**You Know a Weight is Easy as Pie…

… when you can stand around chatting about it. 605 lbs at 185 lbs, which is three and a quarter times my bodyweight. Easy peasy Japanesy. I finished out that workout with 515×8, since I saw a vid of Kroc doing 585 for 8, and I’m roughly 80 lbs lighter than Kroc, so I figured I’d make an effort commensurate with his.

I am a former all-time, all federation world record holder in raw powerlifting at 181lbs, a record I broke just to say fuck you to the internet’s “lifting” community and the powerlifting community at large. Over the last ten years I’ve written over 500 articles on strength training, nutrition, and supplementation, and continue to do so simply to fight the tide of weakness and sadness that currently pervades the scene I’ve called home for the better part of three decades. I’ve got personal trainin certs, BodyPump and BodyCombat certs, a BA in History and East Asian Studies from the University of Arizona, and MBAs from the Vienna University and University of South Carolina on my side, in addition to some sick lifts and a hell of a lot of rage. What the fuck have you got?

Awesome. Do you ever do deads without your shoes on, so that you're as low as possible?

His shoes are on. Do you ever leave comments with your eyeballs on?

I see that his shoes are on. And as far as I remember, his shoes were on in his other vids. I asked if he ever does them without his shoes on. What's so hard to understand about that?

Nope. I always lift with my shoes on. I've honestly never even considered taking my shoes off. The whole idea of removing your shoes to increase the amount of weight you can pull seems ridiculous to me, especially given that it's not a meet. What could it possibly add to your dead? 5 lbs?

Your still a troll, OP. If you find him so distasteful, why keep reading his blogs? 😉

I'm a troll? I asked a simple question. I wasn't being a smartass. I've never deadlifted without my shoes on, but I've heard of it. I was wondering if Jamie ever did, which is why I asked, "do you ever do deads without your shoes on?". Damn, do I need to put "no sarcasm/not being condescending" when I ask questions?

Thanks for the answer Jamie, I've learned a lot from your blog. (not being sarcastic)

Easy stuff Jamie. A 600 dl is my goal by years end but you got it first, Bastard!

Did you hear about Kirk's 750lb pull? Unreal. Damn it I miss Ironsport sometimes.

Last time I was in town I heard about that. Kirk's a fucking beast.
