwewe, but im hoping another big pound for pound puller from T-Nation jumps in as well. Better not lose a a bb.com or some other nonsense.

The pressure is on, you’re making me crumble already[/quote]

Yeah, tough to make everyone happy in one competition, but it will be good turn out straps or not.

Looks like you’ve got a following, you want in on representing tnation? :smiley:

Decent amount of 148-165 guys around here it seem!

Efeguwewe what is your bw and deadlift max?

Most I’ve ever gotten was 515 a couple of months ago so I’d imagine around 530-545ish right now

Since Bolton has an account here, someone make him enter on T-Nation’s behalf

Nice pulling man!

Yeah someone needs to get Andy and Benni up in here :smiley:

i haven’t spent a lot of time pulling for reps but i think i’m good for around 15 reps with 490 right now in the 242 class. i have no idea if that is okay or shit. i pulled 475 for 10, all deadstop tonight at the end of my deadlift session and it was fairly easy.

Wow that is some good shit pullin 500 x 3. But just for the sake of clarification, B Money those type of reps would not be allowed in this comp right? since its touch and go (and dont get me wrong, its impressive as hell, just sayin for this competition)

belt allowed? if anyone’s doing more than 6 reps i’m not evne gonna try, lol

You sir are correct!

Yep belt is allowed and you can count on someone doing over 6 reps lol. We are planning on having some sort of random prize though. So you might be able to get hooked up just for the effort!

If belts werent allowed I bet nobody would do it. Thats just askin for somethin to snap up going till failure. But I’m gonna tell you first that people are gonna be doin more than 6

I hit 10 touch and go no straps with 425 at a strongman comp in the 175s in 60 seconds and i kind of thought it was shit honestly. Winner got 12 in that event

Nice!! I imagine that would have you place very highly.

In other news:

flyer is done, just awaiting sponsorship reply, emails are out, then we will get this bad boy rolling! Looking forward to it!!

Worked up to 485 for my deadlift workout today but just wanted to see what 370 x 10 feel like, I think with straps and fresh legs I could at least double it

Nice! Perfect example right there.
