One long journey over; another begins…
Finally. I ‘officially’ pulled (deadlift) over 500lbs this afternoon fairly easily - raw, no wraps, straps, or belt, just chalk. I’ve been working at this for a couple years. I have more in me. Knowing how ‘easy’ the lift was today, I know I could have pulled more. My shattered finger was a setback but I’ve come back much bigger and much stronger post-surgery. Next goal: 550lbs. I’d like to get it before Christmas this year.

Wow! That’s awesome. I life heavy (for a female) but I feel the tightiness in my lower back. I don’t feel like I can lift any more weights. At the same time, I’m not trying to do bodybuilding ( I compete as a Figure competitor), I feel so strong that I’d like to see if I can lift heavy.
I lift alone and maybe, that’s why I hestitate going any higher.
Good job.
