Ripped up a 600lb deadlift today!!!!

[needsize]

Okay, I'll be honest, I didn't rip it up, I had to just about kill myself to get it to lockout, but it did go. This was without a belt or straps (just chalk), and I'm not on any gear right now either. Although I hurt now, I'm pretty happy as I'm not a powerlifter and almost never go for single maxes. My weight today was 216lbs.
I got some guy at the gym to snap a picture of it, I'll post it as soon as I get the film developed.

Damn!! Nice pull. Wasn't that long ago you had just pulled 575, right? That kicks ass.

Thanks, it was maybe 3-4 months ago when I hit the 575. At the time I was only deadlifting 500lbs for 5's, this past week I hit 535lbs for a set of 5 so I figured I had it in me. I think I'm a few inches shorter right now though.

YAWN..... 600lbs Is that all??








Just fucking around, great job Bro!

 

[needsize]

Thanks guys. The problem was since I never do max singles, it took me forever to actually go from the floor to lockout. The time under tension with 600lbs in my hands was 10-15 seconds, so my back is feeling a little compressed right now.

Damn dude, that is serious weight, CONGRATS! I seriously need to start working my dead again. I've been stuck in the 400's for ages.
