I don’t see any scenario where Poundstone doesn’t take WSM back for the US this year.
Except that one scenario where Zydrunas takes it.
Or Terry Hollands, or one of the other crazy strong dudes that are competing this year… as much as I like Derek and Zydrunus, it is a TOUGH lineup this year and I would not be shocked if someone else took the podium. Either way its gonna be awesome to watch![/quote]
Well of course I know that other people could take it, I just mean that Poundstone looked incredible last year, lost by an inch, and he just seems to continue to improve.
One thing I cannot wait to see is him on atlas stones, I am sure that has been a huge emphasis for him this year after it did him in by such a small margin at last years WSM, and it already was a strength for him.

That 9th rep was insane the way he did it.[/quote]
Yeah, I have never seen or even considered a deadlift to look anything like that last rep. Regardless, the ease in which he is able to pick up 800 for the first rep is beyond me.
The one rep max calculator wouldn’t work because of the stretch reflex. If he started at the top position of the deadlift he possibly could get 1029, but no way he’d be able to pull that from the floor.
I think what you meant is that the one-rep max calculator wont work because it’s a piece of crap to start with and even worse when you’re doing that many reps[/quote]
Is there any real formula for estimating a 1 RM dead off of a max effort set of 3-5? Obviously a standard 1RM calculator is not suited for a Deadlift and the only true max is a 1RM. But has anyone seen a revised formula that may be somewhat close?
All i’ve got to say is wow wow wow, Poundstone is one strong motherfucker. If someone even reaches a max of 800 in their lifetime they are best of the best, and he made that look like it was 405.

Most people (males) that are intermediate or advanced get 10-15 lbs per rep on the deadlift, assuming the multiple rep sets are performed with decent form and not extreme bouncing. So if you could do 400x5 at 10 lbs rep you would be looking at about 440 lbs 1RM, give or take a bit. I wrote about article about how to figure this out for yourself if you want to check it out.
