Shane 7575 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I just started deadlifting with a 3 inch bar and the first day of training I got 340 pretty easy. I am aiming at hitting 500 in the next month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthcarl Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Those are impressive numbers...do you have a video? I don't know if there's an official record for a 3" bar, but 340 has to be up there. I got to try one hand DL (straddle style) on a 3" bar at TPS and only lifted 95 lbs (compared to 245 on an olympic bar). Then again, my hands are pretty small.

Matt Brouse Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 If he is using a double over grip then I will s*** myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
