Max double-overhand pull with Rogue axle

While deadlifting today, I decided to see how heavy I could go double-overhand on my Rogue axle.  I'd done this once, before, lifting with Brian and Van Hatfield, and Van and I both went out on 385 if I recall...it was a while ago.  Well, today I became a man! :)  I got 400 lbs.  For a deadlift, it is nothing, but double-overhand pulling this on an axle is a big deal, if I do say so myself.  Check out the video and you'll see how: a) my hands barely reach around the axle and b) you have to hang on for dear life as the bar tries to rotate towards you.


I did hit a solid lift last week with Brian and then was so sore that I only did some light lifting and a lot of cardio.  We squatted up over 500 lbs on Tuesday, and like a genius, I played football for 90 minutes on Thursday, trying to outrun 18 year olds, and paid the price the next days.  But I'm back at it!  Here is today's lift:
