Deadlift PR...

[ghettostudmuffin]

Well I did my Madcow2, 7th week, 3x3 day today and then the powerlifters at the gym had to give me shit so I pulled a conventional 405 deadlift. Not bad for around 7 months of training and only my second max attempt. They still were giving me shit about not pulling as much as some 150lbs girl did after 3 months of training, but whatever. I'll be pulling +450 in another 6 months or so.

 

[Madcow2]

Congrats on the lift. DLs are more fun over 405 as with 4 plates or more per side, you can sit on the bar between sets. I like the "thinker" posture myself - Rodin if I remember.

150 lb chick deadlifting 405??? c'mon- I belong to a hardcore bodybuilding gym & have never seen that.

Props on your PR & I think your friends were just playin ya!

Awesome lift!

madcow's humour is in fine fettle today.

 

[musketeer]

I was deading 4 plates at 17 years old, 6'0" and 175lbs

 

[blut wump]

I started deadlifting when I was 47, 6'2'', 265lbs what's your point?

 

[d3track]

great lift
4 plates is gettin up there

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

Ya, I've only been back in training for 7 months and as far as effective training, this is the first time I have used dual-factor programs, understood periodization and not trained to failure.

I fully expect by Christmass 2005 to deadlift 450 or more.


Btw, what were you benching at 17 years old, 6'0", 175lbs?

 

[needsize]

good stuff, 4 plates is a big milestone

 

[mayhems]

anyways once again good job

 

[super_rice]

[H_T_]

[ghettostudmuffin]

There's no way I'm doing videos at my gym. Not gonna happen. If I had a home gym I would.

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

The first time I deadlifted 4 plates my head was spinning. Not just from excertion, but from elation. A wave of victorious satisfaction swept through me, I couldn't believe that I'd beaten 405 pounds!

Today I did back and deaded 455 for 8, feet close and grip out wide.

When I was 17 I did not bench press because by then I had worked out that it was an unproductive exercise for a bodybuilder with my bone structure. Flat bench barbell presses just didn't work my chest as wells as incline/decline/dumbell - I could however lift 85lb dumbells for 8 deep reps on an incline bench.

Did not mean to take the glint off of your latest PR (congratulations in fact!), but don't get carried away with all of the compliments, that 7 foot bar can hold another eight 45's yet!

4 plate deads are fun, I like to watch the bar bend.

I've got to pull you up on this wtbb,

you havn't run into me in the gym and you havn't asked me for a spot in the gym so don't assume that I'm some idiot and then call me one. I don't bullshit about my workouts, cycles, appearence, diet, etc and I reciprocate the same expectations to you. If you dont think that it is reasonable that I can deadlift 550lbs, then how the HELL am I supposed to believe your 800, 600, 600lb testament.

I've congradulated the gettostud and sent the relative karma; just felt like I was doing him more of a favour letting him know he's stil got a long way to go rather than jumping on the bandwagon. As for whether I should post on this thread or not, I'm a PLATINUM MEMBER who's been around for 3 times as long as you and I have a right to express my opinions within the rules of the board. If gettostud and you have a right to post totals then so do I.

I've been reading your posts for a year and you're obviously a cool bro, just don't get out of shape with me over nothing.

 

[JoBu]

Bodybuilders are weak compared to powerlifters. Don't underestimate PL'ers...lb for lb they'll make you look like a 12yo girl.

150 lb chick deadlifting 405??? c'mon- I belong to a hardcore bodybuilding gym & have never seen that.

Props on your PR & I think your friends were just playin ya!

your first post seem to be rather negative..
the man set a PR.. i dont care who you are at some point in your life 225 was a PR...

you maqy have given karma to ghetto but none of your poosts on this thread seemed liked you were congratulating him at all..

As far as my lifts if you read it says "working on" ive also posted video of me benching 500..ive been higher and i havent even hit my max yet..my dead sucks right now but im fixing it..and my squat is my best lift 800 will fall relatively soon..ill make sure to get you some video

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

Ok you guys. That's enough bickering. It's all good.

musketeer, my head isn't too big with the deadlift. To be honest I didn't even want to max then, but the damn powerlifters started giving me shit about my workouts and my 5x5 routine and basically challenged me like I was weak or something so I pulled the 405. One of the guys told me he didn't think I was gonna get it until it went up nice. I know what you mean though. I'm not even that psyched about it really because I know it's just a stepping stone to a higher weight. I know a year from today I'll pull 500 or more so the 405 is just cool, but I'm not elated about it.

It'll be the same when I bench 315. I'll be happy, but I'll be looking forward to 405 and then my ultimate goal of 500 raw.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

 

[musketeer]

Cool.

My first post was out of character and I hoped that I had rectified it with the second, where I explained honestly how much my first 405 dl made me feel.

I'll do a search for your bench video, w2bb. I'll bet its worth me seeing it. My bench sucks...

STAY STRONG IRON BROTHERS!

 

[blut wump]

I don't spread enough karma to give it out as I'd like.

GhettoStudMuffin, it looks like the 2x per week variation of the intensity phase of the madcow program really agrees with you. It's great to hit a pr like you have when the situation lets you think about making the lift rather than being scared of the weight. You then step back and realise you've blown your old pr into the weeds.
