DL - Whats better - not WILKS better, actually better.

[JumboTron9million]

220kg @ 85kg

250 @ 90Kg

260 @100kg

270+ @ 120Kg+

An opinion poll of sorts i guess.

[Narc]

270@120. Every time. It's more weight.

[Kendrick]

270 is the strongest lift, obviously.

I actually think that the 250@90 is the better lift. In that you'd place higher in a deadlift meet with that lift than 270@SHW.

[JB]

270 is more absolute weight obviously, but IMO 250 @ 90 is a better lift, from a powerlifting point of view at least.

Edit- Damn! Beaten to it, curse my lack of browser refreshing.

[Narc]

Ignoring the title for a minute, the 90, 100 & 120 lifts are actually all within four wilks points of each other - 159, 158 & 155 respectively. 85 lift is 144.

For deadlift, I say the top weight as BW doesn't make quite that much a difference. If we were talking squats I'd go 250 @ 90.

[LWStrong]

I don't think any of those weights at said bodyweights are particularly 'good'... but if I had to choose the best out of that bunch then the 250@90 would be my choice.

Don't get me wrong, i'd prefer to see 270kg lifted, but I can appreciate the bodyweight vs weight lifted (as I am a skinny homo).

The 85kg guy in this thread has been given a raw (That ain't raw!!!!) deal, 220@85 is pretty ****ing ghey.

Out of interest, why did you create this thread mate? Purely out of interest?

250 @ 90 is shit, I've done 250@85 and I'm shit. All those weights are shit. I'd rather see someone sort their ****ing life out and hit a decent weight.

The weights arn't that great no, but 'shit' depends what you want to compare them with?

Ed Coan? Yep shitter than shit.
Average powerlifter (sans specal K)? Okay.
Average gym pleb? "Wow dude that's amazing what do you do for chest?" lo


However 250@90 is less shit than 270@SHW :)

[Dave284]

I agree. I'd say 300+ @90 would be elite.

[LWStrong]

I thinks it's best that we all just agree that we are all shit. I am possibly the shittest, but on the shit scale, we're all there or thereabouts.

Love you guys I do :) x

If anything, it possible that body weight could go against the heavier guy, making deadlift more difficult. But that all depends on how fat he is I guess.

I'm going to go with 270+ @ 120Kg+. As Narc says, it's more weight.

[Jamin]

220kg @ 85kg

250 @ 90Kg

260 @100kg

270+ @ 120Kg+

220@85 is the worst and i would say the rest are just average lifts

Hold on there Paul :stupid:
