I'm currently training just to train. Life has been pretty busy and stressful these past few weeks and months, so I'm going back to my roots. I'm training because I love to train. It's my release, my escape. Currently I'll be following a upper/full body/upper split. I'm taking a break from events at the moment and just putting in work and enjoying training again. I'm sure I'll get my eyes on a competition at some point in the future, but not right now.
I came in to train on this day and was programmed to do some lower intensity, higher volume pulls. However as I was warming up the bar felt light and was moving fast. It was the best deadlifts or training had felt in months. So as I worked up I decided I was going to work up to a heavy single and possibly go for a PR. My best raw pull is 670, so anything above that would be a PR. I worked up and instead of going for a small PR I loaded the bar to 700. This was probably dumb, especially considering how shitty my training has been, high stress levels, lack of sleep and poor nutrition. But I didn't care. Unfortunately I missed the damn lift. I'll get it next time.
