After pulling 300 last week for a new PR, I was motivated by NewLife's observation that 315 (i.e. 3 big plates per side) was in sight. So I tried it today, and got it - real slow, but got it and locked it out.
I will turn 43 on Monday, and so far I do not believe I have seen any diminished capacities.
Congratulations!! I hope I can pull that much when I turn 43!

I know 43's not "old", but for some reason it sounds old to me today. I need to cheer up!!
It's way more than I pull and I'm 24. How's that for cheering up??? Congrats man, great lift!

Don't know how I missed this one, but wanted to chime in. Great Job Bud! Thats a badass weight to be moving. It's rare enough to see people deadlifting, and very rare to see 6 plates go up. I'm so happy for you. Wasn't it a great feeling?
Just think how cool 4 plates on each side would look (HINT HINT) It's only 2 more plates....
I'm pissed that I am 5lbs away from adding 2 more plates. Small plates are like pennies...they suck!
315 Deadlift today!
It's only 2 more plates....
