130 kg x 5 (with straps), after ramping three previous sets at 90, 100, and 115.
I've been going up 5-10 kgs every week or so and would like to get up to 200 kg, but that's a ways off and I'm starting to slow down a bit. I'm focusing more on bodyweight pull-ups for lat development, so I do those first, which probably affects my strength for DL's a bit (which come right after). Either way, I don't really care how high or low my numbers are, as I'm doing it mostly for health, fun (yeah, fun), and appearance. That said, numbers ARE important to me, not to compare with others, but to compare with my past numbers. That's why I love bb'ing so much, is to compare myself now with my past. I've logged every exercise of every workout for the last year and a half now, and it kicks ass to look back and see how far I've come. I could give a rat's ass about the dude next to me doing those retarded bouncy forearm benchpresses with 100 kgs.... |

You hate powerlifters and Olympic lifters? |
Don't be stupid. I can tell from your post you aren't. I will assume you know what I mean and obviously didn't mean a sport. |

| Last weekend, I saw some guy at a pub power down 8 Irish car bombs in under an hour. He was huge. |

I don't know about deadlifts but I am decent in the clean & jerk. I'm at a disadvantage in absolute terms, I'm 62 kg in bodyweight 
Speaking of weightlifting, Goyang City is the host for the 2009 World Weightlifting Championships. Don't miss it! |

When I was in grade 12 in Canada, I was 135 pounds. I could deadlift (pick up and put down) almost 400 lbs. It's a farmboy thing.
In mexico in 2000 I hurt my back doing calf raises at well over a thousand lbs. I don't know how much exactly cause I maxed out the machine, and had these little mexican guys draped over it for weight.
I'm 105 kilos now. I can lift my son, wife, groceries, all three of our bicycles, and carry them up one flight. Then my wife performs CPR and all is good again.
Enjoy what you have now. It's really easy to take it for granted, but when it's gone, it's gone for good. |

No shit. In my second year here I worked with a huge roided out dude who was pretty damned strong lift-wise. I also worked with some former farmboy who was a flabby 170 pound beer guzzler. That dude arm-wrestled roid boy's ass to the ground every single time.
(I realize arm wrestling is a completely different animal from deadlifting, but just sayin'...) |
