Well. I deadlifted.

This is my heaviest pull in quite some time. My body feels funky; hammies are off, lower back is still only about 95%. 225 felt heavy and I thought it was going to be a crap session. I kept moving forward, focusing on my form.

495 felt fast. 545 felt easy. 585 was easy. 635 was strong, although tentative.

Another step forward. I love the deathlift. Understatement.

That's the way to do it, your numbers will move back up. 635 is a good strong pull for a regular unpeaked pull.

Nice session dude.

Great session Steve.

Thanks men. I need to sit down and hammer out a plan. I need focus right now.

Great going big beard.

Way to push thru to the real meat and potatoes part of the session Steve. Gotta be a treat when 600 lbs feels easy at any time let alone when your not 100% Any idea when you might try for a PR again?

Great workout BtB! Glad your back is starting to be nice to you again!

A lot of little niggles present today. My right wrist has hurt the past week, so I couldn't take my usual clean grip on the fronts. So I tried a cross-arm grip and promptly cramped something in my right shoulders. Then had a sharp, searing pain occur in my left shin as I was warming up. FML.

ANYWAY, session turned out decent in the end. Got a very nice, very deep front squat. Close stance, bounced off the calves and very upright. Lovely. I just need to now, find 50kg from somewhere...
