    Really enjoyed this more down to earth realistic video, I find myself getting a bit demotivated by all the influencers you see nowadays who look massive and lift crazy weights, because they are either on steriods, top 1% genetics or have been working out 10 years / get to work out everyday since its their job. Really nice to see regular people and both male/female do these sorts of challenges to get a more realistic perspective on things. Also gonna try this out later this week on my leg day!

    Awesome video! Being able to deadlift your bodyweight for reps safely with good form is a great achievement especially compared to the non lifter! Obviously self vs self is the most important. A good reminder in the social media world where instagram would have us believing everyone is pulling over 700 and benching 500😆😆. Very positive video! Thanks Mitchell!

An amrap at bodyweight would be fun... absolutely soul destroying but fun.

    Depending on which expert you ask, the deadlift is either a back or leg exercise. Not surprising that Micheal (big back) and Marshall (big legs) did well. I am guessing that this study proved that it is more of a leg exercise?
