Deadlift

JUNE 16
At CROSSFIT www.steelcitycrossfit.com
(I like going there for a change of pace and the different atmosphere a couple times a week.)

Deadlift (olympic bar, belt only, NO Straps): 135, 225, 315, 385 lbs. x 1 **385 was my best ever with straps even. But did it today without straps. Only TITE GRIP on my hands.

So my grip has gone up a lot!
Missed 405 and 395 but if I would've tried it right after the 315 it might've gone better. Good one though. Deadlifting is one of the best full body lifts low or high reps, heavy or light weight you can do. Back, legs, glutes, abs, traps, hips all involved and it is a movement you'd do in one way or another every day, 100x a day in real life outside the gym.

Good confidence builder for TACTICAL STRENGTH CHALLENGE because that 385 lbs. would've given me a 2nd place in the Deadlift event there.

At Home:
Stone Lifting max reps with the 175 lbs. and 125 lbs. stone.
(Another full body work out as well as balancing and stabilizing the stone which doesn't have nice, pre set grips and handles like a bar or machine. So it brings out more of the smaller "Core" muscles and stabilizers in the body that don't get worked in normal training or don't get it in the same way.
