Nothing was worse than a clean bulk. But deadlifting 405 and seeing the bar bend was an amazing feeling.


For a time I was able to pull triple body weight, and that was with a bar stiff as hell with very little whip. It was indeed an amazing feeling!

Point at your closest American highschool (pop > 1000). There are more than one girls in that school who can pull 405 for reps.

If you don’t think this is possible, you know nothing about highschool athletics. http://usapl.liftingdatabase.com/records-default?priority=10...

Teen girls can actually pull quite a lot heavier than 405, ha.


Not sure I understand the information at your link, but as far as I can tell, the most weight that has been deadlifted by a teenage female (<20yo, open weight) is 391lbs.

Maybe I suck at web search? Is there a teenage female record holder who has smashed that weight and I’m just not finding anything about it?


You’re misreading. I’ve seen girls pull more than that myself many times.

It’ll differ by lifting federation. It’s humbling when a young woman comes up and works in with your heavy day lifts!
