    I totally only caught the last tail end of the other one- so I missed 3/4 of the epic-iness.

    But for the actual question...

    Of the Wominzy Variety
    5'9"
    160 (ish- sometimes less- sometimes more)
    pulling around 265 at the top of my pyramid but haven't one rep maxed in a while though.
    Hoping to hit 300 in a few weeks/months!

    Hai guise. Lets arm wrestle to see who can squat more!

    My boyfriend uses similar romantic propositions.

    Stop telling people our business!

    For fun today because I never have deadlifted outside of BodyPump I deadlifted 90 pounds with no problem at all. FOr some strange reason a bar had 50 on it so I just loaded 40 more on it just to see if I could. I am curious how much I can lift. For a woman at 5' 9 - what should I be lifting?

    As others have said there are many factors that go into how much someone "should" be lifting.

    Here is a site that gives kind of a guideline though.

    Gender: Female
    Height: 5'4"
    Weight: 155lbs
    DL: 135lbs @ 5x5
    Don't know my 1RM.
    Started lifting last month.

    Note: Would like to avoid unsolicited advise from know nothings with exceedingly entertaining videos despite the resulting hilarity that follows.

    wut? I'm feeling like a weakling now! My grip fails at 270, and I won't wrap it.

    Ok, according to the standards I'm a novice. I'll take novice since I've only been lifting for 12 weeks

    Male - 6'4" - 190 lbs - DL 335x6 which projects out to 389

    I feel at a disadvantage because of my height. Is it wrong for me to feel better in a wider stance?

    Just started: Male 24, 6'1", 182 lbs. Max I have done so far is 155x8.

    But, I was using HORRIBLE form (though it was better than GWW, probably. It certainly wasn't any worse), ended up hurting my back. Back is starting to feel better, I will be trying again with better form on Friday or Saturday.

    There's some good videos on you tube of Mark Rippetoe teaching deadlift, including explaining how things like the back angle can be different in different people depending on their limb proportions. So if you have really long legs you won't necessarily deadlift the same way as someone with short legs.

    My best from a long time ago was 1 x 385.
    My best from about a month ago before I started stronglifts was 1 x 255.
    I have been doing Stronglifts now for 4 weeks and my last session was 5 x195.

    Yeah, the day I injured myself I took videos of my form, because I knew I was doing something wrong, and sent them to my cousin. He is the one who really taught me a lot about compound lifts, and he is about the same height/weight as I am. He looked at the vids and told me what I was doing wrong. Very helpful.

    I've got some questions for you. Are you male/female? Height/Weight? How much can you deadlift? I am currently f/5'6/200lbs and I'm deadlifting 90lbs. I want to lift heavier but how much heavier?

    Male
    5'4"
    152
    265 for 15
