3" Elevated Conventional Deadlifts: 550x1

This was an awesome PR set. My previous best was 525x1 done a few months back. I'm not sure how much more I had in me cuz it felt really heavy. I did three heavy sets, starting with 500x1, 550x1, and then 515x1. I'm really hoping for some good carryover to my regular (non-elevated) deadlifts. My ultimate goal for 2009 is to pull 600 lbs.

what are you standing on 2 45lb plates and are you wearing socks or deadlift slippers? great job btw.

Yeah I just stacked two 45-lb plates to get me the elevation. I'm wearing regular socks and took off my shoes because the cross-trainers I wore to the gy, were too cushy. In competition, I usually dealift in chucks. Thanks bro.

@gmfrederik

Thanks dude, appreciate it.

that looked like it took just about everything in you mate, great job, I'm sure you'll get to 600 by the end of the year, I'm aiming for about 370-400 but I need more weights

You were right, I probably couldn't do 555 lbs at the time; that was a true 1RM. You posted this comment a year ago, and I gotta admit, I never came close to 600 lbs. I changed my training program and stopped powerlifting for a while. I'm recently getting back into the swing of things now. Thanks dude.

As long as you can lock it out, you've got a 600 pull from the floor right now man. Just make sure you post the vid!

That's an awesome pull bro...we both have the same goal for 2009 - 600 lbs! Although, you are much further along at the moment...but I am working my ass off to try and catch you! So, you better keep at it hard bro...lol.
