Your heaviest deadlifts?

[Sebass67]

Hey Big Country...

I remember doing sets of 20 in the summer...
I got up to doing 340 for 20..

When i finished my head felt like it was going to explode....

405 for 12 reps on deadlift...wow...that's pretty damn good..

Hopefully i will be able to do that soon enough.

Gotta take my time though

Have a bummed Knee...
Oh well

Check out this thread for some good exercises for increasing your grip strength.

Get a thick bar!!! You can get some cold rolled steel or just steel tubing and have a collar welded on them. You need one that is 1.9", that is standard for tubing but you can get 2" cold rolled though. Try deadlifting with it. I believe that 620 is the record right now at the deadlift with a 2" bar.

Haven't done deads in quite a while. But when I was doing them,
I pulled 202.5kg for 10 reps and 230kg for 5 reps. I used straps but no belt. I weighed 97.5kg at the time.
