That’s a shit load of weight David! That registers a 10 on the Awesome Meter!
Is the Jefferson version harder or easier than conventional or sumo for you?
Dave, very impressive. How does this type of pull feel? It seems a bit easier than a standard dead lift, judging from the weight, I’ll give this one a try as dead lifts haven’t tested well recently (mountain biking injury, still tuning up).

BAD ASS Dave! What is your traditional and sumo DL at now?
Best conventional is at 575. Sumo I have never pulled a true max. I haven’t pulled a new max in over a month so next week that could change.
Okay… This is pretty ridiculous! How can I learn to make this sort of progress?
Click the “Get Better, Today” link up top.
Grab Grip & Rip 2.1 before it is retired.
Most excellent David!! Nice pull.

I guess easier. Unless I can pull 605 conventional this week.
Highly probable
Is the jefferson deadlift allowed in competitions?
Marc, yes for the IAWA and USAWA. Dave will compete to break the world record soon.
Good job Dave, however, I think you are a freak of nature, but in a good way.
Probably

As you can probably expect my answer to be..it doesn’t feel like anything.
It is “easier” or probably more precisely better leverage and a shorter pull.
Super strong again, David.
Upon investigating, I am noticing a disturbing lack of PR’s coming from devotees of other fitness camps.
Yet, I see them here day after day after day.
At this point it is getting preposterous…what is everyone else waiting for?
Thanks Steve. I agree on all fronts. “Stupid not to”, right?
Dave, your form is atrocious. You will eventually pay the piper for moving so poorly. I would not consider you to be a very smart person
it would be helpful for you to demonstrate a triple body deadlift so that Dave could learn from your example, can you post one here this week?
Somebody’s trollin
Yes
