Awesome, awesome workout. Considering I was feeling quite under the weather on tuesday with a fever, makes it even better. Deadlift PR's are always super rewarding. I said before that my gym doesn't "allow powerlifting". I ended up using the rack right next to the morning manager of Gold's. He said nothing to me. In fact, his workout body complimented my on my deadlift. I am assuming by not allowing PL-ing they mean bands, chains, chalk, and all that sort of equipment.
Anyways back to the workout. I actually missed my first 425 attempt, but not quite a "missed attempt" in my book. When I was over the bar I just wasn't feel like I was pysched to pull. I gave it a shot, but I definitely wasn't giving it my all. I tried again a minute later with a slightly more motivated feeling and got it. I was pulling from the floor without movement for a couple second, but then once it started moving I got it up easy. Looks like I need to start pulling from a deficite. Now there are a few factors involved with today's pull. My strength is a bit down because I'm on the very end of my 5 week workout cycle. Plus sleep and diet hasn't been the greatest(good, but not as good as in the past) and my psycho-ability wasn't quite up to par today. I brought a weight belt in case I felt like I needed it. I almost put it on, glad I didn't. Pure-raw is ftw. I didn't keep strict RI's today because I was working out with my buddy. I doubt they went more than 3 minutes though.
