climber511 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Just a touch off balance - looked good to me. Hows the other hand compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Nice lift 315 would be insane though Is this done with or without hook though I couldn't tell, great either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 With a hook 315 is certainly doable. 315# is a great lift without a hook. You're in rare air at that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Hook!!! I actually never lifted with hook. Next time I will lift with inner arm showing with grip hand,wasn't paying attention to detail. Thanks for taking a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to hit my grip hard for grippers so no hook here.. Don't get me wrong I believe 315 would be harder than hell,just a long term goal. I believe I will get close anyway...

climber511 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The bar you use makes quite a bit of difference also - my Eleiko training bar spins like crazy and is slick - much different than a Texas Power bar of similar. And a bar with a bit of bend in it can add a lot of weight to your lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a bar with a bit of bend in it can add a lot of weight to your lift. Great lift David! Chris has some great points. Bar is EVERYTHING on a one-hand deadlift. Especially with no hook. I have done 275lbs on the thumbless-grip one-hand deadlift in competition (220lbs bodyweight in 2009) and I can tell you that within a few weeks of that same lift my highest lift on my training bar (slick, rotates well, but actually a cheapie bar) was about 220lbs. I have never lifted on another bar that this bar wouldn't allow me to add quite a bit of poundage to though. It is super hard. I've pulled 308lbs (no hook) on it some years ago in a one-hand deadlift. You will get to 315lbs - just keep the faith and persevere! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mitti Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks Ben! Appreciate the support! I probably should have waited till I put in more time with this lift before I threw out a 315lb goal lift. I will keep at it and see what comes. Thanks again for checking it out bro!

Pryme Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 How do you guys feel this style compares with a more traditional facing the bar one handed dead? Setting up in a sumo like stance but with only one hand in the middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJames Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Great lifting David ! 315 next !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMardegan Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 That was a great lift man, 315 should be well within your reach. I'm only asking causw I have no idea but how does this differ from farmers walks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
