With Rippetoe's SS, you're gonna need a helluva lot more than 255 lbs., especially if you drink the milk like he suggests.

If you weigh anywhere between about 150 and 255, deadlifting 255 is not too bad.

Best: APC New Standards

Worst: Probably a pair of Incotex that are a tad too tight. I bought these during the late summer Incotex craze. Chalk it up to a lesson learned.

Well, including the bar, I've got 300 lbs. Milk or no milk, that should last me another couple months.
