Makes sense, now that I have a baseline I’m going to be playing around with 385-415 and working on technique, I think that would probably serve me best as I am a heavily back focused deadlifter, always have been (probably shitty technique early on).
@littlesleeper ha, it sure felt sexy for a minute! You know…til I looked in the mirror and all haha
@painter27 Thanks, man! Appreciate the support!
@guineapig I harnessed the power of the guineapig in an attempt to pull my feet through the floor.
@lord_humongous Honestly, I’m not really sure, I busted my hamstring up a few months ago and couldn’t pull at all for quite awhile and really focused on squatting, I think for me it has just been getting stronger in general rather than any specific approach, although pulling less seems to be conducive to deadlift gains for me. Also, what is on? Are we racing? Because I’m slow, although I can go downhill fast, finish a box of donuts fast, or a medium pizza, haha
@cdmac24 I told all y’all I was getting my insta-hoe game on point! Gonna go home and tell my wife, “We ain’t gotta live like this no mo’!” haha in all honestly that feels pretty cool, thanks for pointing it out! I don’t have a tweeter machine so I would’ve missed it!

Meh, wanted to work in that 70-80% range, was looking at working sets of 6-8 with 150, but 5s was the technical failure point, not super surprised as my stabilizer muscles were shot from heavy deads and back day.

This is me declaring that we’re rivals. I’m clearly Ash and you’re punk ass Gary. If you don’t get the reference then we can’t be friends

What is that?! Lord of the Rings? Star Wars? 
haha in all honesty I did have to look it up, is that pokemon or anime or something?
Are we going to be squat rivals? Because I’m in serious need of an arch nemesis haha
Yeah it’s just my inner childhood nerd showing itself. It’s Pokémon lol.
Yeah let’s have a little friendly contest. Let’s see if you can catch my squat first, or if I can catch your deadlift first. They’re both about a 50-60lb difference. Loser has to do something terrible, like a 20 rep set of 315lb squats

Oh…shit…haha that sounds awesome, because it absolutely terrifies me at the moment.
Edit: So you’re sittin about 425 or so on squats at the moment?
Yeah sitting around 425-440. Hoping to get to 500 by my meet in April

Or at least close lol
Actually despade I just thought about it. Trying to cover a 60lb gap with someone who’s also making progress would take a really long fucking time. How about this:
You have a 500 DL and a 385 squat. Total: 885
I have a 445 DL and a 440 squat. Total: 885
How about the first person to reach a 950 squat/ DL total? This seems a little more reasonable lol

That seems pretty reasonable and fair to me!

Would join in but I compete in the 1kg class so that’s a bit of a disadvantage.
Maybe start a thread somewhere or post frequent banter or trash talk in each others log

I’m a good ways off from your totals or I’d jump in on this but I’m definitely here for the PRs!
No more #road to SHW with KFC mega feasts?
…dissapointed

Actually @guineapig is not that far off I think 385 SQ 485 DL. If he’d go up a weight class or two to 3kg then he’d be competitive
