Squaterday

Another good day in the power cage. No new ground at the top end, as my left knee was squawking on the heavy stuff, but really happy with the progression sets, and super stoked to get a single at 4 plates with no belt or knee wraps.

Delts & Triceps

Barbell presses were not too bad today, got back to my PR single of 180 with no spotter. Dumbbell presses were a little off, although I did throw up the 80's for some measly reps for the first time in quite a while.

Power Friday

Holy Fuck!

I dunno what happened today, but I had the most amazing deadlift session ever. Got 4 plates for EIGHT reps on my way up with no belt, got my first ever double at 5 plates, and maxxed out at 525, which is only 5 lbs less than my best no straps DL ever.

Super goddam happy; and y'all know how rare that is.

Didn't have time to do as much volume on the leg press, but I did pick up 2 reps on the last set at 1,020 lbs.

Leg Press

(includes sled weight; sticker says the sled weighs 118 lbs so I threw a 2.5lb plate on it and I'll call it 120)

All reps on all sets slow, controlled, and right to the backstop.

570 x 10
660 x 10

Trained all 5 days this week so no lifting this weekend.

Happy Friday, kids. :D

Thanks for stopping by man.

Here's the vids, and yes I know my form needs work, but still some heavy-ass deadlifting.

Killer effort!!! Way to smash shit!!!

That 525 was damn near straight legged. You did better at getting the hips down on your 405 set.

If you had done a ramp up who knows what you would have pulled! 550? 570?

I'll repeat POB about the hips. Just working on that one part of my lift, I was able to go from 530 to 570 in about 2 1/2 months. Still struggling o get it right. I know when I finally get it down I'll be pulling even more.

Nice work.

Thanks guys. I know my form can be somewhat brutal; especially on the heavier sets. I'm working on it.

I have no problems keeping a nice straight back on 400+ squats, so no idea why it's so hard for me on the deads.
