    Deadlift Compared To Body Weight

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Heh, fair enough. There was another guy on the list that pulled 5xx at a bodyweight of 114. There were also several guys in the 3.5-4 range that I know are taller than that.

    That's just crazy talk! I can't believe a human being can actually lift more than five times his bodyweight in his hands. Of course, I'm sure that wasn't raw (or perhaps natural for that matter) but it's still amazing.
