Not like a suit helps much in the deadlift.

Thats insane. The top deadlift should be atleast 1200, with those kind of benches.

One of the reasons I'm passively opposed to bench shirts. The deadlift seems to be pretty much the one "true" lift left in the meets.
Debaser said:
What are you talking about???
The lift is a lift, all people are allowed to use the shirt. Noone has the advantage over the others, so it is fine.
I do agree that most of the reason the bench is so high up with the deadlift is cause of the shirts.
Let's not make this into another shirts are bad thread please.

Anyone know the raw record?

Bro, do you think a deadlift suit helps much on conventional style, or just with sumo? My friend pulls sumo and says he gets a lot from his suit.

they can. i have three freinds who seem to pull very well in the old marathon deadlift suits, which are no longer made. the carrover imo is nowhere near what one could get from a squat suit or bench shirt. its pretty hard to get anything out of gear in the deadlift imo becuase its a strictly concentric movement. i think you could get alot of support from a suit, and thats why your freind gets alot from pulling sumo in a suit.

Did I say that anybody had an advantage over anyone else? No. I just think that the lifts should be a true measure of a man's pure strength, and ONLY this, rather than his ability to use equipment to add over 100 lbs. The deadlift is, in this sense, the "purest" lift in a sense. I'm not trying to start a "shirts are bad" thread at all, just offering my opinion.

There are raw competitions, and there are equiped competitions. Its just two different things. If equipment is allowed by rules, and you are competing against other people, then why not use it? Me personally will never use equipment besides a belt and wrist wraps, because I love pure strength... but for others if a shirt will add 200 lbs, and they are allowed to use it.. then why not?

I agree. I guess I wish that raw lifting would be in the spotlight more often. I can't remember seeing any raw benching records posted here, yet I see every 15 lb PR in the shirted bench posted multiple times.

Hasn't the max deadlift been stagnant for 10 years or maybe more? I remember reading about this huge beast of a man - looked like a lumberjack with a huge beard - deadlifting over 900 a long time ago. I can't remember his name.

Gary Heisey had the record for a while I think. Now Bolton and Frank are right there.

I was thinking of Doyle Kenady - first man to deadlift 900 pounds. He pulled 903lbs in '86. He died in 1999.

That is an awesome pic Mike. Thanks for posting that. That guy doesn't look like someone I'd want to mess with, lol.

Proof again that, what kills you, will make you stronger.

PLUSA had a good tribute to Doyle Kennedy way back. BTW I don't remember the last time I tried a raw max bench. Reason is I train to compete and that ain't a lift last I remember. You don't see sprinters posting 'no shoes/on concrete pr's or swimmers with pr's with no swim bodysuit or with hair pr's. Every sport has equipment, even belts are better now, equipment gets better and so does the competitor. The reason deadlifting records are slow to come by is because it takes balls- REAL BALLS to fucking pull 9+ and society today has no BALLS! Hell you can't even spank your kids now, let alone make them deadlift. Everyone should be issued a gun and a script for test PERIOD.

Please don't compare power equipment in other sports to that of powerlifting. Shoes are a necessity a bench shirt is not. Shoes won't take off 3 seconds from a 100m sprint whereas as shirt can add 100lb+. For the most part I have no problem with people using them because they're allowed and everyone does it. However I think it's a joke when people say it doesn't add that much or say it's just like wearing football pads etc.

Last I checked I can run without shoes, and last I checked whenever I ran on a rubber track- I ran about a .5 second faster than that of what I ran on a black top track. That is alot in 100m. Ok what about archery? Ever see the bows they use? What about rifle's? They have barrels that are cryo'ed now for accuracy, that's when they freeze them and even tune the harmonics. Ever hear of restricter plates? Turns out their cars were To FAST. But I forgot how powerlifters have overused gear, besides have you ever seen Gene R the 900lb bencher? I have and there is a reason he is #1= he is big and strong as hell. AND I'll go back to my old stand by, if you want to we can both deadlift with just a singlet and a belt- NO Wraps or suits and I bet I'll still out pull you.

Well, actually there's a pretty high risk of tearing a pec when your raw bench gets into the 600-700 range, so it is a necessity because of safety.

An interesting point.
That's also why I don't linger too long with my knees bent when I pull. I try to get something out of the stretch reflex. I bend down, grip, and rip.
