    Most I've loaded onto the bar (before my gym got olympic bars - yay) was 180kg(400lbs). 3 reps at that weight before my left hand gave way. Was using a mixed grip. Hoping with the new Olympic bars and bigger plates to go for a 200kg(440) lift soon.

    Edit: 5'9", 270lbs.

    seriously... i read somewhere that wearing gloves could also get in the way of a good grip when you're doing deadlifts.

    they do.
    don't wear gloves.
    you can hook grip or go over/under if your grip is giving out.
    gloves are stupid.

    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)

    well i don't know about you, but sometimes my fallopian tubes get in the way when i bend over.

    seriously... i read somewhere that wearing gloves could also get in the way of a good grip when you're doing deadlifts. i'm doing them again on sunday so i'll try a combo of no gloves, hook grip, mixed grip etc. hopefully this time i wont have as much forearm paim the next day

    I am not sexist nor do I think woman should train any different then men.
    And to prove it, my wife trains identical to me, and shes a newb.

    I was speaking to woman on this thread who didn't do deads or didn't know about deads and how they can start slowly and ramp up. That was for men too

    Man or woman I'd start them with rack pulls instead of sldls.

    Are you a trainer? Then yes I would agree
    I also would agree that rack pulls are an advanced persons exercise
    What would you do for male or femal who go by themselves, just saying. Easy in, its always best. Rome wasn't built in a day

    5'0", 122lbs. I've been doing NROL4W for about 2 and a half weeks, so still new to lifting. Today I did 2 sets of 12 at 50lbs. All the ladies who lift heavy on here are an inspiration and I can't wait to be posting numbers like you ladies!

    Your a little hyper sensitive here. I mean you rip me up for saying you don't have a penis and then in the next sentence say exactly what I said to do. A SLDL

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one who laughed at this dumb comment

    lmao i'm not modifying my DL because i have boobs. It's ok, i'll stick to the regular deadlift, i have good form, and a spotter to tell me if i'm off.

    Well she felt comfy asking me to explain myself so I thought I would. She sent me a personal message
    So I wanted to make sure I wasn't being painted

    Althought I feel you are correct! But I got 3 bad *kitten* sisters who can vouch for me!!!!
    They pull more then hay!

    I've got some questions for you. Are you male/female? Height/Weight? How much can you deadlift? I am currently f/5'6/200lbs and I'm deadlifting 90lbs. I want to lift heavier but how much heavier?

    Female. 5' 3.75", 160 lbs, DL 135#. Just keep increasing weight gradually. I started at 65 lbs 9 months ago.

    edit to add: That's at 5x5

    Yes, we do occasionally get a little "sensitive" :sad: when you say "ladies you should do x" instead of "beginners, you should do x." If you look one applies to "ladies" and the other applies to "beginners" general.

    sweet, i'm totally upping my weights on sunday then...i don't feel i'm getting what i should be out of 90lbs...i'm a strong girl, and should be able to hack more than 90lbs. I mix grip too, and my hands sweat like mad so i have to make sure i have a good grip on the bar. My gym doesn't allowe chalk either. Thanx for the heads up on the gloves, i thought because my hands sweat so bad that gloves might help, but i'm just going to carry a towel around with me lol. Thanx for the info guys...i hope to be joining the heavy lifters one day.

    I am at 195*8 right now, don't really feel like progressing heavier, I still get a lot of good strength development with this weight/rep range, then again my back development is pretty much where I want it, I'd be lying if I said I was lifting to only lift heavier, a lot of my lifting is for aesthetics and I do powerlifting one time per month now where I'll go into my 1RM (230 dl) weights to see progress. My squats are honestly horrendous. LOL Only 170*6. :D

    Just add 10 or 20 lbs each time you pull until you get where you want to be.

    Female.

    5 foot 3 inches.

    190 lbs.

    Deadlifting 115lbs, 8 reps, 3 times. Probably could go higher, but lack the grip strength right now. Working on strengthening the hands.

    I've been lifting 2 or 3 times a week since mid January. I started out struggling with the bar, so I'm happy with the improvements.
