Yea that’s about the same strength I was at when I moved to 405.
Also I have a vid of 405x3 and you can compare the effort to the 455 and it should be very clear which is which :-P[/quote]
were they from the same day? meaning was the 405x3 a warmup precursor to the 405x1? because it looks like you couldve got more out of the 405 vid if you pushed.
I’ve been focussing on fitness and dropping weight as of late (to compete in judo) so I haven’t recently been expecting to do any new PR’s. However last month I managed a 165kg front squat which is a personal best for me and I think I should be doing 170-175kg soon. I’ve also been benching 155kg pretty regularly now and have come close to locking out 160. That isn’t an PR for me but it’s better than anything I’ve done in the past 5 years.

i like doing Deads in the moderate ranges. its like you do a couple and then you get anabolic super-powers and it helps you get the rest out.
that and i noticed playing good music like deathmetal type shit, helps.
i never really listen to headphones when i lift but then i put on Dig by Mudvayne and smashed through my old numbers, probaly scared some people too. which is one of my subgoals.
i remember we were doing this PT training thing at Bally’s and we got in pairs and trained each other for a session. i was doing RDL’s, i didnt do a warmup walked up to 305 did it x6. then i was all amped up like “thats what i do this for, i want small children to run and cry when they see me walking down the street.” [/quote]
Mudvayne are now considered deathmetal-type music?
R.I.P. Death Metal, I will never forget you.
Though I agree with music sort of helping.
I don’t really hear it during the lifting as such… It’s just sort of blocking out the rest of the world and you get a hint of doublebass/blastbeat here and there 
howd i know some metal-head was gonna chime in?
idk wth Mudvayne is, i know that song gets me amped up and thats all i really care about.
Mr Rogers is good too and so is Good God.
hit 385x5 today on the deadlift.
cant say my other sets went so well though, that first one really drained me.
