Deadlifting is difficult which is why you really never see anyone going after it like they do curls or something else along those lines.

I gotta give respect to those that train legs/back as hard as the other bodyparts. Come showtime, you will be able to tell who has been deadlifting and who has not.

My favorite movement for back...bar none. Good job Shelby.

True!

Great job, OP! I can barely bust out 6 with 365 now, hope to catch up to you!

Awesome job shelby. Pleaase keep these video's coming they motivate the hell out of me.

 

[DOGGCRAPP]

that is beastly and I bet those traps and upper back are feeling pretty darn sore tommorow

 

[Phidias]

As always with your lifts...

And I agree with notsobig, keep posting these vids cause you certainly motivate the most lazy among us. Lol!

 

[Shelby]

Thanks guys.

I think I might set a goal of 585 x 8 and 405 x 15 by the end of this year.

Good deadlifting. No bouncing, each lift is a DEADlift. One question tho, why don't you wrap your thumbs around the bar? I use the same "false" grip when warming up sometimes on deads but I would find it a lot harder to not wrap them around when going for any high reps.

Shelby, very impressive! I bet you could get the 405x15 right now after watching what you did with 550. 585x8 will be very reachable for you so keep at it!

And here I was all happy about a PB this week of 385 x 9. As with all your vids, I'm very impressed man. When's the next one and what exercise will it be is all I want to know.

Just more comfortable I guess. I'm all about comfort

Yah, probably could do 405 x 15 now but I meant doing it after 585 x8.

Thanks. Not sure what's next. I'm dieting now so lifts might not go as up as much as I'd like them to.

 

[get it in ya]

nice reps bro, strong. none of that hitching crap either. we all know reps aint easy with heavy weight. i'm sure you were seing them stars. nice job

 

[patricio2626]

I can't wait until I can make the bar bend like that!

 

[loganb_football]

Shelby that was some great lifting. Im gonna send you a pm, asking your opinion on training while nearing a contest. Just want some input from you.

 

[thebrick]

Awesome!

Man! I love heavy deads! The weight either goes up or not. You made that look easy. Very strong! Great lifts!

 

[GoneForFuckingEver8]

nicely done! deads are such a basic, core exercise and many people dont do them. hopefully someone who doesnt do them will watch how EASY you make them look and try them out

 

[get it in ya]

your also a large 221 in my eyes. you look at least 235, which of course is good

 

[CHAPS]

Awesome lifts! So i take it the 550 was your main set and the 365 was a windowmaker? Also just curious what type of shoes do you pull in? I've got some olympic weightlifting shoes and i read an article by Mark Ripptoe about how they can even be beneficial in deadlift, more quad drive apparently.

They're adidas - black with red stripes.
kind of like sambas, but the sole is a bit thinner and the styling is slightly different.
i got 'em for 20 bucks at a discount store a few years ago.



Thanks everyone.

I'm as equally impressed that you can hold that weight with a non-switched grip as I am that you pull like a mule.
