Old Forum How strong and well-conditioned is Sinister?

[Physical Culture]

Matt,   I just started incorporating a few deadlift singles at the end of my training sessions.  I have not deadlifted in a while, and settled on 225, because that feels like about a 70% effort.  I can pass simple swings and getups.  I think you are right- I could definitely pull 315.  No way I could pull 405 again.  I did once, years ago, after three dedicated PTTP cycles, when I was 20 pounds heavier.

Do you think a sinister swinger could probably pull 405?

Matt--you know what, that sounds about right. Again, maybe not for everyone... but for most people who have equal skill in move movements. I like it.
