Best Deadlift Session Ever

Yeah, the title sums it up. I hit a gym PR for my deadlift training today. It felt great, and I think the thing that helped the most was videotaping the singles and watching after each to see what I needed to adjust. That gave me the added benefit of getting the gym PR on video for all to see!

A1. Mobility

B1. Deadlift

8 x 135#
5 x 225#
2 x 275#
1 x 315#
1 x 345#
1 x 375# This felt really easy, so I went for the 405#
1 x 405# I had more in me, but I resisted temptation after this

Video! Technology is amazing.

The deadlifts felt great. I've pulled more than 405# at competitions, but I've never gotten over 400# in the gym. I could have stopped here and not regretted it, but what fun would that be?

D1. Shoulder Prehab

Overall a great session, and a great way to kick off the week and the new training cycle.
