is a 200kg deadlift impressive?

for normal fags yeah

for anyone else no

>>41801350
Not if you weigh 150kg.

>>41801350
It depends on who youre trying to impress. It's more than 95% of all people will ever lift, but to people who take strength training seriously it's not that much

>>41801363
200 kg dl for someone <80 kg damn impressive

only ever encountered 1 person irl who can dl more than that so youre doing pretty good

Deadlifting 120kg will make you hardcore in the eyes of most normies, 200kg will make you a god. If you are trying to impress actual weightlifters that's another story

I'm, a skeleton doing 120kg deadlifts and in my gym people always stare, since I'm the only one who actually deadlifts. Plenty of huge guys there but none of them squat/ohp/deadlift, just bench press and machines.

Not really

>>41801350
I'd say yes, unless you weigh over 100kgs or train in some powerlifting gym.

>>41801491
70kg*

>>41801350
If you hike up your shorts like that, you're a fag.

I thought I was just being paranoid when I got past 3pl8 I always felt people were staring.
Then on my first attempt at 4pl8 I had a guy and his girlfriend ask me if I could really lift that. I ended up failing the lift, but the guy said that I reminded him of Hugh Jackman and was impressed that he saw the barbell was bending on my way up.

So yeah, 200kg is impressive.

>>41801350
Yes, it is.
>>41801484
>95%
You're wildly underestimating it. 99.99% would be more correct.
An 80 kg male deadlifting that much (x1 rep) is a candidate to compete in strength-related sports.

I deadlifted 3 plate the other and an old man stood there with mouth agape staring at me, when i finished he came to me and said he never saw anyone do anything so crazy and dangerous in his life

>An 80 kg male deadlifting that much (x1 rep) is a candidate to compete in strength-related sports.

Alright, you're laying it on a bit too thick.

>>41801350
For women that fit in a sub-SHW weight class, yes, it's impressive.

If you have working balls, 200kg is barely out of DYEL territory.

Unless, ofcourse you don't lift for strength, but then why the fuck are you asking if your lifts are impressive?

>>41805764
>tfw dont actually have working balls
>tfw left testicle is smaller than right and produces less of just about eveyrhting

still have a 210kg deadlift

keep lifting boys

>>41805764
she has more testosterone than most men though

>>41801350

Yes it is, unless you weigh 100kg or more

Can I be proud of my 120 kgs for 4 reps at 61 kgs? I had power for fifth rep, but my left hand grip failed me.

I'd assume this is bait, but I know too many people at my gym who actually think like this.

People who actually get depressed, instead of getting inspired, when somebody outlifts them.
It's gone to the point where I sometimes switch around my lifts, so I won't hear those pencil-neck, limp dicked faggots complain when I warm up with 8-12 reps of the liftime PR they just failed.

Seriously, these are people who think a 120kg pendley row is too heavy to even attempt, instead of a set of 5 on a normal day.
They think that a 100kg deadlift is impressive for a normal man, while my 55kg wife deadlifts 100kg for sets of 3 on her bad days.

Whenever I mention that Jennifer Thompson's competition bench and deadlift PRs are my bare minimum, and I do not feel like a man if a 43 year old, drug tested, 132lbs woman outlifts me, they start finding excuses, instead of manning up and setting proper goals.


These people are beyond saving.

>>41801363
At what point is a deadlift impressive in a) a commercial gym?
b) a powerlifting/hardcore gym?

>>41805812
That's an excuse.
My test levels were tested at 403ng/dL
I still manage to bench 145kg, deadlift 225kg, squat 205kg (high bar ATG is stuck at 165kg, though), while walking around at 102.5-102.8 kg.

>>41805891
Commercial? 4pl8
Strength gym? It's never good enough

>>41805891
>At what point is a deadlift impressive in a) a commercial gym?
At the point where you actually deadlift more than you weigh.
Seriously, it's that low.
>b) a powerlifting/hardcore gym?
Anything over double BW is decent, but to be impressive to a hardcore lifter, you need to match up to the greats.
3xBW, or anything above 800lbs is actually impressive.

>>41806103
umaruposting should be banned

My 1rm DL is 260kg (triple bodyweight)
I get a lot of comments from random guys in the gym, even had a gym employee ask to film me a few months ago.

the highest I've seen anyone else do is 4.5plate for one rep, and he was fat as hell

>>41806103
Maybe you should stop being such a fucking twink and show him. Also, conventional/sumo is all about your proportions and if you don't do the one you're best suited to you're a fucking retard.

>>41806103
>68 kg
you're a fucking auschwitz skeleton, strength=size is such a meme. bet your arms are sub 15"

>>41805843
yes you're amazing

>>41805675
something similar occurs to me, both when I deadlift 150 kg x 3 and when I deadlift 128 kg x 5

except that I'm getting these reactions from actual 30~40 yo gym rats

>>41805862
>People who actually get depressed, instead of getting inspired, when somebody outlifts them.
There's some pretty heavy projection going on here.
A 200 kg deadlift is impressive, no matter your cherry-picking of elite-level professionists who devoted their own life to this.
I don't give a flying fuck about how much someone else' is lifting, I compare with myself and I'm glad if someone's doing good.
>It's gone to the point where I sometimes switch around my lifts, so I won't hear those pencil-neck, limp dicked faggots complain when I warm up with 8-12 reps of the liftime PR they just failed.
Ah ok, you're an angsty larper.

Maybe for DYEL normies
For an normal weight male who actually trains for strenght its an OK lift not more not less...

>https://symmetricstrength.com/standards#/80/kg/male/-
>At this level, the individual is among the strongest in an average commercial gym. Many in this category compete in strength sports.

Sure
please post body or better yet vid of a deadlift of yours.

>>41807143
usually taller lifters do the conventional DL and shorter lifters do sumo.

>>41801350
I would say that coming around diddling between 3 to 4 times of your own body weight is really impressive no matter the circumstances.

>>41805756
No he isn't, an u80kg lifter with a 200kg deadlift could compete in a novice strongman comp if he's reasonably fit and athletic. Probably wouldn't win, but he'd be a credible competitor.

>>41807292
No need to get personal... what I posted is a fact a 200kg deadlift at 80-90 kilo will put you not even close to the upper middle in any local meet its by definition an OK lift and achievable for nearly any normal sized, healthy, male in a matter of a couple years if you actually train for strength...its like saying a 22min 5k is impressic for casual normies it might be but for any serious runner its laughable
>>41807350
this

>>41807312
can you explain why? honestly curious

>>41807312
K I'll stick with conventional then. Thx dude

has to do with leverages and most taller guys are built for the conventional DL because they tend to have longer arms and shorter torso (compared to their height) which is better for conventional.

it can be different for certain tall people for example if your lower back is weak you might pull more sumo but assuming you have an average build and no muscular imbalances conventional should be better for tall people. if you want you could also look up the IPF, almost anybody in the higher weightclasses does conventional and mostly shorter/lighter guys or women do sumo.

>>41806103
conventional is much easier than sumo, faggot. idiots like you saying that sumo is easier made me switch to it for some time and it never got anywhere close to my conventional

>>41807398
>no vid nor pic
>loads of bullshits
color me surprised.

>>41805862
>that pic
Why do grills always sumo?

>>41801350
It all depends. If you're strength training then it's not overly impressive if you've been training a few years. I mean, I'm still in skelly mode and have only been lifting 6 months seriously and I can do 120kg for 5x5 or 4x8.

If you're training for mass/aesthetics, then it's simply about progressive overload. Sure, you're still technically training for strength as a side effect, so will quickly reach an "impressive" weight, but if say you started only being able to lift the empty bar, and got to say 100 or even 80kg, you'll still be seeing decent gains assuming you're eating properly.

>>41801350
Biggest that I've seen was 365 kg at the same gym. Guy was pretty roided up and with a belt he looked like he was about to snap in half form the waist. It was pretty impressive, when the weight dropped the gym was shaking

>>41805935
I guess my 450 at 150 is impressive

I am the skeleton

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture

Wider hips help with a wider stance.

>>41807312
Bullshit. Has more to do with the proportions. Shorter femurs allow for a more upright starting position and thus less stress on the hip, which is usually the weakest position.

I do sumo because I cant get comfortable with conventional. It just feels so wrong to my back and legs

>>41809570
I'm a big guy that doesn't deadlift, literally never went above 3pl8
I can OHP 2pl8 and bench 3.5 pl8 though ;^)

>>41807263
why do powerlifting fanboys always sound like jason blaha and not realize that a) most of the population doesn't train DL due to snap risk b) it doesn't carry over that far into full body strength as they'd like to believe

>>41807143
At 30% BF cardio is the right thing for you

i deadlifted 200kg at 77kg and i dont look impressive at all

so no

its shit

OP - for a woman, 200kg would be a good pull.

>>41807220
>>41807284
You could complete in local meets and not come last but you wouldn't be setting national records till like 250+kg

>>41805764
sumo dosnt count

>>41801350
2x bodyweight and above is good

1/2/3/4 impresses people who don't go to the gym.

2/3/4/5 impresses people who do go to the gym.

3/4/5/6 impresses anyone, period.

>>41805935
>anything over double bw is decent

Literally any twink with a pulse can do that in 6 months. I can DL 345x5 at ~160 after bulking from 135. Stopped bulking as hard for summer or else i'd be at 360 or so.

>>41809180
that's actually really good. 2x bodyweight is nothing impressive but 3x definitely is

>>41813460
this. i bulked 3 months from 120 to 150 and can dl 380x5

200kg is what I would consider on the later end of "beginner" level. I wouldn't even give you a second glance at the gym until you're pulling 6.5 plates.

>>41813333
>3 plate ohp
People who OHP 3plates can throw a 4 plate bench to the roof. Something like 2/3.5/5/6 is more realistic, but who the fuck trains for powerlifting and maxes out arbitrarily on OHP?

>>41813460
this. i bulked from 115 to 125 and I can DL 405 for 6

>>41813549
Yeah that ratio is off at that point... The 3 people who ive seen ohp 3pl8 all bench 500+

Since this is the official DL thread I wanna ask for some help.

I have been lifting for almost 2 months now and I seem to be stuck on 185 lb, I'm a 6'4 lanket that weights jsut a bit more than 185lb and I'm on a bulk right now (2400cals) and I seem to be stuck on this weight(I have done 1x5 DL with 185lb the past 2 weeks) I already tried deloading, but for some reason I just can't go on.
If I add 5 lbs I feel like my vision blurs and I'm about to blackout.

Any Ideas on how to stop being so weak?
