Top 10 Deadlift mistakes by Dave Tate

[tex]

dremen is gonna leave his colon on the floor when he tries to squat 500 with no warmup......vids please....

[monkey]

Im built for pulling more then pushing it seems.

Shit right now im down to 215lbs and i can still deadlift 5 plates per side for 5-6 reps COLD yet other guys with 30 pounds on me are still huffin and puffin with 3 plates a side....lol

For shrugs i warm up with 2 plates per side then go to 3 then 4. At 4 i kill myself for a few sets then drop it back down to 2 per side and get some really good form in there doing em slow. My bench is stuck at 3 plates per side and has been for a while now so that sucks.

My entire life i've done nothing but hard labour so i think my body is more suited to powerlifting then bodybuilding? I've never really though about powerlifting much, but it seems i like it in the gym....lol

I can go in the gym cold and deadlift 5 plates per side 4-5 reps and feel fine, like no problems at all. I've never pulled anything before really and it seems it takes a lot to break me thus saying maybe im better suited as a powerlifter?

In the gym i think i have the best form for deads out of all my lifts.

Deadlifts just feel natural to me like im programed to do em or something?

You'd simply be lifting such a ton of weight/reps for your body weight that you should be SOO proud and simply post a vid. Nobody would laugh at you if you do this.. its just a good ( wel the cold part is dumb) test of strenght... and if you can do it... then post it!!
Seriously... there should be no reason why you dont post this vid if you can;t do it.. or???

I want to see a video as well....

Impressive but like the OP states, you should be going dead after every rep. There is a guy at my gym with a pretty thick build and he'll walk up and dead 5-6 plates without much of warmup, so I know you can do it. However there is something seriously up when you can lift more cold then warmed up. You should be doing a couple warm up reps and going for more weight if you're just throwing 500lbs around like its nothing. IMO, you lift 500lbs like most people lift 225, so I would expect 1rms in the 700+ range from you. Unless that is you're BSing, or you were talking about 25lb plates.

If you want credibility on this site, you either post vids are dont post bs numbers.

here are pics of the guy who cold walks up to 500 and dead lifts 3 sets for 6, then drop sets to 405,315 and walks out of the gym (assumed)

700+?

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Im not saying I believe he can, Im just saying, a guy who can walk up to 500lbs cold and do 3 sets of 6 reps should have a 1rm between 6-700lbs.

I know what you mean. Although once you start getting up in weight adding 100lbs makes a big difference. It would depend a lot on how the person trains. I doubt he could pull 600.

I doubt he can pull 405 for 6
