how much do you deadlift

[needsize]

Just hit a personal best of 3 sets 5 reps on 530lbs, no belt or straps, should be able to single over 600lbs now, just haven't gotten around to it

Does not wearing a belt make the DL much harder? I always wear one b/c I just feel more comfortable. I thought it would serve more of a mental support then a physical one, but I see a lot of you pull without one. Is that more beneficial?

I think initially you pull more with one, but once your stabilizer muscles have a chance to catch up it seems the same, at least to me. I've also been doing it without a belt for 3-4 years now

A belt, used properly, will increase the amount of weight that you can pull...but I am constantly training my weakest link...

When contest day comes around...you better believe I'll wear my belt and straps if they allow it.

Fuck!, some of you guys lift heavy!

I hit 405x6 today and thought I was doing pretty good. Allthough,I've never tried any heavier.

315 singles weighing 160. My stupid grip gives out. I won't succumb to the straps. No juice.
