600# Dead

[Thaibox]

Its always been my goal to pull 600#. After whining and crying about pulling 585 right before my back surgery, learning that I'll need 2 more surgeries, being all depressed and saying "I'm never going to hit 600 now," I read Rich S's thread on weighing plates, so I did today.

There's 2 kinds of plates at my gym, one weighs 45 and the other weighs 47. hehe....heres the good part...

When I pulled 585, I used 1 45# plate and 5 of the 47's(because they're shorter) and that adds 20 damn pounds to my lift, so I pulled 605

Not quite as satisfying as if I knew I was pulling it during the lift, but I did it nonetheless.

Just had to share a happy with you guys


hehe

Wahey!! Nice work.

So I guess that means you've been lifting slightly bigger numbers in a lot of exercises?

 

[danielson]

yeah! how much does your bench go up? squat?

 

[jeremys]

cool!

 

[Citruscide]

haha... that's fabtabulous... I wonder if I am actually pulling more weight now??? HMM....

C-ditty

Nice work TB. That's a huge lift!!!!

 

[Rich_S]

Nice job.

On another note, I'm seriously thinking about drilling holes in my plates to get them down to 45.

Good lift bro. Thats just plain awesome. What brand of plates are the 47's. Are they metric?

 

[WarriorPL]

That's HUGE. Great work!

 

[PolishHammer1977]

I was going to post a PR thread about doing 305 for four reps. Now I feel small and puny.

Thanks a lot jerkwad.

Thanks guys

danielson, I usually use the 45's for lifts not from the floor, so I don't think there was a change in anything else.

Argent, the 47's are thick Ivankos

Yeah, but I only did my pull once man. 305# 4x is 1220. More than twice what I did.

Anyway, I can't even pull the bar now, and I'll probably not get over 135 for a year or 2. So, you've got me whooped

Wait, so even the Ivanko's aren't accurate? I thought the whole purpose of paying 3 times as much for Ivankos was that they are accurate to within a few grams?

I finally remembered to check these plates. They are called " American Classic" not Ivankos, sorry about that. There's a few Ivankos there, but I haven't weighed them.
