Take it where you can get it

Deadlifts cured my tendinitis. Why? I have no idea.

It was very weird, most of the time dips mess my elbows up a bit.

Notes: Not sure if I want to keep doing the heavy singles and doubles or focus more on the sets of 5. I felt like I could have gotten 2x5 with 465 if I hadn't of done the 495s. On another note though the singles felt very easy and smooth, a little grip issue on the second pull but still got it. Rip a callous early tonight on singles, that usually waits till the sets of 5.

Had intended to go for reps on andersons, but I had this pain right above the quad on my left side whenever I would go for a second rep. Stung pretty bad, wasn't there for the first rep or once I was don with the set.

Switched to sidebends tonight instead of situps because of that sting, plus I feel it is overall better.

I tell you what MAB, that is one incredible deadlift session. I don't mean that lightly. With this kind of work you will easily be hitting 600 sooner than you think.

Thanks BtB that means a lot!

I will chasing the big 600 this year, but hoping to get it by Aug 1 so I can say I DL 600 before turning 17!

Also these days aren't to bad, the doms suck but the actual training is really fun. Plus I feel my deadlift responds very well to this kind of volume.

great deadlifting mab.

i hope to make a push for 500lb deadlift in the next few months.

jealous you are already there


get after that 600 lift.
no doubts you will reach it before August

I agree with BtB, those pulls are massive! And 10x415? Beastly!!

Great lifting in here Mab. Can't believe you haven't turned 17 yet with those numbers... and on that note I pity the person who has to pay your grocery bill

[Off Road]

One strong deadlift session. Nice!

[Squatter]

Simply outstanding lifting Mab!! I'm so thrilled for you to be able to say 5 PPS Deadlift was relatively easy. Following that up with some squats and rack pulls is like icing on the cake. Inspring for me to say the least to smash 500 this summer at my meet.

dude you are only 16???

thats makes it all the more impressive in my book.

hats off to you young man.
