I'm about the same size as you (180 lbs; 31 y/o though) and just hit 140 kilos last week. No straps, no belt. prettey stoked.

People think I'm crazy for liking deadlifts. They're bad for your back ya know.

 

[Ramcononer]

Not bad if you do em right.......I think they make my back stronger.

Deadlifting is my FAV excercise.

Recently hit 423 @ 190 lbs. At 20yrs old. Im chasing 500lbs right now =]

Im also doing a nice 5x5 program, where by the end it has me deadlifting 425 x 5, and thats after 4 other DL sets. SO im hoping, to have a 450+ MAX. THEN, bulking season comes around. =]

RAM! GOOD JOB hitting your new PR! Go blast another one for us.. =]

Make sure to work on, Lockouts, and Pull Throughs, with the band to strenghten that lower back. so you can lockout easier =]

Congrats. Pull and be merry.

yeah i weigh 220 and i just pulled 510. 400 will come. i did alot of rack pulls to get my dl to go up. i am currently trying to cut down to 190 myself. hopefully i don't lose any strength

 

[Ramcononer]

Im up to 345 as of yesterday but for one only....Very excited...a couple months I should hit my goal

i was at 205 and pulled 585 this summer...just keep working hard and it'll come. what's your BF % like and diet?

 

[Ramcononer]

im at about 14% last time I got checked..dont know now its probably the same or lower...diet is fairly clean But im not perfect...I try to keep my protein up...I eat alot of fish cuz I go fishing alot ..no soda ever no other beverage actually except water...maybe a gaotroade everyonce in awhile...protein shakes too...but I am not goin crazy with the diet...I actually can't afford to eat how Id like too.. But I do better than the average american...I train 5 or 6 days a week. my bf is very specific I guess I can say...Lower chest and lower abs is my prblem area...at the end of summer Im gonna start a cutter and try to hit 10%bf...

Congrats on the deadlift. I love deadlifting also. I'm just getting ready to push my deadlifts again after focusing on the bench for the summer. I normally deadlift 315 for 5 reps at 5'10" and 150#.

Im currently on the 5x5 plan. Deadlifting every Weds. 10lbs added about each weds. Do alot of deadlift work such as pullthroughs, pull off the mats, lockouts, etc.

My sqaut i think has the best turnover with my deads, i sqauted 405 w/ suit the other day. So i can prob get like 370 w/o it.

Congrats on the lift. Figure out what tends to be your weakness on deads and tackle that and your dead will shoot up fast. Mine was my grip. After some grip training now it is no problem. Good luck.
