congratulations

was this a raw lift.

Deadlifts are pretty much ALL raw, 15lbs is about all most people get out of suits, thus why the DL record is much lower than the squat record.

Lots of people get much more than that, I know the two kids I lift with get at lest 50 lbs, and Priscilla Ribic claims to get an addition 25% out of her suit.[/quote]

A lot of that is mental. Deadlift suits do not have a great carryover…PERIOD. Mostly all they do is shove your balls up your arse.

Fuckin’ A- that’s some maverick lifting there. I’m not even going to go into the moral slippery-slope of back-spotting a naked man.

No, not raw, he used hand chalk which gave him an extra half pound. He also wore shorts and a tshirt which totally discredits the lift.

Actually there was only one true RAW lift in history…
