New Deadlift PR! By a lot!

3×110, 120
1×140, 160, 172.5 (new PR), 182.5kg!!!

pm
20kg Kb 200 swings
60:00 exercise bike.

Felt like breaking a record today. Warmup took forever and 110kg felt heavy. It always does, why? Anyway, went for it. 172.5 was 2.5 higher than my last 1RM but it felt easy. I wanted to do 180kg but that was 396lbs. and if I was gonna do it, i wanted it to be over 400lbs. So 2×1.25kg plates made it 401.5lbs/182.5kg. Went much better than expected. Was a little delirious at the end.

After the PR, I realized I don’t yet know that I’m doing. I don’t really understand how to lift heavy yet. This lift today felt completely different than anything I’ve ever done. I felt tighter than ever and for once nothing felt strained afterwards. Somehow this lift felt like a first for me. Hopefully first of many to come.

Been putting squats together with deadlifts to get the major lifts in more than once a week. I also like the balance this brings: deads work the hammies more and squats work the quads more. I definitely need to squat heavy 2x a week. Once just doesn’t cut it for me.

squat
5×72.5kg, 82.5
2x10x90kg
1x13x90kg
deadlift
3×120, 130, 137.5kg
30:00 airdyne

All lifts felt very strong today. Looks like Juggernaut Method (JM) is doing well. First time doing an AMRAP set with 531 as assistance and I got 13. Could have done 1-2 more but wanted some left for the deads.

Looking at seeing Dream Theater when they come. New album is pretty good:
