Don’t be an asshole with form, stand up without excessive humping, put it down
All ball busting, while hopefully plentiful, needs to stay light hearted
Fuck weight classes, first to 600lbs has the biggest balls, end of story
Vids of starting point prefered, vids of 600+ required for credit
Conventional, sumo, we don’t give a shit
Chalk, belt are a go, suits and crazy space gear, no
Anyone can douglas, just don’t be a dickhead
Convert your weights to lbs, please jesus cater to my lazy ass
Ten is a good round number of rules, don’t ya think

Best of luck to all, though luck really has nothing to do with it. Anyway, go get 'em. You better bust ass, Beans. Once that baby arrives you’ll relive the days of getting all happy once 315 goes up. I’m 9 days out from a meet, so my heavy pulling is done until about Nov 1. Game on after that. Let’s see some big pulls on here.
Can I through my hat in the ring? I don’t have a vid of me pulling 550, but that’s my best so far. I think there’s enough videos of me pulling similar weights that 550 should be believed.
Hey just a thought. For those of us following along it would be awesome to read about the contenders deadlift program as they go along. It could be a great training tool for us lowly 400+ pullers.
Also I didn’t see if you specified a type of bar. Would trap bar deads count for the leader board?
Good luck to all I think this is gonna be pretty awesome!

I was going to talk about my appraoch after I test my max… I believe biglifter was gong to do the same, but at least expressed your thoughts as well

Beansy…so the race is to 600? No time limitation just whoever videos it first?[/quote]
Yeah to 600. I was just planning on putting people’s start date, weight and list them in order of finish. So if some dude jumping in 3 months from now with a 585 pull and gets it first, it will show that.
I figured that way, people can also be proud of making huge strides even if they don’t “win”
Not exactly sure… Haven’t pulled anything resembling “heavy” off the floor in a very long time. Guessing in the low 5’s as of current. Reworking my DL form is gonna set me back before shooting forward, but I’m still game!

So hip, the leader board will look something like this:
JohnBigPull - 50lbs/9% increase finished in 22 weeks
Sallyhot pants - 95lbs/23% increase finished in 62 weeks
etc etc etc

A couple items to add:
To get on the leader board, and (hopefully) move up it a vid has to be posted. No exceptions. And shit from two years ago don’t count.
The above post about if the trap bar counts, it doesn’t. Put on straps, belt, rub Vagisil on your glutes, snort ammonia mixed with crack, whatever. But, a trap bar deadlift is too much of a variation. Gotta draw the line on that one. Standard Oly bar is acceptable. Use a fat bar, if your balls are forged from brass.
