What's a Good Deadlift?

im 130lbs, and im deadlifting 280lbs 2reps…
is that considered good?

deadlifting is good

Yeah, that’s more than 2x your BW. Pretty good. Keep up the good work.

Don’t worry about what others think is good. You should always be striving to improve all your lifts, they should never be good enough

The junior deadlift record for the 132’s in the APF is listed at 448.

i dont think hes asking if thats good “enough” i think he just wants to know if its a respectable lift for his weight.

id say for such a low weight yeah thats pretty good

I outweigh you by 45 lbs and do a lot less. Of course, I have bad knees and do eight reps, but still…

no one tests their 1RM anymore?

2x body weight is very respectable. Good work.

For lighter guys I always thought 3x body weight was a good lift.

im getting pretty curious of other’s deadlifts actually

i dont have any deadlift numbers right now but i have the next best thing: rack deads

bodyweight: 198

todays rack deads: 295x8 315x6 335x4 375x2 395x1

one that is more weight or reps than you have done previously.

that’s what i thought too, Benching 2x bodyweight is a different story though.

You deffinately gotta get some DL numbers bro rack deads deffinately don’t count when you compare them to normal deads.

No doubt. I can rep much more when I’m rack pulling.

yeah i want to do deads but the program im on right now has me doing racks so eh what are you gonna do?

im just a fan of deadlifts and the it’s variations (except romanian), probaly because my build which hinders me in other exercises actually helps me with deads.

Agreed. As long as you’re improving you’re doing fine.

4x bodyweight is pretty good… anything less is pretty weak
