The way to build up to a 405 pound deadlift (one rep, no belt, no lifting shoes) is easy: just deadlift once a week, and add 2.5-5 pounds a week. Think about it. After a year, you can add 2.5×52 pounds to your deadlift a year (around a hundred pounds).

What is proper deadlift form?

Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell off the floor with an overhand grip just outside your thighs.

Why is my deadlift not as much as my normal deadlift?

Because you’re lifting through a larger range of motion, and starting in a less advantageous position, you won’t be lifting as much as a normal deadlift. It’s a good rule of thumb to adjust training numbers down in relation to your normal deadlift max.

How many deadlifting records do I have in the world?

I currently hold 2 national-level deadlifting records, one in the ADFPF, and one in the UPA. Certainly not a legendary achievement (far from it), but my records do provide further evidence that a 1500-1600 pound total is noteworthy in the natural lifting world.

What’s the best place to pause a deadlift?

The great thing about pause deadlifts is that each person can choose where to pause the lift based on where they need it most. Some lifters struggle right off the floor, so pausing after the initial break off the ground would be an excellent choice. Others struggle around the mid shin and some around the kneecap.
