My deadlift video, as promised, 500lbs for 9 reps

[casavant]

Thats still pretty damn good, best I've done for a single is 600lbs with no belt or straps, singles make me nervous, so you're not far behind, awesome job!

Thanks dude. I used straps because they won't let me chalk up in there. When I was working out in Gold's, I'd regularly pull 500 x 5 and I once did 525 for three, all with chalk. Without chalk, my hands sweat way too much.

I hear you about single making you nervous. I don't like to stand there and look at the stacks of plates too much or I'll psych myself out.

My gym has outlawed chalk as well but I just hide it under my towel and dont make a mess, no one has said a word yet.

I hate you ya bastard. I'm hoping I can almost match that with this cycle but it'll be tough. What you weighing in at nowadays? Everyone's gonna train without me I see. Assholes. No, no i don't want to hear it. i never liked you guys anyways. These tears aren't because of you guys just so you know, they're because I stubbed my toe so fuck off.

I'm probably going to start doing that as well. I'm real good about cleaning up after myself anyway. I always make sure I grab the can of lysol and wipe the blood off the bar when I'm done. There were even some little flesh chunks stuck in the knurling today.

[robsatx]

That was great!

Thanks for the pump up!

 

[casavant]

Haha, thanks, it's also easier for me as I'm a lot shorter than you, plus, I'm sure you can kick my ass....

How tall are you?

DeadLift?

Maby I am wrong , but arent you supposed to let the weight 'DEAD" after each rep , instead of a "tap-n-go"... hence the name DEADLIFT? I was under the impression that the weight was to come to a complete rest on the floor after each rep.
And no I can not do nearly that much weight reguardless of the method, just curious as to the correct form???

 

[casavant]

You can do it either way.
