ScottW Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well I figured since there was a max bench thread I might as well start one for the squat and deadlift. (People still do these right? ) My best raw squat is 475 and 650+ with highly unnecessary amounts of gear. Raw deadlift is 540 and 570+ with briefs. Anbody else?

shizen Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Nice squat! I have not tested my max raw squat or deadlift but I have done low reps with 505 on the deadlift touch and go with bounce at bottom a little-3 to 5- My reps in the squat when heavy are 415 full beltless for low reps like 3 to 5. Usually when go that heavy don't do many sets with that wight though-maybe 2 max 3-. Hurt lower back 2 weeks ago got lazy on deadlift rep and used only lower back so only doing like 475 now for reps of 5. All done beltless mostly because don't have money for a belt now. My front squat after smolov hit 385 beltless but I'm not near that strength right now since working on back squat. Feel the front squat gives people trouble because of form not strength mostly, it should be pretty close to the back squat if your form is solid. Curious to see if any 700lb deadlifters in here, thats a big goal I would like to eventually reach. I feel deadlift is the #1 indicator of strength since you can't bs it with cutting depth ext or bouncing on bench or w/e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthcarl Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Squat - 335 DL - 405 No belt wraps or chalk. Low tech operation for us peons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsipes Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Squat was 375(with a belt) a few years back when I use to squat a lot. Now my squats are mostly KB front or over head squats. Deadlift was 410 with just chalk and I ran out of weight at my house, probably had a few more lbs in me. So, I bought a few more plates and will test again after my current cycle.

raymo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Best squat raw was 365 no belt atg style. My best squat geared up was 429 at an ADFPF meet last year. Best deadlift with just belt was 500. Best deadlift with powerlifting gear was 520. I do agree that the deadlift is the best measure of all around strength because it is either you get it or you don't. No depth issues.

MalachiMcMullen Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 My PR's are 275 squat and 440 dead. Both almost entirely raw, I did have underwear on so the "totally raw" guys will yell at me if I say they were "totally raw". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I don't know what my max DL is. I can only fit/tie/hang about 360lb to my bar, and at that, the tallest plate on it is a 25lb plate, so it's a few inches below a normal deadlift w/ 45's.

Ya tell me about it. My deadlift has always been very weak. I was able to load a 330lb stone before I could deadlift 405. Its true. Strange but true. Slowly but surely my deadlift is coming around. It has always been a big weakness. I remember a time when my squat was above my deadlift.

Ya, im definitely talking about everyday average joes.. it seems to be the question to ask me. When another weighlifter asks its a different story.

Klicks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) My best DL is 480 @ 175 BW without equipment. Once my shoulder heals up I am going to start training for a triple body weight DL. I have never tested my squat max, the most I have done was 300 @ 175 BW RAW. Edited October 21, 2008 by Klicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to post your 700lb deadlift also, that's a massive accomplishment for any weight. Your all around strong guy, do you do mostly powerlifting or you into strongman stuff also? I know your strong grip and overall strength and athleticism will make for pretty solid strongman competitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just done one strongman comp, NAS Central Florida Strongman Championship, novice division (no weight classes). Was in August of this year. Won it. Plan to do higher-level NAS comps in the near future, e.g. Georgia's Strongest Man, Chicago's Strongest Man, Nationals, etc. I plan to do the squat with just a leather Inzer belt (and a Reband belt under that). -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
