Sure but everyone is built different.
I'm 240 lbs ( currently cutting and dropping ) and I struggle at 520-30lbs . Just having a hard time getting my numbers up. I've done 535 once.
I'm not on any close to what Dreman is taking , but still. If he's going to post some numbers then take a video.
Of course Talo,
But you are not far off, once you lose a bit more weight it will become easyier as your leverage increases.
My deadlift is great but everything else sucks, I pulled 405 for 5 but at the same time I was benching 225 for 1 or 2 lol, something is wrong when you deadlift twice as much as you bench lol, as I have gotten heavier, my bench has gone up, but I haven pulled seriously for a long time so time will tell in that area.
good mornings from the bottom position. good mornings for a rep record. seated good mornings. good mornings with the cambered bar.....rotate them every week with box squats, front box squats, zercher squats, cambered bar box squats etc........hammer those every week and i bet you pull 3x bodyweight
These are things I want to be doing now, I never thought of cambered bar goodmornings though thanks, unfortunately my back has been all "brawled" up and this is leaving me feel very shitty, I loved training the deadlift, and I did well even though I wasnt training very intelligently, as I noted before I think I was deadlifting too much. last workout I did squats oly style and some leg presses and ham curls and felt fine, this last workout today, not so good, 5 minutes into the warmup I got a headache then before I even started my set my left side of my lower back pinched up, the trooper that I am, I performed a set and while I did set a pr for reps, could not countinue on with the rest of the workout ended up doing two sets of seated gm's in agony, slogged out a set of ham curls that I had to trade out for the multiple sets of gm's I was going to do but couldnt. fun times. Bench day is next, funny thing I traded bench day for squats and deads as my favorite day because of my back and now my bench is going up and up (yeah right).![]()
I'm going to be putting this to the test. Since my knee/tendon is messed up it's hard for me to dead proper with lockout and all. I've always heard from the Elite guys that you don't have to deadlift to increase your deadlift. GM's will now replace my ME dead days until I'm better.
This is what im talking about bro. Im by NO means a huge guy and my bench/squat suck weight wise, but i can pull up a lot of weight off the floor. Im really good at that one lift, JUST that one lift and people can't even let me have that and feel good about myself.
Im pulling more weight now @215lbs then when i was 235lbs AND im just on test/masteron compared to the cocktail i was on before, but then again @235lbs it was REALLY hard to breath after the 20 minute mark.
And if everyone want's to see a vid i guess i will buy some weights one day soon and do it in my basement cause there is NO way in hell im going to take a vid at my gym....and the reason for that is because there are ALREADY enough people in my town who know my buisness because of the ****ing ex-gf so a vid to back that up is NOT what i need right now.
If people here can't understand my situation and would have me risk my personal life just for a stupid vid then they can piss off....lol
There is nothing i would love more then to make people here eat there ****ing wordsBOO HOO, dremen has a good deadlift.....get over it.
Its a lot easier to make a cell phone vid at the gym rather than purchasing $500 of weights to make the vid at home... if people in your town dont respect you, than who cares.
I perched a camera on a barbell at my gym it took all of 30 seconds to make a vid, no one noticed. If you do 3 sets of deadlifts, all you have to do is hide the camera somewhere and go through your sets, shouldnt take more than 10 mins and you can speed up the time between sets.

This is true i will give u that, but last thing i need to happen is for me to lose my new job because i posted a vid. I will get one up soon, in the meantime i will try and get my max up a bit more just to shut people up for good.
What do i have to do to make this vid count CanadianIron? 5 plates per side for how many reps, 4 plates per side for hom many reps??? I would like to know so i can give exactly what is asked for.
Thanks.
