Good job needsize--you are one of the reasons I deadlift now. Thinking of going for 405 one of these days-not bad for a 160# natty bber right? All those plates just look cool!
no straps is a given in my book but belt is very impressive. So many people dependent on thos things, nice lift and nice gain needsize. World record in the 220s is 859 by the legendary Coan, hard to imagine that, eh?

I don't like depending on anything but myself, and my gains have been much better ever since I swore off everything but chalk. 859 eh, christ, if I ever do manage to pull that sort of weight safe bet I'll weight a boat load more than 220. But what the hell, I like to set my sights high....
Right on both counts, they have a tendancy to roll to the flat spot when you set the bar down, doing 500+lbs for reps with the bar doing that is an adventure I don't really enjoy. That's what happens when your club caters to yuppies
