My previous record in early February was 310lbs. I was excited about this because it was NEARLY twice my body weight. I would need to hit 320 to clear that monument.
Monday, I set a new record... 325lbs!!!! AND IT FELT GREAT! No weakness in form and no failure. If it weren't for the fact that I had completed 23 Deadlifts (including warm up), I would have continued down the path of adding more weight until I found that failure point. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that next time I will be able to clear 330lbs or more!!!
These last few monster strides I have had ('Helen', Max Deadlift) have been exciting. I believe the increased food intake (I moved from 15 Zone Blocks to 17 Zone Blocks) and an increase in sleep has allowed me to step up and out of my previous stage. I felt stuck for a little while, but now I feel great!
Today will be another 'test' - the main site calls for 'Barbara' (another Benchmark workout like 'Helen'). I will let you know if my claims of improved strength and conditioning are true!!!
