Deadlifting 595lbs at 236lb bodyweight

[ThleTruth]

47 !!! dam...

[jasonaidancolin]

That is awesome! Inspiring me to work harder, I am only at 365 1rpm right now wanting to break that 400lb mark. Only criticism I had was the overextending on the lockout. Other than that starting posture excellent, and you didn't round your back at all. Great Lift! Keep up the good work!

[herutatiff]

@jasonaidancolin Thanks Jason! I was 47 years old in that video, and since than I had a magnificent knee injury that set me back immensely. I have been working my way back up too. I just recently started deadlifting 505lbs for six reps. About two weeks ago I deadlifted 555lbs for 1 rep. I was shocked, but now I have to do the assistance work to reach higher plateaus! I will! Keep at it man! All the best!

[G00n3r4Life]

bend those knees son

[herutatiff]

@G00n3r4Life Yeah...

[cz2314]

Thats intense keep up the good work

[herutatiff]

@cz2314 Thank you!!!

[JasonXtreme123]

Strong dead lift, especially for your age, i'm sure you put a lot of younger guys to shame and i'm definitely one of them.

[herutatiff]

@JasonXtreme123 Jason, thank you man, those are kind words....

[IncredibleHulkRobert]

When I read the title I thought it meant 595 1RM, but that's your 3RM! Well done man!

[herutatiff]

@IncredibleHulkRobert thank you...

[ChipmunkJLD]

@IncredibleHulkRobert lol same here! crazy lift

[herutatiff]

@IncredibleHulkRobert Thank you Incredible Hulk! :-)

[Dakashizzlenizzle]

Damn your arms are sculpted!

[herutatiff]

@Dakashizzlenizzle Thanks!!

[sneakerfresh9]

solid lift, whats your max on this

[herutatiff]

@sneakerfresh9 The most I ever did was 700lbs...

[sneakerfresh9]

@herutatiff dang, what was your bodyweight at that time?

[herutatiff]

@sneakerfresh9 242lbs, at this weight I was the strongest I ever was in my life! Working to get back there...

[jshealy]

hope you're not hurt now. narrow your feet, never do them stop and go, and shrug your shoulders as the bar passes your knees. then you don't have to do such a dramatic and dangerous pelvic thrust to finish.

[herutatiff]

@jshealy Thanks for the advice! I'm not hurt now. I just recentlty fractured my toe, but I'm recovered! I'm working on conditioning myself back into shape. All the best to you! Feel free to comment anytime!

[hamiltonbrba]

i believe that its a good lift, but you do not need to over extend after you've reached the top of the motion, it'll just increase your risk of a stress fracture in your vertebrae. Other than that, very impressive.

[herutatiff]

@hamiltonbrba Thanks man, I agree!

[mtxewrestler]

Nice lift my last competition i did 425 for a max weighing 180.. It was at 19 years old completely natural tho. 

[herutatiff]

@mtxewrestler Thanks! That's impressive weight at 180, are you still training? I'm natural too, never took steroids! All the best!

[mtxewrestler]

@herutatiff yeah im inching my way up, im doing the same competition again this year in November and gonna shoot for something in the upper 400's. i see this video is a few years old hows your dead going now?

[herutatiff]

@mtxewrestler That's good! I made this video when I was 47 yrs old. Shortly afterwards I suffered a very humbling knee injury, real bad. I recently started deadlifting and squatting 505lbs again for reps again. I'm still moving up the latter, but I'm confident that I will deadlifting over 600lbs soon and squatting close to it!!!! Oh, and just turned 51 on March 2nd...

[mrsting636]

@herutatiff Good job buddy. Natural is the most important thing. My Son is 16 and has deadlifted 540 he is still 16 and has done 560lbs. Troy Kay 16.

All the best

[herutatiff]

@mrsting636 That's Awesome!! Keep him inspired!

[herutatiff]

@snakemugger Thank you for saying that!!

[kingsolver22]

mammoth great job bro

[holyroller35]

great lift my friend

[herutatiff]

@holyroller35 Thank you!

[herutatiff]

@spawn039: Why apologize for something good. I use to do this same weight for six reps when I was younger. I recorded this video at the age of 47 years. I'm proud of myself, never took steroids or performance enhancing drugs. I'm 50 years old now and still doing it. My personal best is 700lbs. No one can beat me except me son...

[spawn039]

Sorry to tell you but your lift isn't really impressive. A senior at school two years ago could deadlift 585lbs for two reps at 180lbs bodyweight. I'm sure he's above 600lbs by now and still weighs 50lbs less than you. But other than that good lift.

[spawn039]

@13andincrediblycut Pathetic troll

[7SuperNova]

Is 385lb good for a 135lb 15 year old?

[m21cerney]

my high school football season is starting and i can deadlift 390 @ 248lbs by the time im a senior i hope to do over 500!

[m21cerney]

my high school football season is starting and i can deadlift 440 @ 248lbs by the time im a senior i hope to do over 500!

[ThePurple0range]

Out of curiosity, why the wide stance, ye not wide enough to be sumo style?

[herutatiff]

@ThePurple0range The stance is slightly wider than shoulder width! No special reason other than that's the way I've been doing them!!!

[muggymuggins]

nice one

[herutatiff]

@muggymuggins Thanks!

[Damnationization]

@herutatiff Wow thats amazing man.

[herutatiff]

@Damnationization Thanks dude!

[Damnationization]

@herutatiff No problem man. I hate when I try dead lifting heavy I can hardly hold the damn bar, even with wraps and I can not lift that heavy. Damn little hands. I also weight the same. What do you take?

[RAWCatholic]

Shiiiiiiiit. That's some hardcore training.

[bearsjawad]

236 lbs of pure MUSCLE

good lifts big man

[herutatiff]

Thank you for commenting!!!

[herutatiff]

Thanks Man, all the best!!!

[bigplayray09]

BEAST!!!! You killin da wieght hommie! keep it up. Only real bodybuilders have deadlifts in their routine.

[herutatiff]

Thanks for commenting brother!

[ElvisFerbeyre]

Nice bro, you did 12 plates each side, I can only do 9 plates each side.

[herutatiff]

595lbs: That's six (6) on each side plus the five (5) lb plate.

[ElvisFerbeyre]

@herutatiff Man sorry, my comment was referring to your leg press video, I don't know what is my comment doing here, probably a mistake by myself.

[herutatiff]

It's all good! 12 leg pressing on each side is 1080lbs. Did you see the video with 14 plates on each side (1260lbs)?

[Bagingito]

Nice lifts!

[herutatiff]

Thanks!!!

[ervin51973]

try RESETTING AFTER YOUR FIRST PULL (MAYBE 2 OR 3 SECONDS ) AND PULL AGAIN..WE ALL TEND TO LOOSE OR FORM WHEN WE WE JUST TOUCH AND GO..THEN IT BECOMES STREIGHT-LEGGED PULLS..VERY STRONG THOUGH .

[herutatiff]

@ervin51973 Thanks for commenting!

[thejfunk123]

that's a lot of weight, form could be better though

[herutatiff]

Thanks for your comment! I'm looking to surpass this number this year!

[herutatiff]

Thank you dude, all the best with your goals!!!

[Beastmode475]

Hell yeah man nice lift!!!

[herutatiff]

Thank you man, looking to surpasss that now!!!

[bigb3188]

Very impressive deadlift especially at your weight! You don't even bounce it off the ground either, very controlled, Props!!

[herutatiff]

Thanks a lot man!

[ElvisFerbeyre]

Nice lift man! That's good for strength in your body.

[herutatiff]

Thanks! I appreciate your comments!!!

[ElvisFerbeyre]

You welcome my friend, deadlift is a great exercise.

[herutatiff]

that's great! keep training hard and smart...all the best!

[ervin51973]

nice lift man !! i'm a small guy about 5'5 175. i maxed at 300 lbs DL 10/04/09. i 'm hopiping to put on another 20lbs in the next year or so...my goal is a 465 DL before the end of 2009..

[herutatiff]

Try partial reps off the platform and off an elevated position in the squat rack, these will definitely help you with reaching your next goal...

[mikeLeC123]

huge arms- overall nice physique

[herutatiff]

thank you Mike!

[herutatiff]

You actually have some advantages: Your youth and your height, other litfers may disagree. To me, height means that you can put on more mass than shorter people. Consistent training is important, smart and safe training is priceless. Read all you can about supplementation and sports nutrition, and try different routines to assist in taking you to the next level. If you want I can email you my routine that I penned that may be beneficial. In any event, all the best in your fitness goals-Peace!

[herutatiff]

Breed, thank you so much for your comments, much appreciated! I'm training real hard now to up my numbers, so look forward to future video posts on this page. Peace!

[BarmastersXtreme]

You look like you ready for war...C u soon! Hard work pays...keep it up!!!

[herutatiff]

Thank you my brother....C u soon! Keep putting it in! Peace!

[herutatiff]

Thank you!

[biglou8237]

Impressive lift...your max has got to be around 700. Great lift for a bodybuilder, you should concentrate on powerlifting especially at your weight! In my video I borrowed the straps from my wife and yes I know its not a "real" deadlift...lol. Good job I wanna see your max!

[herutatiff]

The only thing that makes your lift not legit is you started from the rack and went down with the weight. The deadlift starts from the ground. But, the lift is impressive still and I commend your effort. I started training by doing powerlifting and fell head over heels for bodybuilding. Thank you for your comment. Best regards....

[rickjames740]

nice job man

im 14 yrs old

weigh 170, and my max bench is 170, max squat is 305, andmy max clean is 150

i need to work on my cleans but im getting good at my squats so far

nice vid man im wishing to be able to do that someday

[herutatiff]

My friend, with your apparent ambition to improve on your lifts I'm sure you will achieve a lot. Remember this, you're 14: I started training at 26 and now I'm 48. You can go a lot furhter than someone like me, take your time and train safe and smart. Best regards to you!!!!!!!!!!!

[BarmastersXtreme]

Lol! Lol! I didn't know rabbits live to be 48.

[herutatiff]

48 was last year, turned 49 on March 2nd, and still doing it Bro. Peace!!!!! Not eating raw rabbits like you, though, haha!

[sledcowboy]

great lift! nice to see other guys who don't use straps!! LOL

[herutatiff]

thanks, straps are for women! LOL! Just kidding...

[nychris311]
