Wow you're deadlifting 57 pounds?

Now you can go back and fix your typo, but not in this quote....

275 x 10 (With hooks)
275 x 8 (With hooks)
275 x 6 (With hooks)

I'll probably do another week of volume before trying my next milestone...315... aka the 6 train wheel lift...

Judging by that 275x10, you have 315 for reps. I bet you could even get 350+ right now.

It's hard to do arithmetic when you aren't counting by 45's.

Thanks for the props George....

Gonna give the 315 a go on March 3. 350 seems a little out of touch at the moment...Being relatively new to the lift, I'm gonna take it week by week. I definitely want to get 315 for reps before I make my assault on the 350...

I would like to join this challenge. Deads are my favorite lift. Currently I am doing this:

165 x 12 (warmup)
195 x 10
225 x 8
235 x 6

I've never actually attempted anything more than 235#. I actually have no idea what my max is on this lift. Probably something around 275#-285#? I'm gonna try for more next time. 4 months ago I could only lift 165#.

A: Welcome to the challenge.

B: 285# sounds about right given the 6x235#

I'm in for this one as well.

I don't have my journal in front of me but i think my last DL day had me at 250 for 3 sets of 10. I'm not sure what the 1RM translates into from that but i think i can at least pull 300-325 for 1.

I'm going to increase my repping amount over the next couple weeks and then go for a 1RM after that. I just got back into Traditional DL's after a 6-8 mos hiatus from them.

Week 3 of Coan-Phillipi today...

1x2x280
6x3x230 (90-120 sec rest between sets)

I was intimidated by trying a double at 280 today because that was the most weight I've tried since I did a triple at 275 back in September, but it went up very easily. I had to restrain myself from loading on more weight right away and trying to break my old 1-RM of 285.

I did the sets of 230 with the minimum amount of rest between them (90 sec). I used the standard grip for the first 2 or 3 sets and then finished with the mixed grip.

I'm very excited now for next week's workout where I'll get to start breaking totally new ground.

woah, I thought you said you cleaned 210# for a sec there.

gazareth · Tue, February 26th, 2008, 08:21 AM

I tried and failed 160kg (350) on Friday. That's the 4th time I've missed it. My strength from the floor needs some work, so I'm going to include speed deads, good mornings and pulls from a deficit in my next strength cycle (I'm coming up to the end of a cut).

beginner84 · Tue, February 26th, 2008, 12:40 PM

youll do it one day ! and so will i somewhen eventually

woodan · Tue, February 26th, 2008, 01:31 PM

What's the average RDL to Deadlift ratio?

Pulled 250# x 5 on Sunday. First time I tried more than 235#. It would be cool to get to 350# by the end of the year. Not sure if that is too lofty?

You should get the 350# much sooner than end of year, unless you are a very light person.

Agree with Zen....
I started getting serious about deadlifts for the first time in the fall.
I pulled 205 for the first time before Christmas. I'm trying 315 for the first time on Monday...

You will get to 350 in a matter of months...

I'm finishing up a cut and then plan to maintain. I'm at 182lbs down from 205lbs on Oct 1, 2007. Thanks for the encouragement. I started Deadlifting in December 2007. I think I'll stay around 175lbs to 180lbs.

beginner84 · Fri, February 29th, 2008, 06:51 AM

ill try for 3x8 @ 97.5kg today lets see if i get it up
