Needsize, Congrats Bro, that is a great accomplishment for a man of any size... I wonder what you could do if you actually trained for a one rep max. I went to work out back today in my gym and i started to do some deads after seated rows and pull-ups. I started repping out 135 for warmup then 225 for 12 then 305 for ten by thast time I was seeing the flopaty things you see when you aren't breathing enough. I took a little break and came back and did 365 for 4 clean reps, I figure if you could push yourself that hard no use in babying myself. Should have seen the looks of the other members (school gym).... Thanks for motivation..

Good job suston. The other members were probably looking at you because they didn't know what a deadlift was, lol. I used to get looks in the gym from doing heavy deads. Some guy almost creamed his pants when I did 4 plates. I was like wtf is the matter with him? Not too may hardcore deadlifters/squatters at the gym when I went there(morning).

Tell me about it, for all i know they could of thought I was doing some weird kind of shrugs... That's the problem with college gyms everyone is doing curls and bench... All with bad form, and egoes everywhere trying to impress people they don't know. I mean c'mon wifebeaters and windpants with frosted hair all slicked back. It makes me sick, but it also motivates me in a perverse sort of way... I don't socialize, I am staring to find solace in the clanging of plates and the burn I feel when my body says no but i do one more anyways....

Haha, I love the description about the wifebeaters and frosted hair. LMAO PLenty of those guys in the gym I was going to and plenty of girls wearing too much makeup and not lifting weights. Like it's a social place to hang out or something.
Glad to be back in my home gym, my little dungeon in the basement. Chalk everywhere, heavy music cranking and none of those people described above to annoy me with their presence.

I wish, The gym is free and its there in between my classes so why not use it. Tday i just got out from lab too late. Me and my roomate look like we are going to salvation army to get clothes cause hal our shit is huge and ripped and frayed. We don't really car I lift in long sleeves and sweats or shorts with boots on... Always wearing a hat with glasses, like a little Nasser Sonbaty lol.... The only thing that bothers me is when people stared at you when you do compound movements like: Deads, Squats, Clean-and-Jerk, Bent over rows... Its like they have never seen those lifts before.... I guess ignorance is bliss.... But then agan I don't want bliss

B Fold, I already read the article, great stuff, I'm going to have to re-evaluate some of my form.
Suston, thanks, myself I generally don't go over 5 reps on the dead very often, but about a month ago, I did 3 sets of 5 on 500lbs, then dropped to 405lbs and did a set of 9 reps, I think it almost killed me, great work.
People's Champ, thanks, it's funny though, as soon as you hit a big goal like that, all of a sudden it's not good enough by far.

Deceiver:
Good job, that's a great start at 14.
Why are your legs so far apart, and why are you deadlifting in SOCKS? Also it looks like the belt is way up almost on your chest. That's still a hell of a lot more than I could do at 14 though.

I just read an article on testosterone.net that says sucking in your gut on compound lifts using your back (eg squats, deads) is what will make your spine more rigid. This allows your transversus Abdominis to increase Intra-Abdominal pressure. Check it out:
