So I did work out earlier in the week but I don't really remmeber what it was so I just felt like I: would go to the last half of the week. There has only been a handful of times where I have deadlifted over 500 pounds. And Friday was one of them... and it went up easier than ever before. It felt like it weighed 455lbs!

Week 61 - PR

 

I tied my snatch PR w/ 235. It has been 14 months since I have even attampted that weight! I also got under 255 but didn't lock out hard enough and dropped it in my head lol.

 

I also tied my power clean PR w/ 285. Which I also have not attempted for 14 months.
