Another workout went well. Felt like I could lift the world. Until I got to a 270 lb deadlift. And was defeated by gravity. Of course I wasn't going to give up that easily. So I tried again. And it ended up Kelly 0. Gravity 2. Of course that won't stop me from coming back again next week and trying again :). Although it may be 2 or 3 weeks before I try 270 again. I hit a new PR today at 265 so I have no complaints, but I am working towards 300 so I think I'll back off for a few weeks and do some heavy weight volume work and see where takes me. It's worked so far for my bench press. I can only imagine it'll help with my deadlift!
