Couldn't resist... Deadlift PR

[Zander1983]

Despite planning to go for it tomorrow, I pulled up very well from my soccer game yesterday and felt like I was ready.

Deadlift
132 x 3
176 x 3
220 x 3
265 x 1
287 x 1
309 x 1
331 x 1
353 x 1

Squats
154 x 5 x 5

I'm amazingly rapt that I shattered my previous deadlift PR (298 back in March... my training has improved out of sight since then), especially since my recent soccer form has been less than satisfactory

Interestingly, I only own 353 pound worth of weight that fits on my Olympic barbell! Time to go out and buy some more I may've attempted to add more weight if I owned it...

Continuing to add 10kg (22 pounds) to my squat each workout. Still incredibly easy, but that's not going to change how I go about it.

VERY impressive man!!! When I finish playing soccer all I want to do is go to the buffet and stuff myself...then sleep...right there.

Thanks b.

I 'stuff' myself with Gatorade during the game, Gatorade and whey post-game, and all the solid carbs and protein I can fit down my throat when I get home from the arena.

Its probably fair to say that my small body has it a lot easier when it comes to both the game and recovering from it, than your's does!

Currently I do 353 x 10 dl, is this ok or even good at 228lbs bfold? Am confident I will take that up to 400 x 10 by end of the year.

Great overall progress too btw

Did I read that right?!? 55 pound PR?!?

WOOOHOOO!!!

PR Karma for you!

 

[Lee]

nice work dude, im right with you, my current dead pr is 350

 

[nanotitan]

55lbs in a couple of months! that's great!
what kind of routine are you on?

 

[Zander1983]

Thanks guys

Pull/Push/Legs routine. I perform a 5 or 3 rep max effort lift at the start of each workout, followed by 5x5, 3x5 or 8x3s depending on the exercises I'm using thereafter. Always and only big compound movements and olympic lifts. I've been posting a lot of my workouts recently, so have a look at them for a sample. I have also been eating a lot.

Solid pull. Get some more weights and see what you are really capable of.

Cheers,

definately a good feeling.

 

[Zander1983]

definately a good feeling.

Indeed.

I brought the weights and power rack a year ago and have made nice progress since then, with the best of that being in the last two months or so.
