If I can attribute one single exercise to the assistance of my losing of 115 pounds, it would be the deadlift.... hands down.
9 days ago, I attempted 520 and failed before even getting the weight above my shins. I was let down of course because it was the first time I had failed on a pull, but I decided that 7 days later I would attempt again.
2 days ago. I pulled 520 and the happiness immediately came across my face. I can just taste 6 plates!

Awesome.
Deadlift is my favorite. I hit 410 in April, but it's fell back to about 380 due to cutting.
I was in the gym a month ago when a kid hit 405 for the first time. I cheered him. I know what a big deal that is, and how it feels.
Good luck getting to 6. Monster.0 -
No straps either - nice work man.0

Isn't 6 plates 585lbs? :huh:
But seriously, nice pull. I was just shy of 495 last year.
ETA: Ahh, you're working towards 6 plates. My mistake. Though, what combination did you use to get 520 on the bar?0 -

hoping to make it to 300 by end of the year.

Thanks for all the awesome words of support everyone!ETA: Ahh, you're working towards 6 plates. My mistake. Though, what combination did you use to get 520 on the bar?
I did 5 plates each side, which equals 495 lbs (including bar), plus one 10 pound per side, which equals 515, then a 2.5 pound per side to equal 520.0 -

Understandable. They're so small, that they're hidden by the 45's due to the angle.
Thanks again!0 -
NIOOOOCCCEEEEEE congrats on that
Something fantastic about watching this.
There are a few strong men at my gym- and they load it up so bad we have some seriously effed up bars (which is-to say the least annoying as fug) but watching them pick up 7-8 plates for reps....
is inspiring.
seriously- it's just fantastic to watch what people can and will do with their bodies- keep fighting for it. It'll happen.
(says me as a mini pep talk to myself- I'm fighting for 3 plates now)0
