My bodyweight for that day was 211# (about 95kg), and I max 500# (about 237kg).
Take your time, train hard, and you will probably get past what I can do. Although most adult men cannot lift what I can, most adult men could do as well and more if they put in a consistent effort.
wow, 2.5 times oyur bodyweight at 50 years is not bad, so is 1 set of dealfits twice a week the best way for me to progress, i want to progress as fast as possible, and i ve heard one set is all oyu need for strength.
Why not read what you just wrote: "no matter what biomechanics are present". Well that's nonsense.
I am well aware of the usual "rules" and have come to the conclusion that many of them are not such a good idea.
By the way one thing you should do is view as many coaching videos you can here on youtube and see how many coaches actually demonstrate the form they espouse - often the first rep or two looks OK and then the next ones give away what they really do.
Mostly. I don't train in only one exact position or motion. My back is strong throughout a range of positions and motions so as long as I'm in that range, I won't collapse. I avoid a tight arched back in order to reduce maximum pressure between vertebrae. I allow some lumbar flexion and hyperextension to ensure I've trained strength "out of position" too.
So I'm breaking some of your "rules" on purpose. I think these are reasons why I am an "exception". You could be, too.
I wonder how many more years people will keep predicting back failure for me. Did you check the sets in the description?
"Part of the Philadelphia half marathon workout; the deadlift part was:
8x5x160kg, 6x5x150kg, 10x150kg (this set) and 4x5x140kg. The idea was to get 100 reps averaging over 150kg in less than an hour; this took just under 51 minutes."
Then I did a bit over an hour of O-lifting.
I felt fine after that, still feel fine. I've been doing this for years.
How do you know the 'rules' are right for me? Everyone has different biomechanics. Some coaches are just repeating the same stuff they have been told without thinking for themselves. Did you take into account flexibility difference of age in assessing the risk of spine movement? Did you think through the implications of my short humerii and femurs? Supposing that everyone has the same injury risks seems silly. I don't take "one size fits all" form advice seriously at all.
Very inspiring! I can barely get that for 5 reps at nineteen

there are basic rules that any anatomical structure, no matter what biomechanics are present, that should be adhered too

swap biomechanics with anatomical structure :)
i have no doubt youre correct about the quality of other videos on youtube
i still think youre by far an exception to the rules of safety

at least you keep a straight back, a strong old man, ill give you that ;)

jesus look at that hyperextension at the top
youre a strong old man but its amazing youre still a walking old man, well keep your deadlifting form up and you wont be walking for long

there is always an exception to the rule, but you are certainly not following the right rules there is no doubt about that
