>Nor will you deadlift 500 lbs

Maybe not 500lbs but somebody could certainly eventually deadlift 400lbs from 3x8 minutes once a week, as long as they keep it intense and keep increasing the weight. I say that as someone who can deadlift more than 400lbs after many years of practicing around 30 minutes/week. If you're lifting hard, a week is barely enough time for the body to recover anyway.

1. You are not counting warm up. 2. You are not counting specialization? What, do you just dl? What about bench,row,squat,ohp,PU? 3. What about stretching and other maintenance? 4. Diet, sleep, etc.

I believe you, but you are really confusing people who don't know what it takes like the poster above.
