SHORT STORY, im 150 deadlifting 315 hell of a tuesday!
LONG STORY below for those who like a good read.
yesterday i went into the gym for a normal back day, the usual of lat pulldowns, pullups, barbell rows etc etc. i decided i would do deadlifts first and get them out of the way and get me ready for the other exercises. well that is when all hell broke lose and i decided it was time to see if i could move to plates as that was a goal of mine to do 225.
did a warm up of reverse rows, throw a plate on the bar do 12 reps put it down. next set toss on a 25 10 reps, look in the mirror and its time to see if i can pull two plates. set it up and killed it 6 clean reps. a friend that i’ve meet through the gym was doing deads as well and incouraged me to pull with a 25, set it up killed it clean pull. my friend said it was great form no bouncing or jerking and said just go for 3 plates, now i was happy with 275 and it felt good. so i said F it lets go for 3 plates *315* now this is where mind games can come into play i rested a good 2 minutes and just kept thinking easy easy it will be easy, set myself up good form great pull no jerking and bouncing again locked it out. F YES!!!!!
3 PLATES felt amazing, next up is 4 plates and ill be wearing a belt for anything double my weight, all of this was done with no belt and i can say form was top notch as its something i care about when lifting, so will see what a belt can do for me.
