I use a belt for neither squats nor deadlifts - just make sure my form is ok - my grip fails me on deadlift though at 385 or so - so I may need to get me some wrist straps.

6'0" 220lbs. I usually workout with 405. I consistently hit 11 reps, got 12 reps once. Generally I don't increase the weight (don't know why though ). I did hit 455X5 a couple months back.

Probably because of the rep range and maybe a slight form issue SS.

I feel so weak seeing how much everybody else deadlifts, at 6'4 and 254lbs, 365X4 is my best and that was about 6 months ago. I have bad luck with deads (or maybe bad form) as I always seem to hurt myself, and nothing is worse than lower back injuries . I also do them like Bean does, on a platform so I get that full ROM.
