The 2024 Deadlift Big Plates for Reps Challenge

[JonS]

435lb for a single, 1/18.

 

[watchnerd]

how heavy should the weight be for the bench?

Same as your DL.

Don't want to get my butt too big and look like Kim K.

I thought 2.5x bodyweight was the StrongFirst standard for DL?

Silly goose, my coach picks all my metric lifts. anything over 32kg might as well be make believe weight.

260 for 3 sets of 5 today. The Party will not be pleased about my stepping over the bar.

1/20/24; 3 x 260 x 5, 3rd set.

I accidentally lifted 230kg today, so that rounds down to five plates, right?

It's also the most I've ever lifted out cold. Good times, happy I'm still up to it, both in capability and foolishness.

220 is 5 blues on each side plus the bar (10 x 20 kg = 200 kg), 225 if you use competition style clamps. Nice lifting!

It was 230kg on the bar. Can't remember the plates exactly. I suppose the plastic collars weigh 300g a piece so 230,6!

Thanks!

Nothing super crazy but I did an amrap at the end of my 5x5 training. I got 320x10.

Pretty killer set. Looks like many RIR.

so in order to lift 500 lbs you just need to lift it cold? has @silveraw heard that

Yes, no warmup, specific or nonspecific. Just walk up to the bar to demonstrate the proper setup and start position, and then find out you're standing with the bar in your hands, even if you specifically didn't mean to.

I think it must be some kind of pavlovian conditioning, it was just an unconscious movement.

@Philippe Geoffrion thank you! Felt good!

Locking out way too far. You only need a slight tilt back.

But that's...cheating. I mean...ROM is too short

Did 5x145 for the 315 category 1/23/24.

180 was slowly slipping from my hands, so I won't count it a rep here. Also the weight is missing small plates. Lift off(?) has gotten much better so I'm quite confident to get to 405 category too.
