Dead lifted 43 Tons or 85,405 lbs In 1 Hour!

February 27th I turned 51 years old and as always at least the last 12 years did a birthday workout.

The workout was to dead lift my bodyweight 155 lbs 551 times which I call “conditioning dead lifts”.

Woke at 4 am was in my backyard gym at 5:30 am in the dark and cold with little lighting no music just painful solitude!

I wanted to complete it in 51 minutes to an hour, I finished in 1 hour.

Total weight moved 84,405 or 43 tons!

This was mentally tough, I wanted to quit, but that wasn’t going to happen. My hands were blistered, my hands and forearms cramped, my legs tortured.

Then I went to work! No rest or recovery.

It takes a durable body and mind to complete a 1 hour dead lift workout.

I don’t train for this exercise at all.

As a matter of fact the last “Conditioning Dead lifting” I did was 135 lbs for 80 reps in one set, or 10,800 lbs in only three minutes, only resting while holding the bar, which is NOT a rest.

These are just physical and mental tests to see how my short brief workouts are working with my blue collar lifestyle.

Staying strong is a man’s job, physical and mental punishment makes a man strong, men who avoid pain or discomfort are soft and will live a life of the weak and desperate!

Try a 1 hour dead lift workout and see if you can complete it, if you body and mind are durable enough!

  6. Hey Grube
    check this…
    Sunday i picked up a “cold” and was running a high fever, cough
    I had to work anyways.
    I started at 0230 monday morning, on my feet straight till 7am tuesday morning. no breaks, just water. I ate a sandwich too
    before getting back into this type of training- i would maybe have keeled over.
    instead, i slept a bit tuesday, and back at nearly 100% today.
    like i said, when i was heavier, and “stronger” with a barbell (squat/bench/dead)- i would be dead-straight up keeled over working like that running a high fever.
    your methods work
    thanks for bringing me back to where i was when i was younger.
