Congrats to Devin for hitting a new PR of 450lbs on the deadlift. His bar speed looks really good and I think he's sandbagging. He could have pulled another 15 to 20lbs.

A year ago he was only deadlifting 175lbs before deciding to strength train. How did he go from 175lbs to 450lbs? We added 5lbs per workout. His deadlift was increasing by about 15lbs per week. He travels a lot so some weeks he missed a few sessions.

Devin just joined jiujitsu a couple of months ago and said his new base strength is a game changer when he rolls with opponents of equal skill. He pretty much dominates them with his strength and gives other higher ranked belts a tough time on the mats.

When two people are equal in skill and one person increases their base strength, they now have a competitive advantage.
