Thursday-2-9-12- ME Lower… last heavy deadlift before the meet…
Had to drive up to Salisbury to lift today because I broke the floor in my garage and can’t deadlift heavy until I get a platform made.

36inchesx3
40inchesx3x1- This was pretty close to a max, first one landed pretty good, second one my righ foot missed the box, third one was pretty smooth.
Here we go…

315x4x5
405x5
495x5
585x3
675x1
Added Suit and chalk
765x1
Added Belt
855x1<~~~ broke the sound barrier
935x1<~~~ 15lb PR ever with reverse bands, 60lb pr with the set-up I was using today. Didn’t hold it at lockout because my hand is taped so that a callous that exploded didnt get AIDS all over the weight room. Other than that wardrobe malfunction, the pull was easy and I hand some more in the tank. Was VERY happy with the PR so I shut it down
Just suit bottoms- 715x6x1
Stopped there because I feel fucking awesome. More abs and grip later.
Benched the Fat Bar 100 times
