DUDE, wtf man. You are still going on about how f'n great you are????? NOBODY cares man......you put your stats up, now move the heck on and put down the dam keyboard already ........You're a douche nozzle, you have proven it beyond all measurable comprehension ....okay, Happy .....
And let this thread continue on in peace, PLEASE ..........
It is AWESOME to see how many women are lifting these days..... High Five Ladies !!!!
While I enjoy defending myself, too much of a "good thing" is NOT GOOD. (Not for me or anybody else: #OnlineTimeVampire)
If it's alright with all other posters, do you all think perhaps we all could take drefaw's advice? (For those of you that really want to weigh in, please read the whole thread: probably your questions will be answered there -God knows, I and many others weighed in, more so than the Supreme Court, for God's sake!
OK, you happy now? :glasses:
ETA (Edited to Add) You're also right on point 2: It's good that woman are becoming less apt to avoid lifting weights & getting healthy - heck, it's good for ALL people (men, women, and children -even pets) to have a healthy exercise and diet regimen and have healthy lifestyles (avoid smoking, drinking, and, yes, stress: see comment above)0 -
Female - 67 years old - 5'7" - 170lbs
Did my first deadlift last night 90lbs x 4 ... could have done more but I didn't want the young men working out beside me to feel bad!
Looking into powerlift competing next year. Inspired by whiskeysister5100 -
You claimed your 635 lb lift was a powerlifting progress video. It's not. Period.

It's not about more or less important. It's not a progress video. You can use it as lockout assistance if you want, but it's not indicative of your deadlift progress.Seeing as they agree with me on most (if not all) points -even back when they were commenting on my 320/585 vid (an older vid with worse form), it should be obvious that my 635/710 vid (the one under discussion) is much better -and now that puts me in their league: If you disagree with me, then you disagree with all of us, many pros included -- oh, really?0 -
I once had Hugh Jackman on my Facebook friend list...just sayin'0

Oh? But this does...

One of my friends, who is a world record holder in powerlifting, needed THREE tries to beat me arm-wrestling, and I was waaaay out of my weight class to boot; I may have finally lost, but (not that it matters about the arguments about my lifting), I didn;'t make victory easy for the opposing party...
Besides, on the matter of intelligence (also important), it *does* put me in their league -at least on the narrow point of whether or not I was using good form -since, after all, they ALL (almost all anyhow) agreed with my on the point in question: good form or not?
Lastly, 710-lbs is a lot for ANYbody -even if it is only over a few inches on range-of-motion, but hey, didn't we hear from The Voice of Wisdom who replied to me earlier, calling for us to knock it off? Can we focus on lifting, exercise, diet, and health *more* and petty minutiae *less*??0 -

If you really wanted to you would've dropped it after you saw the post, I hadn't seen it when you were writing it up.
Arm wrestling ALSO has nothing to do with powerlifting, and 710 may be a big number, but it still doesn't mean anything for deadlifting.0 -

Too much arguing online is good for nobody: we've heard each others' views, and you all had my full attention, so don't think I'm dissing off on you just because I disagree on SOME things (key word: some: I agree on the greater part)
Remember: This board is for helping people, discussing things, helping yourself -and yes, exchanging opinions (and sometimes disagreeing) - but too much of a good thing is not good - While I don't mean to offend anybody, nonetheless, let's heed this posters advice here and cool it, k:0 -

Came for deadlifting PRs and all I found was a time traveler

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?
Female
5'5/162 lbs
My max for deadlift was 2 reps at 225lbs0 -
After time travel I would like to discuss cycles in the stock market and how the phase of the moon might affect trading.0

5'6.5 female, 127lbs
Work weight for my "heavy" sets is 185
Calculated ORM is 208 - but I don't believe I could pull it.
Haven't tested a ORM since last Jan. (which was 175 at the time).
Working on a program that will lead up to a ORM test: One month pulling sets of 5, one month pulling sets of 3, one month pulling sets of 2, and then a ORM test.
My ultimate goal is a 250lb deadlift.
ETA: I am in month two, so work sets are 3x3, then one lighter set of 8. Next I get to try to pull 190lb :huh:, and I am scared. Sometimes I wonder how I got myself in this position!0
