you should start a video log of DL and other lift PRs... that way your kids (and I) can see a 6'3" beanpole's progression to weightlifting greatness... ;)... congratulations...

here's a guy who's 6'5" 200lbs deadlifting 405... is he about your bodytype?

Yeah, I meant to record it this weekend but didn't go the the gym. I'll do it this coming weekend. And yeah that's a similar body type, although I hope my form isn't quite as bad as that guy's. I do have some videos of me pulling 225 posted a while ago, but that's from about 2 months or so ago. I still wouldn't call myself a beanpole :)

I was gonna say I was looking forward to lifting the same as you but seeing as you already jumped the gun to 405 I'll just have to wait. This weekend I'll be up to 5RM max at 365.

Good job. +400lbs in no time.

Thanks chairohkey! Looking forward to entering your league of dead lifts.

Nice job!! That's pretty awesome.

Thanks Maggie. Hard work and determination leads to great things.

Hey guys! Just wanted to quickly update y'all. Since I didn't video myself lifting 355, I went in today and got on camera for my 365 workset. Video below shows 3 pulls. But I did finish the set right after with another 2 pulls. I blame the wiggly hex plates on the second rep.

Also, notice the excellent chest up cue at the beginning? All thanks to sage advice from the Master of Dead lifts that I got here. I look funny in the gym doing it but it works.
