Deadlifting 175KG - 386LB

This is a video clip of me deadlifting 175kg-386lb in the u83kg o40s class which was a PB for me then at the Northern Ireland Powerlifting Federation Championships on the 6th Oct 2012 my bodyweight was 78.8kg but I managed to lift 182.5kg - 402lb in the gym in March this year a new PB.

Thanks very much.

Good stuff, but I agree with elflaco, you’ve got to let your legs shoulder more of the burden.

Your start position looks good, but you raise your hips the moment you start pulling which is a shitty position.

Also, you might want to consider pulling your stance/grip in more, it will probably help if you already have a strong back/hamstrings. It will also give you a better pull off the floor.

x2 on bringing your stance in. You’re a narrow guy with long arms, no need to take that away from yourself, capitalize!

You are welcome. :slight_smile: I am 75 KG myself with a completely raw 177.5 deadlift at 15. It’s really not much to brag about, but I might as well give you some idea who the advice is coming from.

I would say 177.5kg at 75kg is a very good deadlift especially for someone aged 15 I am sure you will be lifting alot more again in the years to come I am aged 44 and have been training since my late teens but I only started deadlifting just over 2 and half years ago I had always avoided them due to lower back issues which have actually improved quite abit since I started deadlifting allow I still get the odd bit of bother now and again I now really enjoy the deadlift and I look forward to doing another comp next year and hopefully lifting more weight.
