      @@intenselifter5538 yeah I know, just checking if you as intense as you say, good deadlift bro ! Thats like 305 kilos, huh ? I only tried deadlifting like five times 15 years ago, at 17 I did 420 for 2 sets of 15 by the fifth workout but I never trained for powerlifting, so Im excactly the opposite of you, more of a good bencher, curler, one~arm chinup guy , but if I trained the deadlift I probably would have been okey at that too, but I respect the hell outta a 600 plus deadlifter, ive been around a handful of them and know what it takes ! You certainly earned your nick in my book, and cool of you to answer brother in iron

I'm going to comeback around and get 800 sometime in the future. Yes you are like CT! A beast at bench and curl, those are good too, deadlifts are the most functional for me overall.

    This motivates me a lot. I've had two open heart surgeries and was not allowed to do any physical sports or activities. I took advantage of that and became lazy and weak. In 2012 at and age of 25 I said 'fuck this' and started lifting. Dropped 56 lbs of flab using silly ass high rep exercises with dumbells, then became serious about heavy lifting about 7 months ago. Since then I've added at least 100 lbs to each of my big 3 lifts, and the heart doctor was incredibly impressed by how healthy my heart is after doing this. Don't push yourself to death, but don't use it an excuse to be a bitch either.

      CT fletcher will you try only eating navybeans with boathouse farms carrot juice as a meal replacement to extend your time here on earth so that we youngsters grow old enough to enjoy meeting you and spending some time together hang out gym etc?
      how about wilderness farms almonds and oranges marketed by classic harvest, llc Dinuba, California, 93618?
      I'm being very specific about the foods because the different manufacturers make them taste different. those were my preference that I actually live by...eat daily.
