Maybe fthis is not picking, but why not put on the 2/.5sz and make it 500?
Of course this is that difficult pr, like 400/405 , just a five lb difference between the plate pr and 100 lb pr.[/quote]
As soon as I got 495 up, I cussed myself for not doing exactly that…Oh well, still have something to work towards. I have my first meet in March, hoping to make my second pull attempt 500# plus then go for broke
Count me in.
-6 foot; 196lbs; running 5/3/1 Full Body.
-Haven’t maxed for a while but previous best pull is 195kg / 430lbs.
-Goals for the year include a 220kg pull (with better form - have the hips rising problem), so may as well push it out to 227.5 and hit the 500lb mark!
170x8. New PR for me on 5/3/1. Puts my 1RM around 215kg. I find that my heavy rep maxes are actually a good indicator of my progress. It may even be a little low, but that was a good PR for me.
Pulled last Saturday and got 425, it went up pretty good, was going to do for more but it didn’t want to end on a negative note. Took a deload this week and will ramp up again. Will be doing a meet on March 31st. Hope to get close to 495 for then.
Did some heavy deads for the first time since August (hammy injury). It’s right where I left it, got 465 very smooth today (475 is my all time PR). Tried 495 and it moved fast off the floor, but I felt the tension on the hammy and hesitated a bit and set it down before I really got straining. I think I got it, and will take video of next attempt.
