Sport The Deadlift Challenge!!

[tonymcclellan]

Alright Lei and your huge log.

I'll do it, with my puny little legs, but a question first. I have never tried to figure out my max, but would it be equivalent to getting what I'm doing 10 reps at right now up 50lbs, or would that be way harder? I'm somewhat afraid to find out my max because I don't want to wreck my back with bad form.

Dont be afraid. Feel the power.

Sounds like too much fiber.

 

[LeiYunFat]

You can never have too much fiber! In fact, I need more fiber!

 

[happysj56]

I'll play....

My current max is 135. So plus 25 would be 160....

 

[goergen1]

Its 50lbs G, geesh.

Yea. But its like 5 months till march.

i think goergen is going to eat us all.

MMMMMMMMM...... People. The other white meat. :drooling1:

It's 50 lbs. So the goal weight is 185, although that is nothing if 135 is just something you rep with. If you use your 1 RM it would make it more challenging. And if you're new to lifting, your numbers are going to fly up in four months.

 

[Typhon]

Lei, I think Happysj is a girl, the ladies only need to up their max by 25lbs

 

[tonymcclellan]

Yes absolutely. Thanks for joining Happy.

 

[Karky]

I pull 357.5 so getting 407.5 by march should be very doable, unless I run into a plateau again 4 plates a side, here I come

 

[tonymcclellan]

Alright Karky. I am going to edit the first post to include all those who have signed up.

 

[Tom16]

Current- 225lbs Goal- 280lbs

 

[Phate89]

I'm emberassed to even post in here..
But yea, just bought more weights so my dead lift is 100lb now.
Pathetic I know..but hey gotta start somewhere right..

Yea Der, 230 is great.

 

[tonymcclellan]

So phate you're in at 100 with a goal of 150? Is 100 your max or what you lift for reps?

 

[Phate89]

I'm not sure. I bought 4 10lb weights so now I can try doing deadlifts at 100lbs, i'll train tommorow night and see how I could complete my reps and sets

 

[tonymcclellan]

This is for your 1 rep max.

That would actually be harder. Just test your max fat animal.

 

[Phate89]

This is for your 1 rep max.

It probably isn't but okay then

 

[spicypumpkin]

I want to try this, but I haven't tested my one rep max yet. I've been doing my reps at about 55-65 lbs. I know, it's pathetic.

I guess I have until the start of the challenge to determine my maximum.

 

[davidjr74]

Why not. The deadlift is easily the hardest lift to progress for me for reasons unknown. I have been stuck around 235 forever.

Starting Weight- 235
Goal Weight- 285

Wrestling season is coming around too but it won't be all that bad. We get to use the weight room also.
