Powerlifting: Deadlift only?

Mr.Meat · 07-05-2008, 08:22 PM

As some of you may know my bench and squat are absolute garbage, hence I was wondering if there are any comps where one can deadlift only?

The APF now has deadlift only records and many meets directors will allow you to deadlift only. My meet in August has a deadlift only class. Just check around and you should be able to find a meet. SS, RB

My bench has a 3.5 foot range of motion.

A lift is a lift and the amount really doesn't matter to anyone but you Meat!! If you can't squat but CAN bench and deadlift, even if the bench sucks, then just do them both.

All in all it doesn't matter what anyone here or anywhere else says. Do what makes you happy and have a good time with it. SS, RB

Im 6'1 220lbs with no arch and a 37inch waist so I have no belly to bench from. I know all about long range of motion. My bench sucks but it does not stop me from doing meets.

APA also has deadlift only.

Pixie · 07-06-2008, 08:54 AM

INSA has single lifts only.
