Chuffing hell! Can you at least pretend it was hard? Or that you used performance enhancing crane apparatus?
Anyway I'm back on NROL S2 next week, so I'm sure I'll make up the nesecary deficeit inside the next 4 weeks!

Maybe if I keep working I can pull 355 like you...

I'm trying to increase by 50 in the next 4 months for my New Year's resolution.

Thought you guys might appreciate a few *first* trap bar DL PRs from three of my baseball guys:
1. Senior Catcher pulled 405 easy at 203 - he's headed to play for Holy Cross next year (probably had 440 in him)
2. Sophomore shortstop pulled 405 at 188 - he batted .900 in AAU ball and is already getting looks from several major D1 colleges down south (probably had 425 in him)
3. Senior pitcher pulled 305 at 6-1, 160 - he's headed to Maine on a full-ride.
#1 and #2 started with me the second week in September, and #3 picked it up in early October (and has missed several sessions due to sickness - one of the reasons he's so light).
Question : dunno if it's new as I have no desire to struggle through 12 pages, isn't there a ladies' version here? I mean.. it's not fair to have everyone in just 1 list as women generally aren't as strong.
Since the DL is my favourite compound exercise as I'm not too bad here, why not have a women's list too?
Or is it impossible to see the difference? Would some men impersonate as women just to get higher on the list?
Anyways.. my PR on the DL is 1x102,5 kg or 2x100 kg. Weight on that day was 65kg .
Goal: 2x BW, but I'm trying to lean out to approx. 63 kg and preferrably 60kg, so that'd be 120-125 kg. Should be feasible by Dec 2007, no?
Makes for 225 lbs vs 143 lbs = 1.57 as a coefficient.
Goal: 275 lbs.
Espi: I understand where you're coming from on the woman's chart... but honestly we don't have that many women reporting numbers, and besides, look who is #8 on the Coefficient list : Patricia. And Jenn (Iamjennmedic) has 16 guys below her on the list. I think they're good to go!
Edchap: the trap-bar definitely allows for more weight than a conventional-bar deadlift. I'm assuming Eric is using it with his athletes because it's safer for those new to heavier lifting.
