How much can you do?

In my oppinion deadlifts are the best exercise you can do, besides squats.

My lifts atm are very poor. I do 3x10 and this is what I lift, im not going to guess my 1RM
Bench - 70kgs
Squats - 75kgs, i just started a few weeks ago
Deadlifts - 120kgs - 5x5 for these, also just started
Bicep Curls - 36kgs
Pullups - 3x10 with 15kgs of weights.

height: 6ft 2
weight: 76kgs

Squat 185
DL 242
BP 175

 

I can't (and won't) deadlift either. Killed my back when I did it; partly because of my build though. Try being 6'4 and pretty thin and doing that, it's really hard to use proper form on it.

 

Try a HEX or DIAMOND bar.

 

I've never used a belt. If you can do a deadlift with good form you don't need one, if you have bad form use very light weight until you get it right.

 

Depends on what routine I'm doing at the time. I very rarely try a 1RM lift.

 

I max out on deadlifts in one form or another every other week.

 

i've don 20 pullups in a row but after that i felt dead

 

Yeh I f'ed up my back from deadlifting (in all fairness I had it coming though) so I have to skip it. Otherwise (all in sets of 3):

bench: 70 pound dumbbells X8 reps

squat: 270 X8 reps (on the free weight machine to save on my back)

curl: don't do it anymore but used to be able to do 80 X10 at my best...im sure much less these days though

I'm 6'2, 185 lbs. imo pretty good numbers for how tall I am and how long my arms and legs are.

 

Forgot pull-ups. I just did 14 strict ones on monday. My best to date.
