[frayedends]

Well, looks like I'll hold the record for weakest dead on this thread:

255x6

Re: 445 for moi

power cleans have helped. i think the explosive/ballistic nature of the clean has a positive carryover to maxing on deadlift. of course im a fat slob at 5-10, 200 pds. would love to get 500 at 185.

So true about power cleans. That and good mornings have helped my dead tremendously!

550 in a meet and 580 in the gym. WAY weaker than that now, probably at 455-480.

365 for 20 was the hardest dead set I ever did though - lower back screaming!

I just started deads again, but Ive been doing them with a trap bar instead of the straight bar. Thats just how I learned them back in the day..

How are they comparable to the straight bar dead? I think its about time to start trying those out as well...

20 reps for deads, especially at 365. That is brutal man. Very impressive.

Any feedback on trap bar deadlifts?

I love trap bar deadlifts because you can keep bar closer to their body.

Others like olympic bar deadlifts

TO each their own

My best is 680x2, no belt.

Aw man! That's the best kind! You're bitching about knurling...and I pay extra for it.

I think the one he's describing is my favorite bar...it's a bit smaller than the others there and it has better threads on it. I break the rules and swap out the bars for that one every chance I get.

Yeah, I got my rosin bag at Sport Chalet today...I never used one when I played softball...it's nice and compact, but I'll wait to open it until I get in the gym. Looking forward to testing it out!
