We had a max deadlift test scheduled for today and my warm-ups felt really sharp and nice. I pulled 585 with perfection and wanted to hit 675 as my final lift but it was not to be. I told the guys it was a because of my freakishly low bodyfat levels. But two of my partners hit lifetime PR’s again. The kid pulled 535 (a 70lb improvement since Jan) and Pop Pop Bob pulled a gut busting 600lbs (a 100lb improvement in 12 months).
135x2x8
225x6
315x5
405x3
495x2
585x1
635xmiss!! What?? But at least my deltoids and traps looked ripped and FANTASTIC!
480x3x5- stopped each rep dead and re-set each one
I really think the lack of heavy squatting is making my legs progressively weaker which is killing my deadlift. That’s why I think I feel so great on my warm-ups and then hit a wall when the weight gets a little heavy.

Hammer seated shrug: 5x15

Wide grip lat pull-downs: 5x15

All our new “Triangle of Domination” Shirts and “Sun’s Out, Guns Out” tank tops arrived today so I have been busy processing the pre-orders that came in and folding all afternoon. They came out great! Pick one up today. http://ironsport.merchanttribestores.com/
