    My wife pulled a really solid 225 at 5'2" and 105lbs with a belt and chalked hands. Pretty proud of her.

    Since then she started a business and has fallen off at the gym so she hasn't been even attempting anything heavy

    A week ago I pulled 220 at 5'7" and 180. I'm going to lift a gigantic 340 lb. stone in Iceland in 2014.

    Hit 315 pounds, just chalk, at 5'8.5" and 165.
    Goal assuming no surgery on my shoulder, is to hit 405

    Was working on 225 when I had SI joint issues. (5'7", 142 lbs.)

    Would like to be able to deadlift again, period- ortho doc says it's not suggested. Would like to get it into the 300 range in '14.

    Honestly i don't know what my PB is because I haven't tried, I will tomorrow! but what i do is 8 reps of 100 lbs but it's easy I could probably do hmm 200 or a little more for 1 rep. I'm 5'8" and 160

    ok, so i meant summer 12 but I can't edit this post now, its been too long. Dang. I just did 2x5 84 tonight though, and it was not very challenging. I'm hoping within a few weeks I will be back to struggling for personal bests instead of working my way back through 'baby weights' to get to where i once was

    You will. I had a 200 lb. deadlift in summer of '12. Then my kitty died and I was too depressed to work out for months. I had to start back the new year with just aquacise, and as you know, a week ago I deadlifted 220. You will not only get it back, you will surpass it. It's not about where you start, it's that you never give up. Fall down 10 times. Stand up 11. :drinker:

    I'm pretty new at it. I don't have a personal best because I'm doing stronglifts 5x5 so I'm just adding progressively heavier weight each time. My last was 80kg which is about 176 lb.

    My last set this week was 265lbs...that has been my max for a few weeks, but my starting weights have been increasing. I was scared of deadlifts for ages and avoided them for months, so impressed with my efforts!

    PB in the gym: 112.5kg (247.5lbs) @ 151lbs.
    PB in competition: 115kg (253lbs) @ 148lbs.

    Goal for this year, 140kg (308lbs) would be nice as that's 3 plates :D

    I'm only doing 4 x 6 reps @ 75kg (165lbs) after a lower back injury. How do you test your 1RM without going too far and causing injury? Do you literally do an 'easy' weight for 1 rep and keep going and going until failure?

    You ladies rock, by the way! Women who deadlift. Heaven haha!

    5' 8", 165.

    If I am actually going for a 1RM (as opposed to a working session single) I usually do a bunch of warm up sets at a very low weight, and then start upping the weight and dropping the reps until I get to about 60 - 70% of my actual 1RM and then ramp up with singles from there, depending on how I feel.

    This may be helpful - its more 'regimented' than I do now but it's useful imo when doing them for the first couple of times: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/how_to_warm_up_for_a_onerep_max

    I've never worked out my 1rm of anything - I'm not in to comps in that way, and I'm not particularly interested in knowing :)

    I had to start again with deads after hurting my back too - I feel stronger than before though, and working on my form with lighter weights was probably a great thing!

    Inspiring stuff. Thanks for all your feedback, however lbs means nothing to me I have to convert it. Im talking 1 rep max as well, so you ppl can probably lift more.

    I also took a video of myself this week and my form is shocking. Ive been training with a female bodybuilder all year and Im annoyed to say the least that she didn't tell me this a year ago. So now I need to correct my form before I go heavier.

    Any one know they have shocking technique and what did you do to help?

    Plenty of people who lift don't lift correctly!

    I didn't have terrible form, but it is a lot better since our physio became our training partner! He's also an ex bodybuilder (possibly future), he is a stickler on form and doesn't let us get away with anything!

    I got a personal trainer. Expensive but worth it. My form is good.
