That’s awesome. I don’t do “body building” or weightlifting competitions myself. My training is all functional fitness for the military or martial arts.
I think my best deadlift ever was around 420lbs. But my average max is more in the 380 range, with reps more in the 320s.
Still decent lifts, Strength is all relative. I have my biases obviously, but training is best when you find the modality you enjoy the most
It’s also about goals.
If you’re training to run a marathon, maybe you shouldn’t be putting so much reps into deadlifts and… RUN, instead. lol. I wouldn’t boast my deadlift max at a ping pong tournament or a mud run either if it meant that I sacrificed my agility for that deadlift.
Everything is relative to purpose.
