The 2024 Deadlift Big Plates for Reps Challenge

[John K]

Definitely Rogue. Looked the price. Fainted. Came back to consciousness.

Yeah, took a good bit of saving to get. I could've saved a little and gotten plain black bumpers, but I couldn't've saved a lot and gotten crumb bumpers as they're too thick to get enough weight on the sleeve. I figured I was going to buy these once and they'll be the last plates I'd need... Buying second hand also saves money.

Rogue bumpers are nice. I went to a gym that had recently purchased thousands of pounds of all new Rogue bumpers, but had (and I s*** you not) exactly ZERO barbells without frozen sleeves and negligible knurling. (and several that were bent)

You'd probably not be a "fan" of my bar. Its a Rogue Boneyard bar and, well, quite rusty. But at least the sleeves spin nicely and the knurling is good! I don't mind the rust...

I don't care about cosmetics - rust is totally fine. (give me a rusty bar w. unfrozen sleeves over a shiny new one w. locked sleeves any day)

Making up the deficit from last time with 420x4

 

[Chris Mills]

I did a single at 405 today. First time I have attempted that in at least 5-years.

You can put me down for 315 x 20 on 4-24-24.

You can put me down for 315 x 20 on 4-24-24.

That's a lot of freaking deadlifts for one set.

That's a lot of freaking deadlifts for one set.

I can feel the lightheadedness and vomit just reading that.

310x7 Today. First time over 300lbs since my ACL repair 6 months ago!

 

[Rygor the Swoleman]

Hit 405 x 11 on my DL AMRAP set last night. One rep PR over a few months ago when I last tried the same weight.

 

[T_M]

Please put me down for 495 x 1 and 405 x 7 on 5-13-24. Thanks

 

[Boris Bachmann]

Put me down for 225lb x 10 (axle) - nothing special but more than I've been doing.

 

[Luis T. Gonzalez]

I was able to get 405*2 this evening.

 

[theck4291]

If straps are allowed, please put me down for 495 x 1(just hit 503) and 405 x 3(3 x 445)

If no straps, please put me down for 1 x 405 mixed grip...

So, do I share everytime I pull 3 plates plus, or what am I supposed to do? Not sure of etiquette sorry.. the 315 is normal weight in my 5/3/1 workout

 

[Pete L]

140 kg x 11 today after six weeks of KED1 and otherwise no deadlifting this year.
I may regret the 11th rep come tomorrow.

I deadlifted 225 lbs tonight for the first time ever. I know it's not big plates, but it is to me. My goal is to hit 300 lbs sometime. It'll happen.

225 is 2 big plates per side. Totally counts. Great job dude.

You will get there faster than you think!

In the spreadsheet for this, we count 225 because it's two 45's on each side of a 45 lb bar, and for those who lift in kilos, we count 100 kg because it's about the same thing. Pounds: 135 and add in increments of 90 so then 225, 315, 405, 495. Kilo: 60 then add in increments of 40 so 100, 140, 180, 220, etc. All those are the milestones.

Great work on your part, a real milestone in anyone's lifting life to use 225 lb / 100 kg in any compound lift.

315 x 4 after squats and no re-gripping this time. No vid unfortunately, maybe next time.
