whats your deadlift max?

[Powerbuilder333]

Thanks Alcatraz. I was just uploading my latest deadlift video.
On Nov 17th I set a new PR in competition.
694.2 pounds. I tried 711.8 but it stalled at the knees.
Now I can turn it down a notch for some R & R.

I agree, hell of a lift. I'm pulling just over 500lbs but my problem is grip strength. I hate to use straps but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

You've probably already tried chalk, but if not that can really help!
If you're training for developement (instead of single rep competition) and are going for reps, there is nothing wrong with using straps and a double overhand grip. You might try the strapless overhand grip for as many warm up sets as you can. That really helped establish my grip in my early years of training.

Powerbuilder is right chalk makes a big diff.

Im damn near close to 500 with just chalk. No belt or straps either. Hardest thing is being tall with long legs, feels like the bar takes forever to get up above my knees.

UPDATE...
one month ago i did my first DL competition...
...suprised my self... as my previous best was 465 @ 145ish... over a year ago...
...i cut some weight to make the 148 class... open men group...
...i opened with 407... easy pull...
...second lift... 440... no problem... the adrenaline rush of being there is unlike anything else ive ever experienced...
...third lift... 479.5 and it went up smooth...
...the WABDL CA state record is 512.5... so being within 35 pounds you get a 4th attempt ....
513.5 on the bar.... well i didnt get it... but i had it off the floor and about half way up and then i lost... grip... ...damn it...



won weight class (148)...
and "best male deadlifter: open men"
