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?
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.
