The above is yesterday's 2nd Deadlift - 350 lbs. for a new NJ State Record. The previous record was mine, 345 lb.
The effort wasn't a max but still a tough lift. I decided to pull again in 3 weeks and see how I do at another fed's meet in PA near where I have family.
Took it easy all day, warmed up w/ 225 x 3, 255 and 285 x 1, pulled a 315 first and 350 second, said thank you to everyone, and went home.
Today, just did a few goblet squats w/ 24 kg to loosen up - trying to decide if I like them with the bell upside down, as shown in Mark Toomey's picture in Easy Strength, or right side up, which is how I usually do them. Probably good to do them both ways. Today, did 3 upside down and 3 right side up, and my upper arms were shaking by the end - guess I'm still tired from yesterday.
Walk 3 miles - ah, feels great
Zercher DL: 135 x 1 - ugly, 1 again, this time the best I've done in a while. Have to focus on stretching hamstrings maximally to get the best start, and to drive the elbows as in a front squat to keep the bar in place.
24 kg: swing, 5R+5L+5R+5L, no break
Onward and Upward
