I'd like to congratulate my clients Tom and Pete the Fireman on some heavy trap bar deadlifts this past Monday.
Tom pulled a 20-point PR of 555 pounds.
Pete pulled 505 pounds, which is his first 500+ deadlift, and is also well clear of 3x his bodyweight of around 160. Last time he tried to pull a new PR he got 455 but couldn't even move 475.
As if they need it, I just sent them the link to this article by Mike Robertson. It's got five useful tips for deadlifting.
Getting stronger, fitter, and healthier by sticking to the basics. It's not rocket science, it's doing the simple stuff the right way. Strength-Basics updates every Monday, plus extra posts during the week.
