You should be able to DEADLIFT your MILE TIME

I recently set a goal to deadlift my mile time or better. I followed Adam Klink's Run Fast, Squat Heavy program found here: adamklink.gumroad.com/l/YNxoC....
My Deadlift went from 465 lbs to 545 lbs and my mile time went from 6:09 to 5:37.

Oooh man, if I do that I'm gonna break the deadlift WR for sure!

[@cuchulain1647]

Ha!!

[@StackerBA]

Nah I'm just going to run a sub 3 minute mile instead.

[@Kelekona_808]

LOL, you and me both ;)

[@jessebecker1167]

That's what I think too

[@sansiveria578]

😆

[@scottvasnik]

Haven’t finished watching yet but I’m about to go attempt a 900lb deadlift. Alan said so!

[@bmstylee]

Come on man. Go for 1000 POUNDS!!!!!!!

[@scottvasnik]

@@bmstylee you’re right bro. Thanks for the motivation!

[@MufaSalfatex]

Impressive, very nice.

[@toddriguez]

This is a really unique challenge and I'm very impressed. I think a mile is just enough distance to where it lasts a while in the mind. So you can't just easily push through it, it definitely takes some mental gymnastics to keep your pace. Nice work dude

[@nathangraham2189]

Absolutely incredible. Seriously an amazing achievement. Alan, you have reached rarified natty air, enjoy it. There are precious few humans on the planet who could boast of this milestone. Well done!

[@centaurfitness4049]

I’ve done it with a much higher deadlift and subsequently slower mile. Gotta upload track footage tho

[@blaineuk4159]

I love this challenge a lot. I've also been enjoying the running lifting progression. As an ultra runner who lifts for strength I often get told "you move well for a big guy" or "imagine how good you'd be without the weight lifting" great to see someone else smashing it in both disciplines

[@Ryan-ul7dy]

Why would it be 5:45? 545 is a little under half way between 500 and 600, so shouldn't your goal to hit also be a little under 5:30 given this rule?

[@SirSketchable]

Thats why you gotta shoot for 599lb max and not 600 bc you get 5 mins 99 secons instead of 6 mins lol

[@apathak34]

Math is not his strength

[@saverycalpoly]

I second this. It bothers me. I can’t believe I just saw a man deadlift 545 and then run a solid mile time and Im bitching about the math. I should be focused on giving the man props. But my brain won’t let me get past it.

[@jaredmartin2511]

Yup, very impressive and Alan rocks, but the math works out to a 5:27 mile.

[@TheMaxik]

Damn, Alan needs to do it again

[@wholesomematt]

So insane! I’m training now for a 5 min mile and a 500 deadlift. This gives me strength just watching this. Been a LONG time watcher Alan, stoked to see you constantly evolving and adapting. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@andrewlepper2542]

One thing I immediately noticed about your technique is how explosive you are from the knee up. Clearly all the time you spent doing snatches and cleans. Congrats on what is essentially a PR. I remember when you pulled 600 and you were way bigger then you are currently. Keep it up Alan, you are one of my favorites.

[@gmotwmirl]

Exactly bru, if such a runner actively pidgeon toes (claws concrete) on kick off they stay explosive for longer.

[@martinshoosterman]

It's interesting that you are the 2nd KZbinr I've seen who had a goal like this. Nick Simmons also had the goal for a while of doing a 500lbs deadlift and a 5 minute mile on the same day. for him a 5 minute mile is very doable, but he still hasn't hit the 500lbs deadlift. Congrats on hitting this perfect ballance. My current mile pr is a 7 20, and my deadlift pr is 395. so I've got a while to go.

[@shlok-vp4xr]

I'm aiming for something similar, 500 lbs stiff legged deadlift and 5 minute mile time (in the long run). Check my channel out, I'm going to be posting a lot of my training

[@Nagy.Patrik]

Pete Rubish also started running but i think he stopped now and focuses on a powerlifting meet.

[@JonWetzel]

Seeing this lifting channel that I’ve watched for so long start to seriously excite my inner runner has been very nice

[@samuelnelson8368]

Dang, Alan!! That was a great mile! I’ve been running long distance and just started doing deadlifts again. I’m racing a 10K next weekend, hoping to get sub-7 minutes per mile. Soon after that I think I’ll work on my mile time and building up more strength in the deadlift again!

[@fredrichardson9761]

I have to admit, this new clean cut running Alan takes some getting used to, but man that is an awesome achievement! Gratz clean cut Alan!!! 👍

[@vincerountree3132]

That is ridiculously impressive!! Congrats Alan you are fricken AWESOME!!!

[@fabiobonetta5454]

You look amazing Alan. Keep it up

[@duncan7961]

I really like the idea of matching mile time to deadlift, very satisfying use of numbers. Not at all feasible for me any time soon but I'm going to try and think of something else. Maybe a kilometre time would be a stepping stone goal. And nice job on the run!

[@jjhbball]

Very inspiring! Gonna be changing my routine soon

[@sunbornvistoso]

Math note: if #500=5min and #600=6min, then #545 deadlift corresponds to a 5:27 mile time, not 5:45. Still a great effort! 🎉

[@marksmith1784]

Way to go my man!! That was frigin awesome!

[@bmartin91797]

Great work Alan! Was thinking similar to the comment below in that it should be a 5.45 minute mile (~5:30). Can’t wait to see you keep improving both these numbers. Maybe squat the mile time is coming????

[@lennartauwerder4120]

Your deadlift technique is so nice! Good work

[@lukelovett8805]

Dude I’ve been watching you for a couple of years. You look frickin awesome these days. Keep up the good work!

[@bmstylee]

He's a shell of what he used to be. He was an absolute beast. Alan was thicccck. I bet his body thanks him for it. Your body just doesn't like to carry around a lot of mass regardless if it's fat or muscle.

[@HooDRidEWhiteY]

@@bmstylee Sad but true (the body thing, not the Alan thing).

[@bmstylee]

@@HooDRidEWhiteY he decided to drop weight. Maybe it was a health issue. We don't know. But I can say on my experience going from 290 to 235 has made a huge difference in my life. I'm not as strong but I will take health over bigger numbers.

[@HooDRidEWhiteY]

@@bmstylee I also run 280-290 and feel so good at 245, but haven't ever been able to maintain it over the past 8-10 years. I can get to 242 for competition (PL/SM) but balloon right back up.

[@rossconnor8614]

I was trying to run a 6 minute mile and deadlift 600 lbs a couple summers ago. The deadlift took it out of me and only had enough in the tank to muster a 6:23 mile. Good part was that I came out of the training in close to the best shape of my life.

[@houseofcards4511]

This series has been so great

[@LucasDimoveo]

Now this is a relationship between two athletic feats that I've never heard before!

[@NoName-zv9de]

Awesome content Alan! Watching this makes me miss track runs. It’s too bad there isn’t a public track in the Sacramento area available. Those seeking a track usually have to work around school schedules to gain access. They should build a community center with a track included for public use. Access to a public track is 1 thing I miss while living in Campbell, CA.

[@928guy]

That's awesome, great hype man for the motivation 👍

[@jalapinya]

Very impressive Alan!

[@brad0805]

I'm at 3:04, however...you need to do a mile in 5:30 and not 5:45 because 600lbs would be 6 minute mile. (: BTW, it's been several years since I saw one of your videos, and you are in FANTASTIC shape dude! I finished the video, and well...5:37 is close enough. You could have gotten 5:30 pretty easy.

[@jameshegeman5660]

Agreed!

Possibly due to plate math + converting lbs to kgs to meters and back. ;)

[@truechojin]

Nice man, way to show how many ways there is to train but the best part is that you are forcing a lot of people to think of fitness health. Being able to train a life time should be the goal we all aspire to achieve. Well done man.

[@benj1b]

This is an insane test. To say you "should" be able to do this is a pretty crazy take. More like if you can do this you're in crazy good shape

I think there's also a huge difference between a person who has been an athlete most of his life being employed at a place which requires fitness and a person who finds fitness later in life or has absolutely no background in even school sports.
