Deadlift Compared To Body Weight

**Pirate!** · 12-02-2005, 08:15 AM

I'm not a powerlifter or bodybuilder, but I have one strength goal: to deadlift 2.25 times my weight. So, I'm curious to see what you can deadlift for one rep relative to your weight. For those mathmatically challenged, divide your one rep max deadlift weight by your bodyweight. Ex: If a 250 man can deadlift 500 lbs, he can lift 2.0 times his weight. Remember, honesty is a virtue.

**CowPimp** · 12-02-2005, 10:56 AM

My best deadlift was 407 at a bodyweight of 185. That comes out to an even 2.2 ratio.

The Monkey Man · 12-02-2005, 11:15 AM

590 @ 222ish = 2.66

**P-funk** · 12-02-2005, 11:23 AM

I don't deadlift anymore but I have pulled over 2.5 many times. I was always working for a 3x's BW deadlift until I stopped doing it.

WantItBad · 12-02-2005, 12:26 PM

wiegh some where around 210 did 405x6 today so idunno

PWGriffin · 12-02-2005, 12:34 PM

I was relatively new to deadlifts when I did 315 for 6...@180-190ish

My back is kinda fucked up right now though so more deadlifts or squats...

i've been slacking lately, i'll give you that, but i'm going through some emotional problems which are just compounded when i don't lift so it's like fat bastard said in Austin Powers "i eat because i'm depressed and i'm depressed because i eat" or some shit like that.

i was teaching my friends how to squat/DL and i pulled 365 double over like nothing

**P-funk** · 12-02-2005, 01:22 PM

weightlifting is a great way to release emotional distress.

I'd like to know who voted 3.1 or above. That's freakin' awesome if it's true. I'm just at 2.1 right now. I've got a long way to go...

Squaggleboggin · 12-02-2005, 02:51 PM

I recently got a litte over 2 and it felt great. Three would be awesome. Does anyone know what the record is?

970 lbs. Not sure how much he weighs, though. http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...eadlift+record (New World Record)

Squaggleboggin · 12-02-2005, 04:07 PM

I meant the record for the ratio of BW to lift actually.

**CowPimp** · 12-02-2005, 05:07 PM

I don't know about the record, but there are a couple of guys who train at Westside who deadlift 4x their bodyweight. Doug Heath pulled 540 at a bodyweight of 132.3.

Triple Threat · 12-02-2005, 06:27 PM

Currently 470 @ 225, 2.1.
Best ever (about 2 years ago) was 500 @ 225, 2.2

Trying to hit 2.5, maybe I should lose some weight.

	"Strength is the product of struggle" "Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen.
