Strength and mobility log for Wednesday, May 21st

Rolled around on a foam roller and the orb at the Y.

I had been planning to test my deadlift, but I was feeling tight. After the rolling around I felt pretty good so I started warming with 135#

I did 185# for a couple of reps, the bumped it to 225# for one, 275# for one and 295#.

They all went up well, and i was just below my current PR.  Decided to go big or go home.

3 plates.  315#.  No problem.  Dropped it at the top.  Decided to try again. Did it again, but this time lowered it slowly.  No problem.

Asked Dave Rapai if I should call it a day or go heavier.  He said: go heavier.

So I threw on 10 more pounds.  My back wasn't that straight, but I was able to stand it up at 325#.  PR by 25#.

Couldn't be happier.  55# away from my way back original goal of dead lifting 2x my body weight. (which at the time as only 175# instead of the current 190#-195#).

Progress update of revised weightlifting goals. Derived from intermediate level for my body weight (at the time the goals were set!) at www.exrx.net
