    I love stiff legged deadlifts! My last workout I did a measly 60# - I will bump up to 65 my next workout. I'm afraid to find my one rep max... I need to be able to walk! I usually do the traditional 3 x 8-12 reps. I did drop sets this week which were killers!

    I don't know my 1RM, but I'm 24/F/143 lbs and my working sets are 120 currently with 3 sets of 8. I'm planning on starting Stronglifts 5x5 soon.

    I'm 5'5", 140lbs. I usually do sets with 70lb, but I feel like I could go much heavier. I have a really hard time keeping a good grip on the 70lb bar and I'm usually only stopping because I feel like I'm going to accidentally drop it!

    Google switched grip, and do it. You won't drop it that way.

    I'm female,33 yo, 5"2 and weigh 150 lbs. I have been working out for a few weeks and am deadlifting 80 lbs. I will be increasing that weight in the next few weeks as I am becoming more comfortable with my form.

    110 lbs, 5'ft. Max Deadlift 185. Working 5x5, I think it was 150 last time I did it.

    I always use a mixed grip.

    I wouldn't recommend trying to make a big jump in weight. Even if your form is good, you can hurt yourself that way. Just add 5-10 pounds a week until you figure out what weight challenges you.

    ^^^This is great advice. I am 6'1", 228 lbs, deadlift 285. I started lifting a year and a half ago. I was 268 lbs. and could only deadlift 95. I started adding 5 lbs every week until I got to 205. Now I add 10-15 lbs every other week. I also incorporated squats, another excellent compound lift. I do 3 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, so I don't know what my 1 rep max would be. My goal is to slim down, so I like getting in the reps. Good luck and take it slow to prevent injury.

    Last time i checked my working weight was 110lb, but i need to work on this more ( if i could ever prize the Oly bar out of the meatheads hands)

    My goal is 225 and then see what i can from there.

    Oh and i wear gloves :tongue: not for grip really but more for not tearing the crud out of my hands.

    female, 5'4" 155-ish pounds.
    my 1rm as of last monday was 160. when i'm repping, i up the weight every day i lift and i'm currently at 115x10.
    i don't use chalk, though, so my lifts would be bigger if i did (and if one of the gyms i lift at even allowed chalk...).

    5'11'' Male 201lbs

    Deadlift Raw 203.5lbs/92.5kg 3 x 8.

    Havent done 1RM in a while since I was doing 140lbs/70kg deads 3 x 8, which was 264lbs/120kg.

    From progress, could possibly do 300lbs/1401RM.... maybe haha.

    Have been progressing nicely, starting to get close to my max for sets, will be somewhere around 220lbs Im thinking.
