I don't know what to say. Congrats to both of you *******s haha. Thats absolutely sick and makes me really motivated to get mine to move.

Just ridiculous. I helped your brother do his first deadlifts... and now this! haha.

Thanks man, I probably wouldn't have even started deadlifting (or powerlifting for that matter) if you hadn't shown my brother and I how to train properly. I was looking at your journal and its given me motivation to get my squats and bench up.

So then, ill just count that as me deadlifting 500 lbs. Basically the same thing.

Sweet pulls, guys!! That's impressive.

Nice gym too.

[evilxxx]

Nice pulling! the set up of both of you is identical! who copied who??? hhaha:strong:

Sick pulls guys. 500 is a huge number, congrats. What kind of training program or set up did you use to go from 275-500 in just 9 months? That is some ridiculous progress man.

thanks man ! Are you still training at the sports complex gym? We usually go there in the afternoon/evening.

thanks ! To be honest, we max out every week on deads for about 3-4 weeks in a row, and then we switch to rack pulls for a couple weeks and repeat the cycle. Ive had the best results alternating between these two lifts.

Either the sports complex or MPT. I'm usually there Tuesday and Thursday around 5:30 and usually early afternoon on Saturday. It's tough to tell from the videos, but I think I recognize you guys.

Thats an interesting approach. But hey whatever works. I may give that a try down the road.

Cool, I think I know who you are, not 100% tho. I might have spotted you for bench, and told you to drop the bar a little quicker or something....

yea its a different approach, but I never do more than 3 reps for heavy deads. Singles work really well. next week we are goin for 505 ! haha.

I spent all of first semester at mon petite. I usually trained alone and needed a lot of spots on bench. Might know you too haha.

[Cmanuel]

great pulls! i hit this in January, certainly a big milestone. Now... 550 by summer's end!

[danmac]

I have probably watched these videos 40 times now.

Max deadlift day next week, screw the plan. I'm setting a new PR.

Congrats on the PR for you and your brother. Both my brothers lift but just light, wish I could deadlift with them.

hey sick pulling. what was your exact split if you don't mind me asking: you were about my standard when you started so what worked for you could work for me too if you get what I'm saying - cheers

also hows your squatting?

Yeah, I remember that. That was definitely me. I'll make sure to say hi next time I'm in there. My real name is Nate.

Could be. I was at MPT a lot while the bus strike was on. I was the guy that always hogging the squat rack.

thanks man. Deadlifts are at the beginning of the week so i am well rested from the weekend. Like I said before, we always max until progress starts to slow, then switch to rack pulls for a little break. Usually work up to a 3-5RM on racks, sometimes 1RM.

Bench: currently i am on the chris mason bench routine, but i usually bench twice a week, once heavy, the other for high reps.

Squat: I like doing a heavy 3x3 for squats.

My best squat so far is 385, but i havent been pushing them at all lately, because I'm focusing on deads. I want to post a vid of 405 shortly.
