Even tried 112.5 but since it took so much out of my back, I put the bb back after just 5cm, since I knew that form was off. I'd rather focus on improving technique in the next 3months and then try again.
BTW, it was the first time I used a belt for DL. No straps used (they hinder me, instead of helping, as grip is even worse with straps)
The effort was done like this
50x6
60x6 (was supposed to be x5)
70x4
80x3
90x1
100x1
110x1
and then 112.5xF
Someone mentioned this thread in my log so I just had to play with weights today to see what my max might be. Last dead workout (NR4W), I did 3 x 8 x 175#.
Did some lighter warmups, then:
1 x 185#
1 x 205#
1 x 225#
1 x 230#
Went kerploop after that.

That was fun! Bodyweight today was 204#.
Holy crap. Good lifting.

After some egging on, I did another attempt tonight.
1 x 225#
1 x 230#
1 x 245# -- failed
1 x 240#
1 x 250# -- failed 1 x 245#
1 x 250# -- failed
Not the most intelligent progression but I made the 245#. Bodyweight today was at 199#. No gloves, belt, or anything but me and a mixed grip, as always.
Two days ago, I did my first multiple-rep DL with a weight of over 100kg.
Workout was not an attempt to do a max lift, just wanted to see if I could do 105 kg for reps in a double wave
50x5
70x5
80x4
1st wave
90x4
95x3
100x2
2nd wave
95x4
100 (3RM)x3
then I put on a belt and got :
105 (1RM)x3
Without a belt I may have gotten just 1 or perhaps 2 reps. Never thought using a belt would make such a difference. More actually than straps, which invariably made me feel weaker instead (making things thicker = far worse grip than without straps).
Supposedly the 105x3 should predict a 1RM of nearly 117kg. Considering that 110 is my current 1RM I might try to get 115kg next month or try to do 2-3 reps for 107.5 kg instead. Haven't decided yet which one of the 2.
BW at time of attempt: 63.3 kg, making coeff for 105 = 1.66.
My grattitude to you and all the others who have been here for me supporting me on this journey. This board has been an amazing personal trainer. I think I still have a long way to go but am quite happy with the progress as of today.
I am new here but I thought I would put my 2 cents in. I dont lift this heavy all the time.. usually keep it around 205 for about 9 for my last set. But I do like to see just how heavy I can go sometimes. My PB thus far is 225 for 6 weighing 126. Here are a few pics to accompany b/c I LOVE pics lol
I don't know if anyone is still updating to this thread, but I got a new pr today:
190# @ 122.8 bw. This is like a 1.55? Not amazingly impressive, but I'm happy.
Still no new PR.. the same 110kg I pulled mid-January was pulled late-November.
However, I was a teensy bit lighter plus... the first one was done with a slimmer & shorter bar (10kg + 2x50kg disks), the other one was with the regular bar (20kg + 2x45kg disks).
So the coefficient goes from 1.76 to 1.79. Almost immeasurable progress.
Wow this thread makes me feel weak!! I thought I did pretty well a couple weeks ago when I did a 1RM of 135 @ 130BW... coeff of 1.03, lol. That's peanuts around here!
Hey Espi do I see that right , are you still at the top of the rankings here?
martinsky's pictures don't work here, so I can't see them In genereal I also like pictures of lifts etc so as an example I have here one of my own...(of last year, now I look better)
btw NO that is not a powerlifting suit, I hate those things!!
edit, now that the post is submitted, I can't see my owm picture either :s what am I doing wrong??
My 1RM is at 135. I just tested that for the first time today. I felt like I could go 1 more rep and I tried but then my hands decided to let go of the bar, so it dropped when I tried to go up again.
