Sort of stalled because I've been slacking. Haven't gained anything, but haven't lost anything either....

I don't think I have ever been so dejected posting a current PR. Really thought I would nail 405, but if anything, the last time I attempted it was more solid. Got it going just fine, sticking about 8-10" off the floor. Good news is I DID get 395, 10 lbs better then the last time I maxed. My boyz are having a comp for 500, and my pussy ass can't get 400 .

Way to go JD

yeah, you're a pussy ass alright, deadlifting 395 pounds at the age of 50, sure, whatever....

Let's put it this way, we are all anywhere from 15-25 years younger than you. think of it like inflation, only reversed....the younger you are, the more you *should* lift. So you are probably stronger than 95% of all the people your age, is that something to be ashamed of???
We may only be stronger than say 85-90% of the people OUR age. So you my friend are probably ahead of the game, in some sick, twisted, made up illogical way, hehe.

Yeah - What he said ^. You are probably stronger than 99% of the people 50 and over

Thanks guy..... but I want those 8 plates! I guess I should look at it like only 10 more lbs.

You'll get it next time..........

Damn, your really looking strong in here Jersey! Looks like I have some major catch up to play. As far as the Deads, it's been my experience it's all dependent on the day and how you feel. My PR would fluctuate based on a number of factors so don't let it get you down buddy.

exactly, look at it like it's only 10 pathetic little more pounds, don't look at it as 405, just think about that 10 pounds. Psyche yourself up for it, you know you did 395, so you KNOW you should kill those extra 10 pounds.

I would be willing to bet that the next time you do deads for a max you will get 405. It's a no brainer, so don't worry bout it

Good going, JD. I guess one's outlook depends if you're a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty kind of person. I prefer to be glass-half-full, so I think congratulations are in order.

Also, the fact that you had the 405 moving is a good sign.

Try to incorporate some speed deads? Alot of people think these really help. Personally I think it is reps around 3 that make those deads jump. Good luck JD!

Thank you all for the support! Ignore me. I was just disappointed and felt down. I WILL get it eventually.

Yeah me too DD. Never been a fan of speed work, except for maybe squats. When I tried Westside box squats is what really improved my squat.

I have been working up to sets of 3 on the deadlift for several weeks, and have been increasing every week. I thought I was ready for 405, especially because I rack pulled 415 (bar 6" off floor). But enough about my ass, I need to do some updates in my boyz journals!
