One of the guys in my gym is a world champ powerlifter but I've only seen him pick up 300 pounds. A lot of us are much lighter than the average American male so a more personal goal might be twice bodyweight.
- kendallpark 11y agoYou don't train at max weight with DL. Also, he wouldn't be an elite lifter if he could do only 300lbs, even in the lightest weight class. http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/DeadliftStandards.html http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/DeadliftStandards....
- defen 11y agoAre you sure you don't mean kilos? There is no weightclass + lift combo where 300 pounds would be world-class for a male, as far as I can tell, except for the snatch at the lowest weight class (56kg)
- kelukelugames 11y agoWell I posted this because I didn't want some 120lbs kid injuring himself trying to get to 4 plates by the end of the year. But people love to nitpick and argue about powerlifting online. The guy pulled 400 something at 123lbs, but he just does 3 plates these days.
