Awesome work brother! 500 is what I'm gunning for.

Don't hesitate to use some chalk though bro, it's good for your hands and in no way is it cheating or anything.

Train for strength brother, that is the best way to measure your progress, the stronger you get, the more muscle you will have. 800 is sick, based on the fact you already hit the big 5 I don't doubt you will hit it later on down the road!

definately..im much more about form now a days...mind muscle connection...but yea 500 isnt shit atleast to me...im happy as fuck i got it but 500 in the world of bodybuilding or powerlifting isnt shit..once i reach 800 ill be REALLY happy...then just aim for 1,000 pounds hahaha.

Good form is very important, just always make sure to consistently add weight on the bar. That along with the eating and rest is what is going to make you that freak in the future!

congrats on hitting the big 5 brother. 800 is sick but definitely doable with your hardcore attitude.

no belt...nah bro im a bodybuilder...but i think of deadlifting as my power lifting routine...i just enjoy trying to hit high numbers with that lift...and of course squatting..they both go hand in hand...my routine for deadlifting is just start off light and see what i can work my way up to that day...i set deadlifting aside for saturday so i can try and hit decent numbers...i also train forearms and calves on that day.

thanks bro...under over grip....when using that i feel u dont ever need straps or gloves and yes i would use chalk but i dont think my gym allows it....my grip has gotten strong as fuck from never using gloves or straps.

I remember the first time I got 500.. about halfway up I felt like I was gonna puke.. then I got it all the way up, locked it out, and got the biggest pump in my back that I had in a long time. It was incredible!! Thats awesome man! Its definately a milestone many people will never reach.

Did you use a hex bar or a straight bar? I tend to be able to DL a ton more w/ the hex bar... just wondering.

nah bro straight bar always.

hey me too.. I thought that was strange cause I have a buddy who can deadlift more on straight bar than hex bar. My max on straight bar is around 575.. but on hex bar I have gotten 620.

I max ~600lbs w/ oly bar, but w. hex bar, ~685 to 700lbs.... strange... maybe because the design of the bar allows for more leg movement...

Great stuff bro! I pulled 425lbs @ 196lbs. I'm @ 210lbs now and have not tried to pull a big single in a while....... This thread makes me want to yank a big number off the floor hahaha. I'll report back in Mon with the results! Later brotha.
