Nice! Made it look easy.

Well I got the equipped 600 squat a couple months ago… Raw squat still way behind but my deadlift is movign nicely. Here is a 551 pull:

Well, I was never really sure which would get to 600 first: my squat or my DL…turns out it was the DL, which I hit tonight!

Boom!

Great pulls VT!

I’m just barely in this thread…I competed in my first meet and pulled a PR 502#. I felt like I had more in me, so I’d like to compete again this summer and see what happens. This time in the 220s, too tall for this 198 krap.

Altimus: thanks man

Yeah you’re way too tall to be a 198…how tall are ya? You should come to Rhodestown…its where all the tall guys belong! haha

I’m 6’5 here

I’m 6’2" with orangutan arms. I was hovering around 208 a week or so before the meet, then got a case of the bubble guts and dropped to 199. Being a pound away from the next division, I just went with it. Wasn’t thrilled about it, but live and learn. 6’5" ya say? Then I have no excuse!

I guess I belong here now after deadlifting 230kg (507) a few weeks ago. Next time I test my max I’ll be sure to get a video!

I dunno how long that squat will take me… but I’m almost there with the deadlift. check my threads for deadlifting vids, 6’5" under 205, I’ll be 20 on wednesday. Tall genes disagree with squatting lol but bring on the 600 pull

Yes it’s with straps, but I train for strongman: 16 and 270lb in the video.

It’s kinda hard to see the 5 and the 2.5 on the side.
