I can’t see what you’re doing, so I’m basing my next statement based entirely on this. It sounds like you are not engaging your hips.


He's been lifting for 20+ years and can pull more than 600 lbs. I'm sure he values some random internet poster's who's never seen him advice.

How am I supposed to know that? He can do whatever he wants.

Could pull that is the correct answer now. I actually set that weight as a target in 2017 since I was also still competing in BJJ tournaments. At that time I was a Purple Belt and I needed to get under 205 to make weight for a competition so I figured it would be cool to get to 200 pounds and try to get a 600# dead since that would be 3X my body weight. It was a struggle because I typically walk around at 220 but will get down to 210ish right before a tournament and just do a cut right before to make weight then rehydrate and carb load right after. I was a little gassed when I made the pull from the weight cut but I did it. Actually had a buddy video the lift.

I still will creep over 500 if I am feeling up for it these days. I pulled a 545 for 2 about a month ago.
