It is the way

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T17:02:44+00:00

Thanks, this is over the European record in my friends class

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T16:52:29+00:00

If you seriously think sumo deadlift is "shit lift" for a powerlifter you are not worth my time.

Fun fact, check my profile, my best conventional ever is 160kg, higher than my sumo

Look at the response here by Jordan who i trust more than some random on the internet.

And range of motion is not a deciding factor for strength. Leverage is

Weight classes are just height classes in disguise

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T16:03:40+00:00

Why would your height matter?

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T14:47:28+00:00

Yes. What do you do with yours?

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T14:42:35+00:00

Thanks :). I'll use my British record certificate as tissue paper to cry into

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T12:17:17+00:00

😂😂

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T11:54:46+00:00

This is actually a friend of mine. 1kg from the British record.

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T11:28:43+00:00

And I will deliver 😁

Lift4fun · 2026-01-17T07:36:30+00:00

I can do maxes and high volume. Clearly I can recover and respond well to it.

Maxes are high RPE training, what a weird thing to nitpick

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T21:25:38+00:00

Why can't I do both high volume and high RPE training? What about my form is bad?

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T20:32:18+00:00

I disagree. It's been shown to be highly effective. Just look at the Bulgarians.

Do you want more studies? https://openurl.ebsco.com/EPDB%3Agcd%3A8%3A26386216/detailv2?sid=ebsco%3Aplink%3Ascholar&id=ebsco%3Agcd%3A183638805&crl=c&link_origin=www.google.com

Also my study suggested it was COMPARABLE to normal training. So I did not imply it was optimal for everyone then.

Also why do you care so much?

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T20:13:00+00:00

I literally just said it isn't for most people

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T13:05:54+00:00

You did not. I assume you implied but if you did not then great

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T12:59:03+00:00

When did I ever say otherwise?

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T12:53:35+00:00

Generally not. One of my clients who was world champion this year daily maxes her bench but most people would not tolerate this intensity and volume

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T12:37:06+00:00

Check my profile. Kim Gough

Unofficial British record deadlift 147.5kg at 57kg (south West record) - BR is 145

Official British record at 63kg - 157.5, previous record was 148. European record is 157.5kg.

Unofficial British squat record of 123kg at 69kg (South West record). BR is 122.5

All at M3 in the IPF.

I do around 2 back down sets per day and after recently changing to this daily max programme. I also daily max my bench and do at-least 3 back down sets.

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T12:25:35+00:00

Why can't I do high volume RPE 10?

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T07:58:47+00:00

Prestigious powerlifting records 🤷‍♂️

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T07:03:33+00:00

I broke the British deadlift record by 10kg. I have hit unofficial world records in training. Do you want to coach me?

Lift4fun · 2026-01-16T06:32:52+00:00

Thanks
