here it is... in the lounge!!! of all places... guess that's where it shoudl be acutlaly.
ok, so- today i figured out that i was actually lifitng 255. and i also learned about those lil hooks on th end of the squat racks.
I did the 255 several times, so it is really not my max,,, but--- i am having grip issues.
Are you guys and gals using any grip aparatus for this challenge? you know like those gloves with hooks in them, or those wrist straps?

don't say that, or it will never heal up!
I plan on having the biggest progression; I have been dying to get this deadlift up. A friend and I are racing to 315.
George......Smokes US ALL......LOL......he is flat cooken it......
(see first post)
I meant progression though. Its easier to progress from 200etc to 300etc but its gonna be harder for george to get from the 500's into the 600's compared to mine.
He still lifts like a beast though.
Careful grandad, you'll be needing me to lift you in and out of your chair in a few years
Two days left to get in. Then this thread will close and you will not be one of the cool members of this forum.
updated. only 88 minutes to sign up.
I tihnk I have good form on deadlift only sometimes when it's a heavy weight I noticed the bar hits (and by hits i don't mean smashes into) my right knee on the way down, or rubs against my shin at the top, what am I doing wrong?
The challenge has started. I expect that everyone will reach their goal with ease and many will surpass it.
There will be a thread created soon for challenge members (only) to talk and discuss progress, technique, or whatever.

For everyone who maxed for this challenge, be sure to add your lifts to the Deadlift Chart. Especially ladies, theleip is the only one on there as of now.

So challenge ended yesterday. Please get those max pulls in by March 9th. Even if you didnt make 50lbs, you should post your numbers to see. Many of you were probably dieting down so any increase is good.
