475 lbs + 100 lbs of Chains x 1 rep Roman Deadlift (at 205 lbs) RAW

[recoil669]

The chains are a neat idea.

@recoil669

Thanks bro - try them out - they really help your speed on the deads...

[Cambria2007]

you should take your bar and roll it on the floor to see if it is bent...I read that a bent bar can take 10+ pounds off of your bench cause your shoulders have to compensate for the weight imbalance and you wont even realize it.

[BRETZERR]

Thanks man...yeah, I'll check that out.

[IDMWEIGHTSIDM]

heavy lifting, you look about my size and b/f, or just a bit bigger but i cant lift that shit lol

[BRETZERR]

Just train for it bro and you'll get there. It just takes time and the right kind of training...

Thanks for the comment.

[supercows1]

so its 575?

[BRETZERR]

Sort of...

It's probably around 480 lbs on the bottom and 575 lbs on the top. The weight increases as more chain comes off the ground (i.e. it increases along with your strength curve). The lift never really gets easy...

[supercows1]

yeah, i see. I realized that right after I posted that comment lol.

[A550RGY]

That's just strong!

[BRETZERR]

Thanks man...it was a tough lift, especially after doing squats. Squats really kills your upper end of your deadlift (for me anyway). The lock-out was really tough on this one, not just because of the chains...

[otk8963]

That was awesome Randy!!! My goal is to do 450 without the chains.

[BRETZERR]

Thanks Andrew...keep working hard and you'll fly through 450 lbs.

[giter1234]

good job, you look like your getting bigger to man.

[BRETZERR]

Thanks bro...I am still the same size/weight etc...it just depends on the clothes that I wear as to whether or not it shows more on each vid. But thanks...I will take that as a complement.

[mazurek45]

Very strong! I need to work on my DL!!! Mine sux...

[BRETZERR]

Get after it bro...you can add a lot of weight to this movement in a hurry...it's nice on the ego!  LOL

Good luck.

[powabuilda]

Great lift! My deadlift has been coming along great too! I just recently pulled 425 for 11! And I almost got 12! So I really want to be pulling 550 at my meet in 7 weeks! And also, whats up with deadlifting in jeans..lol Don't you think you could get more with some shorts? lol

[BRETZERR]

Thanks Nate. You like the jeans? Ha, ha, ha...yeah, I wasn't really going to workout but I was messing around with the weights will BBQ'ing and things felt pretty good so I kept going...too late to change then.

Why are you doing such high reps on your dead's? Have you lifted over 500 lbs in your training? Just curious...

I don't normally rep that high when trying to add strength...

[powabuilda]

Ya, I actually have NEVER lifted with that high amount of reps before. But as you know, I have just started on th 5-3-1 program and it has you working off of 90 percent of what your actually max is so as you can imagine, the reps are a little bit higher on the first week of each cycle. But as the weeks move on, the reps slowly decrease as the weight has gine up. But overall I have been hitting alot of PR'S and the program seems to be working well! What did you think of it when I sent you it!

[DrewGymRat]

strong mofo, i doing 405+55 x maybe 4-5 but nothing as good as this

[BRETZERR]

Thanks bro...keep at it and you'll be doing this too.

[HHH396]

Awesome lift man!

[BRETZERR]

Thanks Mark...I am trying!

[dario2004]

Thats amazing strong and i love training with chains too, that got me very strong, you seem to be getting monster strong, 1000 stars you are a beast

[BRETZERR]

Thanks Dario...I appreciate that. Hopefully I can get 500 lbs with the chains soon. Then I should be getting close to a 550 lb or 600 lb regular deadlift.

[Cambria2007]

so you uploaded a 300X10 bench, 405 squat and this video all at once..did you do all these lifts in the same day?? you are an animal!

[BRETZERR]

Ha, ha...yeah, I did the chest workout in the morning and the squat/deadlift workout after dinner. It was a good day...
