Deadlift Reached A New High.

[corvette33]

I've only been deadlifting for around a year. Whenever I started a year ago I could barely do 225lbs. I'm 23 years old, 5'11" 186lbs. I got 495lbs for 2 reps today at the gym, I do use wrist straps though. My sets went:

225lbs For 10 Reps
315lbs For 10 Reps
405lbs For 10 Reps
455lbs For 6 Reps
475lbs For 3 Reps
495lbs For 2 Reps
425lbs For 5 Reps
335lbs For 10 Reps

I have always pyramided up and then come back down, this has worked really great for me. I'm on week 4 of 375mgs of Deca & 500mgs of Test Cyp. In hindsight I should have thrown a 2 1/2 on each side to get a nice even 500lbs but oh well. I feel great!

That is impressive at your weight bro. Keep it up!

Deadlifts are one exercise that I will never skip. I never see anyone do them at my gym either. Guys joke around when they see me going really heavy and say things like "you can have that" and "you're going to pick that up?" Works really well for shock value when I silence the nay-sayers. I don't use a weight belt either...should I use one?

 

[ItalianMuscle27]

I wish I could do them..I had to cut them out of workouts along with squats because of my back.

do you guys prefer stiff-dead lifts or roman?

I really like those oval deadlift bars you can stand in. They feel so much better, plus you can do more weight and your knees can bend more.
