Main lift (deadlifts) were good. The usual story for me, first lift goes great, but after I'm pretty drained and things are hit or miss.

Two years ago this month I did my first real deadlift. 500 pounds is doable on any given day now. lets see what happens in another year.

600 within a year is my prediction.

Good to see that squat progress. And great bump on the rack pulls.

Great stuff, Brute! Amazing progress on the rack pulls. Your deadlifting is just incredible. Squats looking good too.

Great job, buddy.

[RobMoriRB]

5 triples sounds solid work after

[Success]

Really brutal stuff man.

Love the progress
