With last weekend being a heavy squat day and this weekends program being lighter squats I decided it would be a good day to deadlift. I rarely do a full "competition" deadlift and instead do pulls against bands or chains or from blocks. Today's training will decide my opener.

squats with SS Yoke bar - box squats -wore Metal Ace briefs

worked up to 600 for 3 sets of 3 reps

 

regular ole deadlifts - wore Metal Ace briefs and Metal Ace squat suit

worked up to 675 for a single (opener)

700 for a single

 

Took a few minutes to get the suit straps set right for the deadlift but once it was dialed in things were smooth. I feel confident that I'll get a deadlift PR in December.
