Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25597 posts Administrator	well done mate, as your into a bit of strongman, i guess the form comes second to getting the weight up, either way 240 is a tremendous deadlift mate, hows that squat coming along ?

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7174 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205 497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator	Well done mate, and no offence intended at all (because I know you're training for strongman) but personally I wouldn't count a lift like that as a proper PB.

the Ergbreaker Member 19, 862 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 260 590.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq	Thanks guys! Rob - for me a deadlift is about getting the weight from A to B. I shouldn't have dipped my knees under (hard to stop yourself doing that sometimes!) but as far as I can see it wasn't hitched Jonathan

the Ergbreaker Member 19, 862 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 260 590.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq	Exactly Joni - 12.5kg is a fair chunk! Bear in mind that there are two deadlift tyre events in Fraserburgh (farmers walks but with multiple pickups, and the van hold) so I think you need prioritise deads just for that reason. I'll still beat you to 250kg though!

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	i think i am ok with the farmers pickups, the 120kg pickup is not too bad (though 130kg pickups are brutal!). That van deadlift, who the fk even knows how much it weighs?!?!? Anyhow, lockout strength is my game, equalled Olly on rack pulls doing 5x250 and i take equalling olly in pulling events as a compliment! ...now if i could just pull that bas*d off the floor...

the Ergbreaker Member 19, 862 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 260 590.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq	Given your physiology, pulling off the floor should be your strength. You have the big legs that you need to explode off the floor - put them to good use man! I have noticed platform deads from time to time in your log - have you any plans to do them again? Jonathan

I feel the same way about it as I do about ultra-wide squats like Vogelpohl's recent one - it's very impressive in its way, but it's not a squat. Didn't know they weren't allowed in strongman. Good.
