    Question: I've started ripping my calluses off (gross) during the lift, and my gym doesn't allow chalk or anything like that. Will gloves negatively affect my grip?

    Try liquid chalk? I found that gloves and heavy deadlifts never really mixed. If anything I felt it was worse with gloves. I tried a couple different kinds of gloves too.

    Thanks all for the advice! Never heard of liquid chalk, but I will check it out.

    I tested my 1RM on 03/28/2015, got 440 lbs (150.8 kg). It wasn't pretty and I failed on my first attempt, but I immediately went back and got it. I will be testing all maxes at the end of June, hoping for 500 lbs pull.

    Also, pulled 4 four plates sumo after all my worksets for the heck of it a couple of weeks ago - no longer training sumo since I will be testing just regular deadlift in a few weeks.

    Wow, jumping 60lbs in 3 months, that's serious. Good luck!

    I can do 1 set of 3 at 335 lbs. A little over my body weight, 150 lb female

    Damn, 335 for a triple at your size. Impressive.

    Thanks!

    I may not make it, but I exceeded all my expectations in Feb (except bench) so here's hoping for the best. If anything, I'll be much closer to that number than not.
