This week was supposed to be a deload week before I start my new routine next week. 3x8's of medium weight. Today was lower body: deads, front squats, good mornings and shrugs.

Well, I started the deadlifts. Was gonna do 3x5 for 250 or so. The first set went nice, and I said, "what the hell" and tossed a couple of quarters ont here for 275. Did 5. Put 10 more on each side, 5 more. I was gonna put anotehr couple dimes on there and realized it was almost another plate. So three plates. Did three with room in the tank for more.

I know I shoulda stopped there, it's a deload week. But I was feeling it. My former max was 325. Put some tens on there (335) Pulled it no prob. Two more dimes (355). Pulled it! Threw a quarter on (after taking the 10's off, of course). Pulled 365! Failed on 375.

Felt great tho'!

Did three sets of medium shrugs and called it a (great) day...

Thats awesome congrats man. I hope your lower back forgives you in the morning

Great job! Always easier hitting PR's when you're lifting OPTIMALLY!

You could've easily got the 375 if you weren't so exhausted from all the previous sets.

Oh, I know. I might try for 400 tonight.

j/k

You mean 405

Plus, when I was re-reacking the weights (like all good boys and girls should do!), the 45's felt like 45-cent pieces instead of 45 lbs....
