April 24, 2013 Deadlifts

I was really looking forward to deadlifting tonight, and that's something that I have not felt in a really long time.  Tonight I worked up to a top set of 6.  I was thinking that 455 would probably be it but 405 did it.  I have no idea what my raw numbers are so I am trying to use my geared numbers to figure things out.  I did some rack pulls next and was really wanting to handle 700.  I was doing sets of 5 on these and when I got to 605 I knew it was it.  So, in my mind I had definitely been a little high on  my estimates but I got some good work in.  Pull downs, shrugs, and up-downs finished the night.
Mindy was following me and she had a very good night.  She had a real nice set of 5 on the rack pulls of 355 and then I put 425 with some reverse average bands and she got a real easy fast set of 5.  She will pull big at her next meet.
