A 500 lb deadlift has been a goal for some time now and I’m very happy to have met that goal this morning.
Having failed the attempt previously, I decided to take a different approach. Before, I would go through all my 5/3/1 lifts, then attempt it; but I think the problem is that I would be spent by the time I got there. This time I decided to warm up, then pull singles. This approach worked for me.
Here is a video of the pull. It was a bit slower than I would like, but was consistently moving in the right direction.
*sorry about the noise towards the end. haha.
This was a good way to end 2010.
If you’re interested, here is the program that continues to get me to my lifting goals – I highly recommend Wendler’s 5/3/1
Thanks to Darren (Coach) for the continued input and motivation.
And thank you Dawn for putting up with me ![]()
Good work. Glad the “singles” approach did the trick.
Thank you friend, it worked perfectly. It came up a bit slow, but was very happy to get this one.
