Since I'm working from home this afternoon, I took an hour off to go do deadlifts. After a 10 minute warm-up on the Precor, I did a couple of light warm-up sets. Then jumped into the work sets: 6x325, 5x365, 4x405 and 2x445. 445 was my previous 1RM. I was feely froggy so I decided to try a new personal best and managed to squeeze out a single rep at 455. Thought I would document it with a photo (taken after I finished the rep lest I jinx it). Now I officially need another set of 45s for Christmas.
I'm Alden - 35 year old husband, father and busy professional. After years of neglect, I've decided to try and recapture part of my youth by losing weight and regaining my strength. Through a combination of dieting and lifting I hope to be in a position to enter a powerlifting meet in December of 2011 and not completely embarass myself. Hopefully it will be a rewarding and interesting year.
