Race to a 700lb Deadlift

[Ironlyfe80]

I pulled 650 off blocks Sunday after doing squats. I think I could've pulled 675 if I'd have went for it. I may yet pull 700lbs this year.

When I grow up, I want to be like you. I'm hoping to pull 585 at my meet. Might be able to since I think squats are going to be out of the question.

Thanks. If it makes you feel any better I wish I had your bench.

585 is awesome though. Most will never pull that and you're borderline there now. I think I'd only hit like 545x3 when I pulled 600 the first time.

Lol I look like a fucking t-rex dude no biceps no triceps and no forearms for sure hahah.
I might start the Mike Ohearn 12 weeks program to change that

I am the only unlucky one running a cut cycle and trying to lose weight so my deadlift is no increasing at all x( all of you are lucky

Unfortunately I'm trying to drop a little fat this summer as well! Need to lose about 15-20lbs, so I got some wiggle room during my blast and meet prep in the fall! I came in 5lbs over in my last meet! Damn anadrol!

Looked easy peezy! You usually pull conventional, right?

Me? Yes, I normally pull conventional. I'm just currently using sumo on my block pulls on another day per my coach. I'm fairly comfortable pulling with either style, but it's looking like conventional is my stronger stance.

 

[johntt44]

Yeah, I meant you! Haha! I thought I hit the quote button, my bad.

Did some paused deadlifts today (someone stole my fucking belt ) 455 lbs x 3 repx x 5 sets paused for 3 secs few cms under the knees. felt good lol

Boys. I've been gone a long time... My wife was ill, I am back in the gym and back on here.
I'm not "on" but I'm working on my deadlift.

Fuckin right brother. That's a solid lift. You compete @ 198 ?what are you sitting at now?
I just switched to sumo and I feel like I can get a lot tighter...makes me feel safe

Thanks. My last meet was at 198lbs, but I'm planning on 220lbs later this year. I was 217lbs yesterday evening fully dressed, so I figure I'm waking up like 212ish.

I'm actually pulling conventional at the moment and doing sumo block pulls as deadlift assistance. I've been back and forth with it a few times and my coach wants me pulling conventional right now. They both have their advantages if you're able to pull comfortably either way.

Good luck on your road to 700 I'm sure you'll hit it soon brother.
I just cycled off about 9 weeks ago, I toned down my percentages and I'm focusing on my technique and I thought I'd take this time to nail down sumo and Come back stronger next time around.

Hit 675 for an easy single, then jumped to 725 because my training partner loaded the wrong weight and missed at my shins, dropped to 695 and got up to my thighs and gassed out.. I have a meet next weekend and 705-710 is my goal. We will see though!!
