Video of me deadlifting 600 without a belt
Well, just what the title says. I pulled 600 in conventional style with nothing but hand chalk. I had a bit more in me as well.

Chris, I know you're wife is on the left side lifting it, I can't believe you tried to pull this

The gyrations are just my way of mentally preparing for the lift. It is a bit comical I admit.

A bit comical???
Nice lift, Chris. But I really think you should take it easy for awhile so you don't aggrevate your back.

I'm surprised at how high your hips are when you start the lift. Seems like it's all back, and very little leg drive. Is this how most people do their deadlifts? For some reason, I'd imagine your hips starting lower, so you could use more leg drive, but then again, I don't deadlift.
"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

That is a common misconeption in the deadlift. The muscles that deadlift big weights are: Hamstrings, Back, and Hips. Not your quads. I think Chris had a very good stance.

Deadlift style is very individual. Some people use much more leg drive and other much more lower back.

I really don't see how you could ever use more leg than back on deadlift. Using your back is simply more efficient. Originally Posted by chris mason

LMAO, I cracked up when I read that. Couldnt help but laugh @ that one. Originally Posted by staggard

Put you in a powerlifting suit & keep your back straight I'd be willing to bet you'd break 700. From previous pics I've seen you have one hell of a back on ya. Good job on the lift even though I didnt get to see it.Southern Pride !

Well, I don't think I would be busting 700 as of quite yet, but who knows? I have never tried a deadlift suit, it might help me quite a bit.
In any event, I don't think it is quite as extreme as is being represented here.
You need to have QuickTime in order to watch the video. That may be your problem J.
