Joined a buddy in his gym again today for a deadlift session. We are both on the same 5/3/1 schedule and are both competing in the Dauphin contest in June. We are using this week to determine attempt numbers, this week working up to our projected third attempts (the heaviest one). This will be my last heavy deadlift day until the meet.
Had a warmup then started hitting some numbers,
455X1, 475X1, 500X1, 535X1.(PR).
365X5, 385X5, 395X5.
Trap Bar shrugs 185X12X3.
35lb PR today!I'm pretty sure the 535 was a good lift, I didnt hitch and locked it out. My buddy couldnt tell if my knees were locked out cause I had baggy shorts on, but I'm pretty sure it was good. Nice to see all this work pay off. Obviously a week off (deload week) didnt hurt my progress at all. Maybe had I not went so heavy before this attempt I could have got another 10-15lbs, I dont know. Either way I'm pretty happy with that.
I planned on doing some more assistance work but I was done after the deadlifts. The next two weeks I will focus on some deficits and rack pulls and speed work. I'm pretty sure I will take the prescribed rest day tomorrow, but I will see how I feel.
Bench Thursday working up to projected third attempt.
