The 500lb Deadlift Video

Well it finally happened today. For those of you who don't follow my log, I started the linear 5x5 workout 5 weeks ago. I started deadlifting two weeks before that and my goal was a 500lb deadlift. So today on week 7 I pulled it.

Thanks to Mike for the good competition.

Now to the video:

Lockout was slow....oh and you form Nazis keep in mind this was a true maximal effort and my working weight form is much crisper.

I followed up with 405x5 (PR by 15lbs). I'll post that video later.

Here it is:

The form is off due to the fact that this is post 500 and I am tired. I know I shouldn't set the weight down like that but it was tough to think and I usually don't do that.

Comments please!!

Wow man, thats great.
What weight are u @?
Using gear?
Used gear b4?
Amazing vid.
Age?

Lol sorry 4 asking so much, just want to put it in context.

Don't worry about your form. You know what good form is.
Just be proud that you got it.

Good job!

Be afraid...be very afraid....I think you are going to explode w/ growth soon. That is a sick lift for anyone, much less a guy your weight. S I C K O!

Great lift, dude. Looks like I was right to make you the favorite in the bookie event.

congrats on the PR big man. its now time to set the bar higher, and shoot for 525...

I weigh probably around 186 and I am not and have not used gear. Oh and I am 23.

Shades great lift. It was solid and the form was fine....actually, I thought the form was better and the lift looked easier than the 485 last week. Great stuff and congrats. Also, lol, you need to go to your profile and change your location to "strapping in for the first 5 minutes of my vids".....seriously though awesome work.

Thanks T. I'll tell you what. I am done with 1RM deadlifting for a while. I am going to let myself develop through 5 repping for a while. 525 is next!
