So, still only 1 (slow) rep at 460. Not positive why (previous 1RM was 465), but I appear to be stuck there. Even though I got the lift, I am not satisfied with only 1 so I’m planning to bump my numbers down a bit to blast past 460 within a couple cycles.
Just some jump rope with Ian at home. We had fun.

No assistance work. You may have noticed a gap in my training. I had injured my shoulder during my last deadlift session and felt I needed to let it mostly heal before continuing. It felt good to get back in this morning, but, still a bit of tightness in the shoulder. Got through my lifts, but decided to call it afterwards to play it safe.Will see how it feels today and decide if I continue training, or need more down time.
Also, a quick update on the home gym. It’s coming together quite well and I’m getting very excited to start training at home. The gym I go to requires a 30-day written notice to cancel (didn’t know that), but went ahead and cancelled today. I’ll have mine all put together before these 30-days are up, I’ll have $80 (had a family membership) back in my pocket each month, and I’ll be able to train at home!
Bought a bunch of weight off a very nice man on Craigslist tonight. Ian (my little strongman) went with me to help load the truck. Even got plate trees and he threw in some paint since I’ll be doing a little clean up. Progress! Almost ready to train at home. Heck yes.

I really wanted 3 reps, and the first 2 felt very strong, but on the third I had grip issues with my right hand. Overall I am very pleased with this pull though; 500 was my 1RM in December, and as you may have seen in the video it was slow. First rep went up a lot quicker, and I added a rep. Progress.
