10x150kg deadlifts

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.

thats crazy, i hop i can max that much weight by mid next year, i weigh 56kg and max 100kg, whats your bodyweight?

[zenpharaohs]

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.

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

[zenpharaohs]

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.

Very inspiring! I can barely get that for 5 reps at nineteen

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.

may make some if i can ever be bothered, i deadlift, i just dont care to film it for the entire internet to see

Let's see your deadlift videos, kid.

[zenpharaohs]

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.

[eclipsez0r]

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

[eclipsez0r]

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
