Deadlifts

Deadlifts:


135 x 6 225 x 5
315 x 3
405 x 1
495 x 1
535 x .75 ( maybe about 5 - 6" from locking it out )
535 x .5 ( urg, it seems like with deads I never get a missed 1st attempt on the second attempt )

I'm not happy with my deadlifts. It seems from talking to others, my deadlift technique is closer to right than my bench technique ( I'm not really sure I agree ), but benching is progressing and deadlifting is not. I think part of it is that my technique is never going to look like other people because I'm taller than most ( if not all ) powerlifters an my arms are probably a foot longer than most powerlifters. Oh well.



Dumbell rows
130 x 6
150 x 4
130 x 6
These felt really light, I think mostly because the grip work I've been doing. I used to have a hard time keeping a good hold on the 150's, that wasn't an issue in the slightest today.

Couple sets of CGM with the SSB
Couple sets of pull throughs.


I got my Captains of Crush #1 gripper. It's pretty easy to close, even after heavy deads. Here's a video...
