475 is as far as I made it on the DL...fucked my back up going for 495, got it off the ground though.

Haven't been back to really heavy deads since then, moved onto to other things.
 
Considering I hurt myself on the last couple reps of 155 today......No.
 
I got 405 one time and have not been able to do a repeat.
500,I don't think I'll ever get that in my lifetime
 
Only 315, like an idiot I stopped.
The only reason I stoppped is because my partner who helped me get to that wieght (he taught me) left to another gym and for some reason I always need someone to tell me I am doing it right.
I have poor mechanics when it comes to deads.
Lee is no help in this department, I can have a turd on my forehead and she won't tell me till after I made a fool of myself. She's evil.

At least you had someone to do that for you. I know my form on deadlifts is pretty poor, but I have no one to check up on it for me.

I may actually go back to Dax Baker in the city (shameless plug) like once a month after I graduate to work on some things like that. It's really in the bottom portion of the lift that I hurt myself which is quad dominant, so I can probably just do rack pulls or RDLs and get the benefits I'm looking for.
 
I've pulled 675 on a regular basis...on pace to pull 700 or better by july in my next meet in the 242lb weight class raw.

or at least thats' the plan! HAHA
 
just over 300lbs for me - Double bass you seem to have a fascination with the numbers here?
 
315, but my goal is 405 - not sure why.
 
back day is tomoro, ill try a heavy dead and report back!

I think he is just curious about his fellow IM-ers.

Actually, I think someone else suggested to him that he make this thread.

Trust me, not everyone knows the proper way to do such a simple exercise let alone tell you if your doing it right.
This is one exercise I don't want to use bad form.
If only my gym had a mirror that I could see on all angles....side angle to be exact.
 
1RM before injury was 300lbs.

Now i cant even hold the correct form for a regular dead in the hole :(

Ah I see - fair enough! :)
 
No doubt - just curious as to where DB was coming from.
 
I dont much like anything heavier than 5 reps or so, but I can pull it. My SLDL is very close to my regular dead.
 
tried a heavy dead yesturday. started out at 400lbs and nailed it. just about got it up, grip almost failed, didnt have any straps with me. could definatley add about another 50lbs to that weight if i had straps, but i couldnt do 500lbs yet
 
Not quite. Most I've done to date is 475. I feel like the next time I go back to trying to put on some weight, I could get to 500. I'm in a caloric deficit right now, so 500 would be tough for the next month.

I can lift in that fashion because I have trained for it. It is technique.

Thank you.

Nice job on the lift but again you must be tired of people telling you about your rounded back....as long as you don't get hurt.,..
 
I did notice the rounded back, but then thought, he must know it and has accounted for it by training or such. Nice lift. Haven't maxed out for some time...pretty much do Romanian Deads primarily, doing 415 3x8. 500 regular dead?? Maybe I guess, hope so.
 
Well, it may be ironic to admit, but I did hurt my back recently, but for a very different reason. I was using 695 lbs and simply had prolonged a heavy cycle of lifting longer than I should have. I knew better and did not heed the warning signs.

My style of deadlifting relative to my back position is really quite safe. In fact, it is a style advocated by one of the greatest deadlifters of all time, Bob Peoples.
