For people that like lifting, what's the most you have done on a deadlift?

Just done 171kg for 1 rep and currently feeling great

190kg was my max before I was forced to take an extended period off. Back up to 180 and aiming for 200 early next year

Before I got injured I max’s at 183.5 on the straight bar, and 240 in the trap cage.

I’ve undone all my hard work with poor choices and a loss of mojo. So I’ll be starting almost from scratch.

The first one is always the hardest but the numbers will fly up when you get back into it.

I’ve gotta go cardio heavy first. I’m fat again and have high blood pressure. Gotta deal with that before I start lifting again.

I feel you. I’ve put on about a stone and finally got back to the gym this week. I was expecting to hate it but I feel 100x better about myself getting it done.

Best was 250kg conventional for 4

Nowadays I stick to RDLs / SLDLs for bodybuilding stuff. Mix up barbell, dumbell and also get great use from shrug machines as they can be excellent for DLing

Paper Town Central, Essex.

Regularly do 150+kg in my job. Shouldn't, I know, as I don't use a weight belt or strapping.

Whilst at college, I managed 182 kg for 5 reps, but that was a long, long time ago.

It's mainly technique. Good technique will get you another 20kg (or a sack of potatoes in old money).

Ps, I'm a 57 year old bloke. Come on you whippersnappers.

I picked up a cable drum with 180kg on its label once.

I think it was a dead lift as I was planning on taking it up some stairs but I couldn’t move and had to put it back down. I don’t see the label til I put it down. Drums that size are usually manageable.

Lots of women have huge amounts of muscle mass in the bum, thighs and calf’s , more than a lot of guys.

My youngest daughter is tiny, but so strong, when she was about 14, she could do deep squats while piggybacking me and I was 95K. Within a couple of weeks of training at 19, she could dead lift 140K

If I was able to deadlift.....

The 1RM calcs say if I deadlifted 100kg, it's only "novice" level. An "elite" lift for my age and bodyweight would be 179kg apparently!

My 1RM for incline bench is 47kg which apparently puts me at "intermediate". I'll take it

Put up some strange feats of strength though, he did a chin up with 50kg attached first time ever trying a weighted chin up! 80kg standing overhead press 100kg bench and he repped 60kg on a barbell curl, perfect form yet his arm are like 14.5 inches max! Like it makes no sense, Btw the 220kg deadlift he wasnt at failure he just said thats enough, the whole gym stopped as they know he dont lift! Ive tried to get him to train properly but he says he doesnt wanna get big ???????

Exactly... its all perspective I suppose. If you lift in a leisure centre or commercial gym it would be pretty rare, but in an Oly or powerlifting focused facility not so much

"As an Olympic lifter, I'm always interested in other peoples lifts.

Impressed at folks close to 200kg DL. What their messages are missing is their bodyweight so you can see what % over BW they're lifting.

Stay strong friends.

I think I was 89kg when I did 190 so just over 2x bodyweight.

Somewhere

At 108.8kg bodyweight in competition 302.5kg deadlift, 300kg squat, 197.5kg bench.

I've competed at a higher bodyweight and totalled less.

At 94.2kg I've competed in bench only competition and did 180kg.

Now broken and don't lift that heavy.

Never tested my 1 rep max. But I'm currently lifting my bodyweight plus 15% for 8 rep sets.

Everyone post their Wilks score

Can't, because I can't squat or deadlift anymore. Only bench. Is there a revised version for disabled people?!

285kg for 1, was chasing after 300kg but stopped strongman Febuary of this year and moved back to bodybuilding style of training so the reps are much more controlled with the weight much lower.

Mostly machine work now as I do 1 set to complete failure.

I’m not bothered about the numbers these days. I don’t lift heavy for sure. As long as people are lifting that’s the win to be fair.

Well done everyone

How would that work in a wheelchair though? Or is there a machine you can sit in? My wheelchair has a maximum weight rate of 120kg, so any total weight I put through it (including me), I need to be careful because I don't want to break my suspension.

This is us now. Mrs competed in a few CrossFit and powerlifting competitions, very proud moments for me to see her especially when she won but the wear and tear on the body and risk of injury not worth it for us now. Now we actually do a lot more isolation exercises rather than just concentrating on the big compound lifts.

Yeah unless you're a powerlifter don't see the reason to constantly try and beat your one rep max. Regardless if its compound exercises or isolation the most important thing is strict form. Breaking form or doing cheat reps is a sure way to injury! But nothing builds muscle like the squat, bench and deadlift. I'm sure you've heard of the 20 rep squat workout? That combined with lots of calories puts on bulk quickly, only recommended for 6 weeks. Think I have only managed 4 before my body said no more!

Love doing deadlifts. Probably one of the best exercises you can do.

When I (mr) was younger I done the German volume training workout. More recently followed the nsuns programme before started getting too many injuries. I still do light squats but only deadlift with a trap bar now.

I'm much the same, my body is wrecked! Back surgery, neck surgery. Decided against knee surgery and just put up with the slight pain. Most of it was wrestling but having a body came with the job so it was under a lot of pressure

Sounds like a lot of people have picked up injuries, lifting to heavy or over doing it.

The comps I’ve seen, you sit on a bench and the barbell is under you. I’m not sure if you’d be strapped down the the bench for support like the bench press though

Currently on 100kg for 6 reps / 3 sets.

Slowly building up, but probably not pushing hard enough. I get aerobically fatigued more than I max out on the lift.

160kg was my max. I don't think I could go higher, I have metal plates in my arm from a severe fracture dislocation which don't allow it to straighten fully and 160 felt on the edge of something going wrong. Hurt for a week after. My goal was always 180 but oh well.

Lucy Underdown, I think she may well get very close to 350kg deadlift one day, rate of progression on her lifts has been insane.
