Well it wasn't pretty, but I did it. My previous best dead lift was 235lbs. I don't really remember, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't pretty either.
Today I lifted 245lbs. A small step towards my goal of lifting two times my body weight (350lbs).
At this weight I lose integrity of my spine. Both lumbar and thoracic. My back is the weakest link.
Hips hams, quads and even glutes are there, but my back just isn't keeping up.
Isabelle got some footage she can show to Francois, maybe he'll have some suggestions.
For now I'll be happy with a new 1 rep max, even if my back isn't very happy with me at all.
I'm proud of you - as long as you don't hurt your back again!
