Deadlift PR After 5 Wk Break

So, i pulled 450lbs today, a new PR for after being out for gym for 5 weeks. WTF?

You were out of the gym for 5 weeks. WTF?

The mods rule. Be lazy and type a short ass title ans they fill in the blanks! Like having predictive text forum-ized!

Unfortunately you dont need to deadlift much to increase your deadlift

Also a good wtf. I travelled home for xmas for 2 n half weeks after being away for a year so didn’t manage to get to the gym, plus i was reluctant to pay 2 months membership and only use it for a week either side of my holiday. Yes i’m cheap.

I think you should make a thread about it.

i was shocked coz my previous was 415 so a 35lb gain after 5 weeks off is pretty good goin i think.

You should only lift 10 times a year, at this rate you will deadlift 700+ by 2011.

Sounds like a plan lol…

and by 2011 I mean 2012, I am stuck in 2010.

Maybe thee weight i gained over xmas has something to do with it…

You trained before that, then let your muscles recover while eating a ton of food. WTF indeed… :wink:

it was fun lol.
