I was able to get 400 on Monday. 20 more lbs to go. September was the first time i had done a deadlift, so I have had pretty fast gains so far. I am going to try 420 at the end of the month. With my current pace I should be able to get it by then.

Awsome Drex! Just started deadlifting and already lifting 400!

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by this, but no. I sit in front of a computer all day writing code.

I grew up working on the neighbors farm from age 13-20, which had me in very good shape. I then spent the next 9 or so years in front of a computer with no workout.

Cheerleaders are usually freakishly strong and they dont usually lift weights.

OK Where I grew up gymnastics and cheerleading were girls activities and a comment like that would have been taken as an insult. I didn't think think is how it was meant though.

Where I grew up it was the same. Our school didnt have male cheerleaders so its not like there were any to defend the term.

Cheerleaders have and continue to have a feminine connotation...but gymnasts get cooler everyday

Tony, I'm ready to join the DLC. I did my first dls today. Did 305 twice, so let's set a goal of 350.

Yeah, because I like his sig

I've been doing Snatch grip deadlifts for the last 3 weeks, but they seem to be helping with the regular dl's as well. I did singles today and am up to 269 lbs (22 lb increase). I also tried 280, but could only barely get it off the floor.

I vote against it.

g8r80 - pick your battles wisely. this one has set me back a few times already.....

plus your new swim routine is already incorporating a ton of new muscle combinations.

p.s. 305 first try!!!! WOW!! you are already as strong as an ox. good grief godzilla!!

1rm up another 10 lbs to 280. 17 lbs to go (247---->297 lbs)

Deadlifted my old Max of 235, 4 times today
