battle of the best deadlifters in the uk.

[mark griffiths]

phil watkins body weight of 92.2 kilos ,phil is looking in fantastic shape 332.5 deadlift today in my opinion ,has to one of the best pound for pound deadlifters at the moment in the uk,cant wait to see his next comp ,keep up the good work phil from all of us at derby uni .

[Rob Thomas]

Is Phil lifting at the Europeans in a couple of weeks Mark?

[mark griffiths]

not yet rob,has had an injury ,and trying to get his bench up at the moment
his next comp will be in september ,but his deadlift is cooking and his squat is looking massive ,he will be with me ,cracking the whip on me kind regards rob mark .

[Keith Ellis]

very impressive by phil, i think there is a couple of lifters up there with him, i think justin with his 320kg deadlift video at 85kg or whatever he is at the mo that was shown on here is up with that.

Also chris jenkins, at 90kg doesn't he has a best around 340kg?

[bulldog]

dave carter 340 at 82.5 i think and some fat cunt andy something or other 455 at 140 plus lol

[Rob Thomas]

Mark, next time you see Phil, do me a favour please and ask to smell his fingers and let me know what they smell of these days - he'll know what you mean LOL.

[chris jenkins]

Well done to Phil thats great lifting. Nice guy aswel, he has the right leverages for deadlifts. Pulled 347.5kg last night, Im 90kg's in the morning... dropping back now 5 weeks to the British. Be nice to see Phil lift in the BPC, Im sure Brian would let him lift to go for a big deadlift. His pull is looking good at the moment Im pretty sure he could make 90kg's, be a nice little battle...

[Phil Beniston]

Nice deadlifting Phil, not bad considering the old farts almost a Master lifter, good to see your back on form, Marks shaping up as a pretty good deadlifter too lol

[Keith Ellis]

how do you drop back now chris, what sort of weights will you deadlift now then upto the british?

[chris jenkins]

I will go to my opener this week fast then drop back lighter again... I will prob only go up to 180kg-200kg two weeks out if that then have a week off Keith mate.

[powerman]

chris did you video your 347.5kg d/lift,i would love to see it.that is a awsome d/lift mate.you are looking good for a big one at the british.

[chris jenkins]

deadlifting friday mate will vid next session, are you coming down friday? Dafys is training with the bodybuilders now.

[powerman]

yes i will be doing d/lifts on 2 inch boards,dav will make a good bodybuilder,all upper body and sparow legs.what time are you training chris.

[chris jenkins]

About 5ish mate, dont be a traitor and train with us lol...

[NCPowerlifter]

I have a question for you guys deadling over 700lbs - My best in 625 and looking to make some further progress and ideally get 700. BW hangs around 102-105kg.
My squat is mediocre...low 500's. How long will it take me to get to a 700 deadlift or will I ever..I will be 42 this Summer. Is gear going to have to come into play to hit this mark?
I've dabbled in it but always a low dose..

[NCPowerlifter]

No opinions? I feel that my gains/improvements are not coming anymore over last year.
Sure i could change routines, been there, done that...hopefully the Strongman training will have some impact on my deadlift soon.

[curt]

Best I've had is 232.5kg at 74kg at 18 years old.
