That said my support grip is actually stronger now than when I was heavier though so if I could pull it I'd hold it. I'm on a hand thickeness specialization phase for now though so Deadlifts are a low priority ATM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand thickness? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 51, and successfully deadlifted over 300 pounds, I did 325 pounds. My son, who had been lifting weights for a month, was in his 20s, did 335. He is now 42 years old, is a former “Elite” Powerlifter, and can still easily Deadlift over 600 pounds. His best RGC was about 125 pounds. About eight years ago, at one of Haugen’s San Jose Fit Expos, I pulled 330 on the Apollon’s Axle, and he pulled 308. His hands are 7 1/2, mine are 7 7/8ths… He had no disappointment in my beating him, as he understands grip strength. He wants me to DL 405, and is convinced I can do it when I am 70. Right now, I don’t know if I have 300 in me. He has always been a “high responder” when it came to Deadlifting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 405# is possible for you if it's something you find important. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 405# is possible for you if it's something you find important. At my age, it is more achievable than Certing on the 3… I have read on this forum before that “anyone can deadlift 500 pounds”. I disagree. The fact that you didn’t is PROOF that 500 pounds is a respectable lift. Just as I say “anyone can close the 2”, I will say “anyone can deadlift 400 pounds”. But 500? Naah. Certifying on the 3? Naah. “Anyone” is too broad a category. My no-longer-competing son wants to do a gym lift for a deadlift of 700 pounds. Do I think he will do that? Absolutely. He is definitely not “anyone”. And, at 42, he has remaining mileage. I never mentioned his arms are practically as long as a Gibbon’s. That helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
