New deadlift Personal best.

[dabuffguy]

So, today was chest day, and after doing chest, I still felt like I had a bunch of energy SO I figured I'd go for DL max.

I warmed up with 225X12 then 315 X12 and one more at 405 X7. I was feeling absolutely charged, I've done 455 before 3X and I figured I'd go straight for 5 plates. So, I slap on 5 plates a side and I pull like a son of a bitch, nearly crapping my intestines out and Pulled 495lbs once! Granted it's not absolueley insane weight, I just thought I'd share because I feel like a king today.

And, so you know, I have only been deadlifting since January, and January being my first time deadlifting my whole life.

Congrats, you could probably add more weight to the bar if you didn't do so much volume on the way up to 5 plates.

Cheers!

Probably true, but I played a baseball game saturday and was sore in the glutes, and did quite a few warm up sets to ensure my legs were warm. I'm gonna go for 515 in a couple weeks.

I wish I had a video, but I did it on a whim.
