pullinbig said:ther are a lot of guys who cant pull 315 raw, much less under strict meet conditions.
At my old gym where I actually saw guys deadlift, they would pull 245 regularly.

plz don't pick on me, what did I ever do to you?pullinbig said:ther are a lot of guys who cant pull 315 raw, much less under strict meet conditions.

ok-yea; raw basically means zero assistance; only chalk and a belt. but i dont wear a belt b/c i dont like them. i've never been able to wear one and feel comfortable; i think it's b/c i'm kind of short-waisted. a belt constricts my ribcage too much. i'm going to have to start wearing one though now that i'm pulling big #'s like PullinBig himself lol...
yea, there is no "start" command; it's just a "down" after you lock out at the top. no dropping; you have to set it down reasonably controlled. but i threw 315 back down on the floor like it called my mama a bad name
PB i would love to see those pix of me; i didnt have anyone there for me at the meet to take pix. so i would love to have some. i bet i look like a mean-ass troll lol...my deadlift face ain't pretty![]()
blackbeard said:hey Peebs talk to me about the Rehband knee sleeves..ive got an old bum knee the NEVER bothers me when i squat but when i pull it will bother me for the next day or so..im not sure if its weak quads (since i squat wide) or what but i was thinking of using some knee sleeves for pulling
ohh btw hows the denim suit??
deadbeatrec said:WOW PB, 700LB DEADLIFT!!! u need to come to albany , there is a place called albany strength, they had a meet sat oct 1st. i missed it but im sure there were the usuals there such as sean cullen who squats 800 and deads 800. there is also a guy in albany , ben white, who benches 711. both have monster lifts.
MINX, wow thats fucking awesome girl. not only are u gorgeous, but u bodybuild and powerlift. much respect.
pullinbig said:i started wearing them in training 5 or 6 weeks ago. i was surprised how much the hepled. they kinda like a loose wrap. keep my knees warm and gives a little support. they dont interfere with my dead at all. i been squatting in them as well and they do help.
and kkdd suits and shirts suit my style of lifting the best. easy on, easy off and hit hard as a brick. plus the suit is adjustable. loose straps for deads so i can get down and crank um down for squats. that suit is prolly 3 years old and its been altereded a few times. if you get a chance to use one try it and see if you like it. very sim to canvas but with just a bit of stretch. i like the support of tight poly but i cant stand struggling to get properly fitted poly on. i tried on a metal squat suit the other week and it took 30 minutes just to get it on my ass and thats with straps down. i was gonna pull in it but after i got it on i couldnt reach the bar. =0l
i guess im kinda old school in my lifting. i like loose knee wraps and comforatable gear. kyle on te other hand likes being all bound up. makes him feel better. the way i wrap his knees would bring tears to most men's faces.
blackbeard said:might have to get me some of those Rehbands
what Metal suit you try on? i may put some velcro on mine or i may just get a dead suit or just squat and bench LOL
shaved_head_in_baghdad said:Great job, both of you!!! Where was the lift at? in NC? Hopefully I can catch a meet when I get back from Muslimville.
pullinbig said:i know sean and have seen videos of ben. sean used to be a shw but droped down to the 275s. and ben is a benching machine. raw or equipped. heres a clip from a couple of years ago with him hittingh 505 for a set of 9.

deadbeatrec said:hey do u know Art? he is the big guy spotting ben in that video. he used to be a teacher at my school, and he is good friends with my brother in law. i have lifted at albany strength like 3 or 4 times. awesome place for power lifters but not bodybuilders. pullinbig u should come to albany and lift at albany strength sometime, i know me and DougoeFre5h would come lift with u .
