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.
