Hit a PR on deadlift today: 455 lbs.
Online 1RM calculators had me estimated at 460 lb max, so I tried for 465 and failed, but came back and did 455 lbs.
Pretty happy with it overall. Not sure if I’ll hit 500 by the end of summer, a goal I set for myself about 3 months ago, but I could at least probably get close.
Went ahead and did Week 5 of my 5/3/1 journey, still fatigued from testing my 1RM on deadlift. Switched up the order of my 3-day routine to be Squat-Bench-Deadlift on W-Th-F instead of my normal Deadlift-Bench-Squat on M-T-W.
So on my AMRAP sets this week, targeting 3+ reps:
Squat: 4 x 320 lbs. Lower back was still fatigued from max effort deadlifts 2 days before, and I felt myself starting to get stuck at the bottom of the lift.
Bench: 9 x 170 lbs. Felt pretty good, making good progress on bench.
Deadlift: 3 x 365 lbs. Definitely still recovering from my 1RM on Monday.
Damn dude that’s pretty great, congrats. How often are you deadlifting?
Once a week, usually. Just slow and steady progress over the last few months, probably the most consistent I’ve ever been over any 6-month period in the 25+ years since I started going to the gym.
