I went for a deadlift PR today...!

The bar did not move.


Sometimes you kill the bear. Sometimes the bear kills you.

it happens to the best of us, better luck next time SG! If you wouldve gotten it, that would have been what, 3 PR's in a week?

I know. I know. I actually try to push things up and up every workout. It doesn't always work.

My best was the week of my birthday. I actually was able to hit a PR on every lift that week.

I just have my eye on this particular PR. I have a goal for my deads and I will hit it.

This gives me something to look forward to.

It sucks, but right from the get go, it feels like I know I can't budge the bar... I take a step back... and try again... convinced I can move it... again, it usually doesn't budge... then... I try a third time... I usually end up pulling my back or getting a stinger in my neck...

I learned to stop after try number 2 LOL

I hear you bro... you can't come out a winner on every lift, every week... if that were the case, I'd be squatting 2000lbs now.

C-ditty

Not much... only trying to push it up 10 lbs. I never go up more than 5-10lbs jumps.

I had just rep'd my former 1 rep PR weight for 2 reps... so I thought maybe the time was right for a jump. (Wait a minute... 2 reps with my former 1 rep weight... that's a PR. )
