    I have not done heavy DL for a while (gym doesn't have adequate equipment). That being said I use to DL 285x4 a few years back, my working sets were 265x6, when I weighed 140-145lbs.

    Your gym doesn't have free weights? Barbells?

    Oh and......m/6'0"/260/405 - I can do a bit more with wraps but working on strengthening grip because it gives out before my back.

    It is a free gym at work and only has dumbbells go up to 60lbs (120 total) and a Smith machine, no squat rack or barbell. I did recently buy a squat rack for home use and am just waiting to get my weights back from my brother, and will start them up again.

    I'm 5'3" (4 on a good day), 132.5 pounds and the last time I deadlifted I lifted 2 sets 8 reps at 140 pounds (wide grip), and the last time I dumbbell single-leg romanian dead lifted was 4 sets 4 reps at 80 pounds It's been a few weeks, so I'm excited to see what I'm lifting next time.

    female 5'5 205 lbs - my current deadlift (3 sets of 10) is 140#, i feel like my back and hamstrings can go much heavier but my grip gives out :sad:

    hopefully my grip and forearms will catch up soon

    Have you tried a mixed grip? I can't lift more than 130 or so without it.
    yeah that helps a bit.

    it's the difference between doing 1 rep and having to reset my grip (regular grip) and doing 3 then having to reset. i know i know.. i'm being picky, but i want to be able to bump the weight on the ground and go to the next rep. having to reset so much just lengthens my workout, which means there's more time i have to wait to have my delicious post lift meal :laugh: those xtra seconds add up!

    i also need to try a hook grip. the last time i tried i didnt get the hang of it and bar still rolled

    oh and my gym doesnt allow chalk

    5'8"/female/160# 1RM 320#

    Just keep going and keep working it. Don't be afraid to load up more weight and challenge yourself BUT always keep good form.

    I use a mixed grip, left hand facing out.

    Holy crap there are some impressive numbers out there!
    I haven't 1RM in a long time but my last working set was 235lbsx10 reps. Definitely could have gone heavier.
    Oh, 5-11, 195 lbs.

    5'7", about 158 lbs. Best so far is 315 x 5. My 1RM should theoretically be about 387, but I haven't tested it.

    Female, 5'1", 128lbs - my max PR last year when doing Crossfit was 255. I just started going heavy again and I had a 1 max rep of 245 yesterday. I'm trying to get to 300 by this summer and triple bodyweight deadlift for powerlifting competition someday!

    I'm 5'9" and I weigh 151, I can deadlift 120lbs x 8 right, I was working on form issues but got it right finally so I hope to keep increasing, I feel like I should be doing way more by now.

    I highly suggest stiff leg deadlifts. They are good for woman and get get you use to a something very similiar to a deadlift.
    Start with stiff legs and then cross over to traditional deadlift. IMO

    Why?

    There better be a good reason why I should train any differently because I lack a penis. I have no problem bucking a 130 pound bale of hay, why should I be modifying my weights?

    ETA: I'm 5'6"/137 and my previous 1RM was 175 - but I started SL so I'm back down to 80 (and building)
