1x485 (raw, PR again)

Just to show that things do go wrong sometimes. I loaded what I thought was “485” and started to pull, but the left side came up while the right side remained glued to the floor. Puzzled, I rested for a moment, then tried again, and the same thing happened. I wondered if I was having a stroke, or if I’d done something weird to my right side that was making it weak.

NOPE, I was just a fucking moron that had added a 45 and a 5 to one side, but just a 5 on the other.

I then properly loaded 485 and pulled it twice without incident.

Tonight’s achievement of note - these were all beltless. I’d have to check to be sure, but I think that’s the most I’ve ever pulled without a belt.

Camera ended up a little off center, but it’s good enough, you can see the lift.

You made that look easy. Well done

Ok, on that particular lift I could tell you struggled a bit at the top. You’re very smooth coming off the floor. As soon as you pull, it moves. Hopefully I can make 600 look that easy.
