How much are you deadlifting?

No idea, but I really hope he does not decide to give me his 'feedback'.
Why don't you ask the 'new guy' (instead of talking in the 3rd person, disrespectfully)
Is this board about arguments -or, rather, about exchanging ideas on exercise & health: I thought this board was about exercise, and not drama.
Why all the hate and discontent: I studied my art to help others and myself -not to have nuts that don;t know me argue about non-issues.
If I get along fine with all my mates in my gyms, and other places, what exactly is your problem.
And, what precisely did I say that offends you -- if you can't give me a specific answer, then clearly, you are just looking to cause strife and contention.
Welcome to the MFP forums, new guy. I can already sense that you'll be fun to have around
While I admit that I don't always have all the time to spend online ... all the same .. thanks for the warm welcome, DavPul.
Whether I can post here a lot --or merely a little --I want to say to a few vocal critics that, while I am human, I certainly don't mean to offend or insult anyone. :happy:0 -
I'm quite certain we're all here for the same things

You want your little cherry blossom to send you another video.....
I can also send you a deadlifting one too.0 -

I guess I was wrong. I'm here for support and chick's barbell hip thruster videos. Ah well, to each their own.
Carry on.0 -

That is not very polite: Why would you not be open to feedback or constructive criticism? We all have areas of improvement.
Secondly, however, is more fundamental to your issue: Since I have not once ever insulted anyone on this thread in the short time I've been here, but solely and only offered tips to get better -or tips to better understand the physics of lifting -then your concern is unfounded. Save your angst for actual idiots; you'll feel better if you do.
So, again, where I have ever said *anything* of an insulting nature to anyone (with the exception of my replies to a few self-proclaimed board-police or hotheads)? If you can not precisely tell me exactly I said that was out of order, then *you* are out of order, Sakura.
lol
I get constructive feedback from people I trust. I do not know you from Adam.. And maybe you should be polite enough to get my name right. It's rather rude of you. I also have no angst...what were you saying earlier about assuming?
Also, I also find it rather rude of you to insinuate that I said you were out of order. I said that I hope you do not give me feedback. It is incredibly rude to insult me as you have when all I said was that I hope you do not give me any feedback - are you really that arrogant, stubborn and hypocritical that you would go against my wishes yet berate everyone else for having an opinion?
I apologise, big-time -- on my honour, I didn't mean to insult you by misspelling your name, Sarauk2sf, but it was one of those things, where I am human (and would occasionally benefit from spell-check) -- for what it's worth, I do try to not only address people by their names (or screen names), but also try to pronounce (or in this case, online, spell) is right.
Also, I also find it rather rude of you to insinuate that I said you were out of order.
I didn't "insinuate" it was rude -- I said it -- because it was: People --total strangers --all the TIME --give feedback and advice.
But, yes, you are right to prefer advice from people you know and trust -- most people find me to be a good guy, but you DON'T know me, and you DON'T know that, and I don't blame you a bit for NOT valuing my advice (whatever it may be) as much as, say, a good friend of yours.
I *might* have offered you advice if you had seemed to be having a problem, but, even IF I were a total stranger, why would advice or suggestions from strangers be inappropriate or out of order? As I said earlier, I will repeat: It is ACCEPTED CONVENTION (both on this board and elsewhere) that strangers offer their advice or feedback to help troubleshoot issues --sometimes when a poster asks for it, but also even when the poster merely states a problem and only implies or suggests a request for feedback.
In fact, if a person didn't want to communicate or get feedback from online strangers, why would they even be here? (What are *you* even here if you don't want to communicate feedback --either to or from yourself?)0 -
Well I clearly missed the heyday of this wonderful thread, so I'll be the only serious one here and talk about deadlifting rather than nonsense.
The most I have deadlifted so far is 4x8x185lbs, and this is under my capability. I have no idea yet what my 1RM is. I'm still working on form.
I also have no plans to probably ever test my 1RM as I have a lower back, spinal injury that I don't want to make any worse. I've had people tell me I shouldn't do deadlifting at all, but I like it way too much. I know I could lift more, but for now I'm playing it safe. My goal is very modest, to make it to 225lbs for reps reliably without fear of (further) injury, and keep it there for the foreseeable future, probably until I die either from deadlifting or old age. :huh:0 -

Female, 34, 1.65 m (5'5"), 53.5 kg (117.7 lbs). I'm now able to do SLDL (with dumbbells, combined weight) at 42 kg (92.4 lbs) in 2 sets of 11 reps. This is about 0.79 x BW and would give a 1RM of 58 kg (127.6).0

A. Female, 5'3", 148, max deadlift was 150 5x5. And then, about an hour and a huge meal later, passed out for four hours. Good day.
B. What the hell is going on here?
I'm the centre of all this disturbance, apparently -- with a a few (but vocal) critics in the peanut gallary.
Probably their criticism is 2-fold:
#1- I am a bit talkative; #2- I am "the new guy" on the block. (Other than that, however, your guess is as good as mine; the few complaints that I insulted anyone were unfounded --or at the very least, I certainly didn't *try* to insult anyone for how much they can lift --or can't lift --when I offered suggestions/advice.)

A bit off-centre, don't you think?

Male, 5' 11" 228 as of this morning. No idea what my max is yet, but my current workout weight is 235.

Well it's not really an advice thread, it's a share thread. If you wanna give advice there are hundreds of threads full of people looking for it. People don't generally come to share thread to get criticism. Forum etiquette and all that.0 -

The episode is about time-travel, of which my involvement is an integral part, as I'm one of few official mirrors world-wide... and yes, this is the original series in its 4th season --even with a few original actors making their reprise (but as they're much older, either time-travel or aging diseases have been invoked to explain away this matter).
Of course, if I was involved in the mishap in 2273, I won't remember it, as the time-line has been altered to fix the damage done by the planet killer. (I'm sure you will understand.)0 -
OK, thx 4 the clarification.ETA means Edited to Add...
And I was trying to be helpful to you (as a new person) so you wouldn't get dinged for hijacking/derailing a thread..which is against the Community Guidelines. It's different then giving unsolicited lifting advice :flowerforyou:
But...carry on if you must...although I find it very irresponsible not to get more info before lending any advice to anyone.
On my part, neither was I trying to come down on you in a heavy-handed way (but as I told taso, when I apologised to him for my over-step --remember? --I am, after all, human.)
I even updated my profile to add a little more info about me --as others apparently want to know my perspective and point of origins. Thanks for trying to be diplomatic and polite. 0 -

Oh, and I just watched a video of you deadlifting...confirmed, I would not take advice from you.
Eh?
You are quite strong, especially for someone as light as you. But, when I make ROM (range of motion) corrections for my height (I am taller than you), it appears that I am at least as strong as you --even if only by a small margin: remember, work is force OVER A DISTANCE, so my placement of the weight on blocks was not incorrect to make ROM corrections so that I was comparing apples-with-apples and not "apples-with-oranges" here. You are a talented and accomplished lifter, don't let anyone kid you, but 350-lbs is indeed more than 315-lbs, so your insult to me is unwarranted.
You're free to have your opinion, and you're even free to insult me (indeed, I am not as strong as some others --and not as strong as I'd like to be), but you won't find me insulting anyone -- the only reason I brought up that out-lifted you over apparently(?) the same ROM was because you took the first punch at me in your comment right above.
My DL form is not perfect, but I have had no actual injuries in my entire powerlifting career, and I really did lift the 710-lbs off the yoke and the 635-lbs in the rack, all without leverage advantages (like a a car jack, for example) -- I, myself, lifted them -- and no one else.0 -

I don't know what she's talking about. I'm thoroughly enjoying your 33 minute youtube lifting video. 10/10 will definitely watch again.

Have you heard of wilks scores? Lol at a guy trying to use leverage to argue that they are 'at least as strong' as me. I am a 46 year old woman. You really think that your comments are even relevant? In any event, strength has nothing to do with whether I would not take advice from you. Your form is terrible.
Your deadlift form is abysmal, your rack pull is not a rack pull and I have no idea what that yoke pull was supposed to be.0 -
That has to be the best (attributed) quote of the day! (Even though it didn't occur in this time-line, I shall take credit for it.) :bigsmile:0 -
5'5, 132lbs. Managed a 105kg (231lb) deadlift for 5 reps... though admittedly only 4 (maybe 3) with good form. Felt awesome, deadlifting is my favourite lift.0

My post was not one that should even elicit any attempt at feedback so your point is moot.
Sara, I would respectfully dissent:
Any time you either talk TO a person or ABOUT a person, it is appropriate to expect a response -- that is not always required, but it always optional.
Possible exceptions might be where either the answer that is being asked it clearly known (no answer needed), or perhaps if I made some crude sexual comment --or threat to you (in which case, I would CERTAINLY not deserve any reply whatsoever).
But seeing neither of these is the case, you answer is ... quite illogical.
I sense a deeper issue, but I'm not quite sure what it is -- if you want to say something, then precisely state the nature of your complaint -- don't be vague about it, as I believe you have been so far -- but, again, I'm not trying to suggest you not comment -- that is fully within your rights --only suggest you actually be precise with your complaints --and offer both a description of the problem and a proposed solution -if you want your comments to grow wings and make the trip. 0 -

...are you actually comparing your lifts to Sara's without accounting for gender or height or weight (there an equation for that btw) and saying that your higher 'raw' number make you stronger?
No. Bro. Bro. Just stop. DYE
It's not even a raw number - the 350lb was off blocks. The 295lb was a 'proper' deadlift.0 -
