You ever hear the term "moving the goalposts"? Because you are a TEXTBOOK example. Early on you argued that your deadlifts were locked out. Enough people called you out so you changed your argument (moved the goalposts) to "I don't care if they weren't locked out, I go by my own standards."
I like your style. I'm about to go break Usain Bolt's 100m sprint record. The trick is, I'm only going to run 10 feet. Catch you in the winner's circle with your 600 lb deadlift.
So you just make up your own rules on something and then compare it to people following the established rule set of a sport? That's like someone dunking on an 8' basketball hoop comparing themselves to actual basketball players.

I've gotten lazy about logging in this thread. I skipped the gym for about two weeks, then only worked up to 405 on pulls for some reps for a couple weeks. The last two weeks have been dy-no-mite though. Pulled the two heaviest triples I have all year.

Notes: Deads felt heavier than I would've liked. Been working a lot this week and haven't been getting enough sleep, got the reps I wanted though so I guess I can't complain too much.
100% agree with what Jim and MOM said, CoolHand. To add on to that, your training max for a given cycle does not have to be completely representative of your actual max. Increase your training max each cycle by the recommended poundages, and do your best to hit rep PR's on your final set each...
