Deadlift increases?

[Andalite]

Hold on here....he never said he only used rack pulls. He said he added rack pulls to his routine. Rack pulls and other forms of the deadlift are used by most of the best pullers in the world. That said, his claim is still bullshit unless he is kk himself.

This is what he said:

Start doing rack pulls bro. Deadlift was decent then started doing rack pulls and now i can pull 935 off the floor raw.

I dunno but it didn't seem to me like he was saying "Add rackpulls to your training". It seemed more like "rackpulls will save you so start doing them".

In any case....saying 935 was ridiculous if he didn't expect to get called out on that!

That wouldn't be him because his advice is BS. There is one thing which I pride myself on and that is following really good Deadlifters. And not just guys who have high numbers like KK but old time pullers like Bob Gaynor who DL'ed 672 lbs at 67 years old just a few weeks ago.

And the one thing all these good pullers have in common is that they pull often, the pull heavy and they use the deadlift as their main lift to improve the deadlift. They don't just rely on its variants.

Given that the guy above mentioned doing only rack pulls to improve his deadlift, I highly doubt it is KK.

I was being sarcastic...

Not to hijack this thread, but you do know of the Andy Bolton Challenge, right? There are some strongmen involved, and while I do know what some can do, I am not sure I have ever seen or heard of Pounstone pulling over 900 without straps of a hitch (the rules of the event, and they want to get people in who can do over 900 in a PL setting).

Do you know of any time he has, or of a video of him doing it?

Yes ofcourse I know about the Bolton challenge...too bad KK has opted out of that. I can tell you though that records are going to be shattered and history will be made.

Regarding Poundstone: no. I have never heard of any such lift. I know he has 800 but that too was with a sort of hitch. I think that has been something his critics have most called him out for: hitching. I don't remember seeing a video of him doing a 900 pull without straps or anything.

I didn't think Poundstone did it either - although we have no real confirmation he hasn't.

Exactly. At the meet we'll find out...

Awesome claim. Do you have any vids? 935 is quite a big number to throw around given that there are BARELY a handful that can do such a huge pull. Sorry to sound assholish, but 935 is quite a stretch.

Bro, i live on tulsa ok, anytime u want to come down would love to show u 935 deadlift.

Have a lot of people that talk a lot of shit.

What do you expect bro? A 940 pound DL Raw is world record weight. When an anonymous poster comes along and makes ridiculous claims, regular members might be a bit skeptical.

Btw, if you post a video of yourself pulling 900+ pounds raw with some sort of proof, ie a piece of paper with your EF user name, I'll give you 10,000,000 karma.

recently I read on another site that actually nobody could get hold of him to ask him, so andy bolton is going to contact and invite him personally.

even though 900+ seems very far fetched, he has been consistent with this information.
