5rm PR, but not very pretty. Had to walk it way out due to some moron doing something stupid in the cage.



Weight is hovering around 173.5lbs, for a total of 6.5lbs in six weeks lost so far. Still hitting some PRs, but not making much progress physique wise.

xRM PRs aren't meant to be pretty, solid work imo.

Thanks man!

man those shoes are sexy....good lift!

Oh ****, stronger than me now. I need to get back on my game I guess.

Wait, how is your squat so much higher than your DL? Maybe this has been addressed before. Good lord your squat seems sick compared to your other lifts.

thanks guys, the shoes are pretty sweet to squat and clean in. They get the ladies wild as well.

WIM deficiency when it comes to deadlifting. I think my all time PR is 345x5. I had the hamstring tear recently which stopped me deadlifting much, and now Im getting back on the wagon, the 315 was reasonably easy as a first heavy set. I'll try to move back up aggressively to get it consistent with my squat, I need to do a lot more. I'm still thinking about the best way to do this, would happily take any thoughts. Gotta stop being a damned pussy when it comes to this lift, but I find it way to easy to half ass it at the end of the workout, if i even bother.

Maybe pretending that you're doing squats will help, seems like you attack those pretty well.

Hamstring tear more than explains it though, but if you're squatting like that right now, I'm sure DL is gonna go up, up, up.

have you tried sumo DL's?

No, I haven't tried pulling sumo. Is it worth investigating? I don't need to lift "more" weight per se, but I do need to get stronger at the movement.
