Im honored, give me a year from now and youll have your 700 picture john
there was a pro photographer at the contest and he got an even better picture of me straining on the lift. My mom paid $20 for it and its at the entrance of her house haha.
It's been way too long since I posted a PR, from my first PL meet on Saturday(see my log):
11lb PR
215kg @ 81.10kg (474lbs @ 179lbs)
2.65 x BW
Mixed Grip, Chalk, Talc, Suit(31 HardCore) & Belt
Felt so good on the day I think I would have been good for 2-3 I'll be doing doubles with that weight in training in my next training cycle As always, I'm sure I have way more in me, and proving it is just around the corner!

My goal is to get the coefficient to 2.0 by the end of the year. Which would be pulling 380 @ 190lbs.

Sweeeettt, that means you're doing the squat chart too right?

Where did you read that? I'm not on the squat chart so it's not that important.
*IF* I get enough time, sure, I'll take a crack at the squat chart. It's a holiday weekend and I'm not terribly busy right now. We'll see how the DL chart goes.

I just started to deadlift and decided to try a max pull today. I now know what a missed pull feels like. I wish I could say it was the grip, but my grip was solid. The glutes just failed.
Anyway, I pulled 385 @ 225 (1.7). I missed on 405. I'd like to pull 455by my 48th birthday.
I did a max pull today (as part of "Packing Day" in Cressey's Maximum Strength book) and set a PR...
400 @ 180 (2.22)
It went up easier than I expected, especially after attempting max lifts in the box squat, bench, and chin-up (3RM). I think I had some more left in the tank, but I decided not to press my luck.
I think my goal for the next max pull (16 weeks from now) will be 450.
241kg @ 81.75kg (531lbs @ 180lbs)
2.95 x BW
Mixed Grip, Chalk, Talc, Suit(32 Fusion) & Belt
National sub junior record(under 18's)
Closing in on triple bodyweight! Really didn't expect to deadlift this much, this one took me by surprise!!! The suit is a borrowed suit from a 100kg(220lb lifter) lol

Fantastic, Simon. Sorry I missed this post. That's a weight that is well beyond me at my age, I fear.

Of all the lifts, I think the deadlift is the one that is least affected by age, there seems to be many older lifters still deadlifting big weights, but not so much in the squat and bench. I do believe that squat and bench press numbers are hard to keep up though.
