This is now one of my favorite deadlift videos. I saw Bill lift once. It was the Senior Nationals in Austin, Texas, in, I think, 1985. Unfortunately he bombed on the squats with something like 550ish. But previous to this he had pulled 705 at 165!

My form is about identical to his, only he does about 100 pounds more than me. :rolleyes I like how he almost casually approaches the bar and then grits it out to the end. That is pure back strength there!

Yeah. I lifted in my first meet as a fourteen year old in 1982.

Eric, you can pull in the 600's? Holy crap that is a lot. How much do you weigh?

My best was 617 at a body weight of 181. Now I'm lifting at 198, but ain't lifting much more. :blush
