Deadlift

5-5-5-5-5 reps


The last time I did sets of dead lift I recorded this:
Jan 21, 2010 Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps 225 245 265 285 225 I went into this one with my back tight. I decided not to use the belt. I was hoping my back would loosen up. It didn't and at 285 it started to shoot spasms. I decided to tone it way down.

The best 5-5-5-5-5 I have ever recordedi is:
Aug 12, 2009 225 235 255 275 285

Today was a good day:
Warm up on 135, 225
275
285
295
305
305

Obvously a big PR but even more exciting is my back feels great! Deadlift used to crush it and I would walk around stove up for a couple of weeks. I really wanted to put on 315 for the last round but I decided I had done so well I did not want to spoil it when my back was the most tired. It did get a little tired because I was rushing through lunch time which gave me only about 20 minutes. That was probably a good choice because I was able to have good arch in my back on the last round but may not have with 315. More importantly I am feeling good and can look for 315 next go-a-round.
