Deadlifts
Up to 550 x 0, 0
500 x 8 (touch-and-go) (PR)
* Body kept shutting it down because of a twinge in my left side. Assuming my competition doesn't get canceled, man, I need to GO. Am going to start from the top and increase the weight next week as I've been spinning my wheels trying and failing this for too long. Taking a break from the floor may help, too. I'm still confident that I have 600 in me; problem is it has to be a "good day" but the comp conditions (flat ground, rolling the bar, meet magic effect) may help, though I'm not going to count on that.
* Repping 500 was a decent victory.
