This will be my last heavy deadlifting till the contest. Ended on a great note the 635 pull is a 10# PR for training. The bar I use in training is a lot stiffer then the bar in the contest, so I am excited about the event.

This was not a good workout, the axle just didn't feel good. I think the yoke on Saturday took more out of me then I realized. So I decided to go back and do it again after lunch...

missed 350...decided to just go for it and see what would happen. My grip was shot at this point and I couldn't get the clean.

The second time around felt much better.

My truck died on me this morning so I was late getting to the gym so I put off the heavy axel until tomorrow. I did do some light back work...seated rows & pull-ups so the day wasn't a total wash.
