There would need to be a fair amount of gear and time involved to go from a 300 deadlift up to 350.
As an example, an elite lifter on this very site made the transition to untested competition in the last year or so and has added about 30kg to his max pull i believe. Is a 370 drug free better than a juice plus 400?


Of course a juice free 370 is better than 400, if both are similar body weight.

^^ Adam, i enjoy how you say that as if it should be obvious to everyone, despite the fact that clearly everyone doesnt share your opinion on the matter.

The problem with knowing 10 guys in your area who pull 300, they might be the only 10 guys or a large proportion and if its a lifting gym, not that surprising. I don't think you can scale it up and say London, with 10% of the countries population and a certain amount bigger than smaller city, is going to have, lets say 200, 300kg+ pullers if we assume there are 2,000 total.

It's just my opinion. Both lifts are seriously impressive, but a 370 natural pull to powerlifting standards is insane.

Not that 400 juiced isn't. Of course it's elite.

The Isle of Man has a population of 85,000, which is about 1/750th of the UK.

I'm fairly sure we have zero 300kg pullers. One guy has done 290kg.

300kg is decent but a 105-120 lifter should probably be doing it after 5 or so years of training these days. In the gym I train at there are 3 who can do 300 out of a town of around 50000. there are probably 20-30 (maybe more in Edinburgh?). extrapolate that there are around 2000-4000 in the UK. how fecking accurate that is I dont know

I think that suits, hitching, straps, baby oil and so on makes it seem like 300kgs is more common than it really is.

But also thats probably the IPF c**t in me thats talking.

I wonder how many true drug free 800lb deadlifters there are in the world. Cant be more than 10.

In my block of flats I think there's around 0 people who can pull 300!

Multiplying this to account for an average within the population, I don't think there's any.

i think what people see in gyms is the only metric that has any statistical merit (albeit low as unless you spent significant time analysing all members deadlifts you are still making huge assumptions) - I cannot believe there is anyone capable of pulling 300kg who hasn't weight trained.

Does my strapped and hitched pull not count? Unhappy

Edit: not even 800 my bad

There were just 10 300kg+ deadlifts at the GBPF Vlassic and 5 at the GBPF unequipped this year.

This suggests to me that a 300kg+ pull, from a tested lifter at least, is fairly uncommon.

I think we all accept that a 300kg pull from a tested lifter in competition is fairly uncommon.

That wasn't the question, though.

I don't believe there are that many untested lifters (there are certainly very few competing), so the number of tested ones who can do it surely is a big factor?

If it's not a competition lift, whether powerlifting or strongman, surely it's a bit meaningless. A bit like saying how many sub 10.4 100m runners are there and claiming all the footballers & rugby players could do it.
