New Deadlift PR!!! Woo-Hoo!!

[casavant]

i also think the no belt idea is very good. i have changed my mind on this issue lately. billy mimnaugh, who is a 775 puller, has been telling me for ages to drop my belt.

keep up the good work!

I've never liked belts, especially for deads. I figure I'm trying to work my back so why the hell would I want to put a support around it?

Well done! 400lbs - I am jealous, my max dead is less than 200

Congrat's on your PR.
What so you mean "off blocks"?

Well Congrats. It was good to train with you guys on Saturday. I hope to train again soon.

Well, now the bad news. The 1750 total is not elite. 1824 at 220. But the good news is you are close!!

By the way, are you sore from those pulls on Sat? My back is still hurting. For anyone who wants to know, we did speed pulls on a jumpstretch platform with blues. The only way to get the lift was to pull FAST!!! We only worked up to 315, and it wasn't good

Ok, the worse news...

It's 1875 at 220.

Well the news just gets worse with each post. Please kill this thread before it takes 2000 to get to Elite.

Damn. Well that is way out of reach for the forseable future. Maybe sometime in 2004, maybe. But pretty tough to forsee even then.

Elite is pretty tough to get to for someone not built to pull.

Let's see, 1875 breaks down to a 700 squat (No freaking way!!!) Plus a 550 bench (doable, and soon) leaving a 625 deadlift. Not on your life.

Not happening anytime soon to this boy, sadly. Well, thank goodness they have bench only meets. I guess I am going to have to leave the 3 lifts to the real men and women on the board, and stick with my gimmic lift.

Such is life, I suppose.

And bigokie, no, I am not sore. But I was not stretching the bands nearly as far as you, either.
