Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 585×1
2026-06-26585×1 Stiff-Legged Deadlift
Same lift-assessment session, this time a top single on the stiff-legged deadlift.
The number
585 pounds for one rep — roughly 2.17× bodyweight.
Context
This one lands solidly in "strong in absolute terms" territory, but it's graded as expected output rather than a reach given the rest of the strength profile — posterior chain strength here tracks with what the other lifts would predict, not ahead of it.
Takeaway
The interesting question this raises is what a conventional deadlift max would look like given this kind of posterior chain base — the SLDL alone doesn't tell the whole story of the floor-to-knee segment.
