Ross,
I'm sure you won't answer this but how much have you pulled before?
I don't deadlift. I could count the number of times that I've deadlifted on my hands. I can definitely pick 400 pounds up from the floor however. No doubt about that. I don't know how much I could deadlift however in terms of max. I've never trained for it specifically. Maybe someday, we'll see.
Ross
This whole debate is getting more interesting by the minute.
Ross, you say you can Deadlift 400 pounds. That is about 180kg.
You can Deadlift 180kg.
No disrespect but I will pay money to see video footage of this. You can bill my credit card. My offer is $100- American.
... he put up this video:
And then posted this message

And please note, I don't want your money. Go donate it to charity or a local community center gym.
I love it. That 405 went up so easily! I thought right there that he could do more, then he just keeps going up. Too fun. Ross is just amazing.

I actually had the same thing happen to me, some troll told me I couldn't deadlift what I claimed for even 1 rep, so I got a vid of me doing 4 and put it up for him. Trolls are fun.
I don't get it. What's the big deal about deadlifting 405? That's not exactly impressive. I'm not saying that as a slight against Ross. I like Ross. I'm just saying that against Dr. Boots. The guy must be some major douche or ridiculously weak to think a guy in Ross's shape would have trouble doing such a weight.

I thought the same thing chiron, but didnt want to say anything. I cant believe an adult, in good shape got called on a 400lbs deadlfit. The second time I ever pulled I got 400, its not some huge feat of strength for most people in shape and that train.

The guy was actually railing on the thought of someone doing a 130kg DL, but then someone threw out 180kgs as not even that big a deal and he became incredulous and threw out the $100 bet.

Ya. The first time I ever did a deadlift I could do 405. I could do more if it wasn't for my lousy grip. It's not a big weight. So if that dude had any clue about how much Ross trains you'd think he'd realize Ross shouldnt have any trouble pulling that kind of weight. The guy is in really good shape. But I guess this is one of the true cases where an idiot deserved to be separated from his money. lol
