That's a nice pull for deads and congrats on the PR. I'm even more impressed by your 325 rows!!! Something seems kinda weird though. For some reason I just find it odd that you can row soo much and your dead isn't as exceptional. Don't get me wrong that's a solid weight your pulling

Don't find it odd... I haven't done deads for more than 3 months... lol -- just never did them... 3 months ago, I was doing 225 for 1 on deads...

I've been doing rows my whole training life... be it dumbbell or barbell... I've always been able to get around 225-275lbs on it... for 4 or so... so really, it's gone from 275-325 in the past what??? 3 months??? I think the deads have helped to strengthen my rows...

Nice PR!

What do the face pulls work? It that like a super-high row or something? The range of motion seems rather small...

Well, my upper back is sore in a way that it is never sore in today... so... it must have worked..

Thats a nice row C.

Ah not doing them, that would explain the closeness of the numbers. Like I said before a 400+ deadlift is nothing to snuff at.
