    yes because I am IN on ankle gains

    Only when done PROPERLY!!

    Soooo..In a power rack!??

    Yes and also if the item you're deadlifting is actually a member of your family.

    Honestly - if they're old enough they can clean themselves!!!

    I couldn't believe that I was actually sweating on my last set on 295x10. I never sweat when I deadlift only squats makes me sweat.

    Yirara, I dl at 205 currently but I want to get to 225. I am slowly making progress towards this goal.

    I'm hoping to work up to 225 as well. Max is 200x4 reps but that was during stronglifts. I've been doing NROLFW so right now just deadlift from box with no set down on ground. Use a lighter weight for that but want to eventually get back to lifting heavy on deadlifts.

    @ yiraara I found my hands so sweaty I couldn't hold the bar. I changed my grip and added gloves, then added 40# 3 days later. My max is a pitiful 165, haven't been working on them long, and (gasp), coming off an injury.

    250 is my working weight at the moment. I've pulled it for 3, searching for 5

    You love it? It's making me feel like a weakling...lol. I kid, I kid.

    It is definitely impressive, especially the chic NDJ who put up 315 five times...that's legit..

    oh wait.... ;)

    New female lifter here. Hey! Don't hate on pulling 165, lol! I only got through 4 reps at that weight today. I could feel my entire posterior chain burning. Although I was disappointed that I didn't get the last rep, still felt awesome.

    I just love deadlifts and do the the ones where my legs are only slightly bent. I've incorporated them in my strength training and in 7 weeks have gone from lifting 50lbs to 140lbs. I feel like a trojan and my hams look and feel awesome.

    Wow! You ladies are such a motivation for me! I haven't managed yet to get over my bodyweight (132 or so) but I'm sure I'll get there.

    You ladies. My DL is only 200. I haven't tested it in awhile but this dang deficit is just no help. So over it.
