Deadlift, o dreaded deadlift
135 x 10
225 x 3
315 x 1
445 x 1 -- a grind, but way better than my recent failures. I was starting to get nervous about having a very pathetic showing at the meet. Hopefully now a PR isn't out of the question.
(I only own 6 45lb plates, so the plate load is three 45's, two 25's, a ten and a five on each side.)
More deadlifts
405 x 1
405 x 1
365 x 5 -- with straps
I'll stop here so I can hit a reasonably heavy squat session in a few days. Overall, I'm very pleased.
In case the lockout on my deadlift looks odd to anyone... My first knee surgery when I was 39 left me with a right knee that doesn't bend or extend to full range of motion. In meets, I've explained (and demonstrated) this to the judges and it's never been a big deal. So just in case the lift looks unfinished, that's all the farther that leg locks. That's in case you're wondering.
