Heheheh.. pounds - but i just started bro, only done em' once!
BUT it is highly likely that I am weaker than you.

What are you at? I plan on reeling you in

how come bro?

My strength tends to go down and my body can't seem to take the stress of heavy deads (or any full deads) for more than about 3 weeks. I get a lot more deadlift increase out of box squats, pull throughs, glute ham raises, reverse hypers, band ham curls, etc...than I do from doing deads all the time.

I try to do some sort of dead every week though...and there are tons of variations.
Speed deads
Partial Deads (tons of heights too)
Deads with bands
Dimel Deads
etc...

In the gym ive been lifting recently, im the only guy who does deads also. I had to find a friend who knew who how to do them to show me. They really work me hard, I didn't start doing them until recently, before i thought squats really worked me out but after a set of deads i need to sit down.

You could probably count on your hand how many guys deadlift at any gym. I promise you though, those guys are gonna be the strongest, biggest, most hardcore guys at the gym.
