I competed in the XPC Meet at the Arnold in March, shortly after that I got a new job which took a lot of time away from training, then I had a bulging disk (primarily as a result of not training).
I went to a gym about half hour or so from mine that was having a "Deadlift Party", free and open to the public. My training partner and I decided to go. I thought I did terrible and apparently wasn't a good deadlifter anymore, but I actually did pretty well. I was pretty focused on just pulling and trying to block everyone else out I wasn't really paying that much attention to the weights and I thought my last pull was 635 - I was upset with how heavy it felt- it turns out I'm dumb and it was 725.
135x2 225x2 315x1 405x1 495x1 545x1 585x1 635x1 675x1 725x1
I was pretty disappointed at first, then when I realized how much it was I was pretty happy.
Accessory work Straight leg deadlift 315x5 x4 sets (these left me so sore)
