Best Deadlift- 705x3
age- 26 this month

Ok… I competed in powerlifting from age 15-19 and still hold a few records. I was natural during that time and crossed over once I got into bodybuilding. I tore my quad badly (haven’t been able to squat since I came back) when I was 23 and then I got wrapped up in some stupid things and was out of the gym completely for 2 years. I came back in January this year. My best lifts since coming back are:

Bench- 405x9 (failure at 10)
Deadlift (only started deadlifting again 3 weeks ago) 600+bands pretty easy. Maybe 50lbs in the tank.

My goal is to pull 800@242 in competition by spring next year and the way my strength has been coming back this is very reasonable.

Need to keep a log and keep up with it for once…

Wish me luck

7/20 Deads and Back
warm up
deadlifts + bands-
495x1
545x1
585x1
635x1…This was easier than 600 last week. I was really tempted to take 675 for a ride but I have only been back to deadlifting a few weeks and I don’t think it’s smart to take a max effort lift so soon while being out of condition for it. There is always next week.

Speed deads + bands
405x6x3

Stiff legged deads
315x8
365x8
315x15

CG pulldown
265x4x10

High Cable Row
4 sets of 12

Good workout considering it was my 4th deadlift workout since my return to the gym. The strength is coming back fast but the stamina is still not there.
