Just thought I'd share my news with you guys....

I'm lifting 350 lb now with body weight about 155 lb, so I'm also a little bit jelous .
BTW, do you lift with straight or arched back (lower back especially)?
Most novices lift with arched back, wich gives extra ~20% weight but is VERY dangerous. Go straight !
BTW, I just squated 270 lb on eight times (deeper than paralel) without even a belt, but I cannot bechpress more than 170 lb - that's all that fucking genetics

my back was pretty straight. trust me, if my back was arched it would have pulled me either forward or straight back down. 405 can sling 160 around like its nothing.

hey you guys, is it just me that thinks trap-bar is easier?
I could do about 400 on trap bar, but it dropped significantly when i used bench bar. Does my form just suck, or is this normal?

sorry for the ignorance, but whats a trap bar

A trap bar is one that is designed in a diamond shape and the handles are to your side instead of out in front. It is easier I think...good variation.

Good job PD... I always say a small prayer before doing my first heavy set but I am pretty sure that God does not listen when deadlifts or atlas stones are involved

Ive never pushed myself to see what I can do. The most Ive ever done was 365 for 10 on the smith machine. I did press 500 for 10 yesterday on the leg press

I don't even wanna know what you be able to lift if you ever decide to move up some weight classes

 

[Arioch]

Good job.

Natural deadlifters secretly rule the universe, you know.
