Had a great workout! All my weights went up and I got all my rep targets - sweet!
Anyway I did some heavy snatches and power cleans first up.
I then tried the deadlift - I did singles going up in weight. I did it kinda like a slow clean pull, bar close to shins. Pulling over the knee, keeping it close to the body, lowering it the same way.
I did 315 no probs! Lifted it in 1 sec, lowered it under control in 5 secs. Probably could have done 3 reps too. While it wasn't hard, its wasn't easy either. Definitely a new thing to be holding that kinda weight in my hands. Strange sensation, like someone turned up the gravity 10 times!
I know its not a lot comapred to you guys and especially the females, but I've only been training for 3 months so far in a proper gym with heavy weights, up to then I had been training at home for 3-4 months using bodyweight stuff and my single dumbell set
Consider that I struggled with half that weight 2 months ago, my organism strength is definitely on the rise! I'm really surprised, I always thought I had shitty leverage and absolute strength!
I'm gonna try for 405 lbs in a months time, since I'll be full squatting at least 315lbs by then. I'll video tape it too.
I reckon I can get 500lbs or more by the end of the year, since I'm shooting to full squat 405lbs or more by Christmas. All I've been doing is full back and front squats, Olympic lifts, glute ham raises, sideway lunges and Romanian Deadlifts. I guess the Yates rows help as well.
But I reckon its the heavy Power cleans, clean pulls and jumping deadlifts that have improved my pulling power the most. If you can propel 155 lbs fast enough for your feet to leave the ground, then doing 2-3 times that slowly is a piece of cake.
Anyway Thanks BFold for inspiring me to even attmept it
