Alright, took my first step. Deads today, and I was in the zone. Did 135 (easy), 185 (easy), 225(not bad), 255 (hmm, these are going up fine). So took a risk and tried 295, first time ever. Did it!!! PR!! No belt . . . no wraps . . . no chalk.
Now only 200 lbs to go. . . .

FANTASTIC!!!
I pulled 562# in a meet in May, which is just over 2.0bw. I can’t post video until I get home this weekend.
Phooey. I have a 'stache, but can’t grow a beard.
Matty, why so down about going through puberty years before the average guy? In weightlifting, that’s a big plus.
Just pulled 290 for 5 sets of 10 tonight. BRING IT ON!!!
Anyone worried yet?
Brett now your just being modest, I know you pulled 490!
Im in I pulled 405 the other day think I had maybe 415 in me…well see how long it takes
I would be in, but my football team doesn’t use deadlifts as a primary lift. Only bench, squat, and clean. So my deadlift takes a back seat… Last time I maxed I got 400 for 1. Bodyweight is 235lbs.
Hi, Andrew. Whereabouts in Pennsylvania are you, if you don’t mind my asking?
How have I missed this most excellent thread?? Great work all. After my ‘diet’ experiment I’d like to work towards pulling 600.
Harry thinks he’s so cool with all that hair on his head. Totally overrated. Real men aren’t afraid to show their scalp.
Ecogenx, all this hair is so much trouble. You wouldn’t believe all the money I blow on haircuts. They keep cutting and cutting, but the stuff just keeps growing back. Oh yes, and have to spend 2 whole minutes every single morning shampooing it.
Wait . . . why are you sobbing?

I’m a bit late!
But HELL YEAH!!!
OK, 5 more pounds closer! Did 295 last week, today did 300! Or I think I did . . . it was really slow going up, not quite sure if I made it all the way, I think I did. Now my back is good and sore and not talking to me.
All because of Upscale urging me to go the distance. Incredible how women can motivate men.
