With all that banana bread he’s eating, he might shit himself in the process. There might be video.

5.15.20 SGSS W12 - Lower Body Pay Day
WARM UP
Dynamic warm up outside including a build-up run and some jumps. I’m not going into this without being primed.
SQUAT

185 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 1
315 x 1
You might wonder why I would squat before maxing on deads. The answer is that my legs just feel better when I do. I dropped the volume and went ahead and hit my top weight of the year. 
DEADLIFT

325 x 3
365 x 1
415 x 1
455 x 1
505 x 1

That’s definitely some Hulk technique on cleans.
That 505 didn’t look too problematic, is what I am saying. Nice.

Thanks! Hulk strength is good but apparently it’s not always pretty. The deadlift actually caused me to grunt/growl/yell a bit at lockout. Those last couple of inches were harder than they looked.

I decided there’s no way to say “last couple of inches” in a safe way around here. I just made sure to avoid making it too bad. I could’ve said “Those last couple of inches were hard to pull out.”
You beautiful animal, you. Nice job, man!

Great job on the PR. Looks like you had a bit more in the tank too.

I think I had a little more in me, but not much. We’ll find out in about 13 weeks as long as I don’t run into any problems. I plan to start up a new cycle of SGSS the week of May 25th. I have bicycle training all week next week for work so I don’t know if I’ll get my lifting in. We’ll see how much energy I have in the evenings.

Squats before deadlift PR…

Looking at the speed and that it didn’t slow down I’d say another 20-50 lbs.
