I have a meet coming up in September and DL has always been my best lift. I haven't pulled anything significant for a few months, and primarily been pulling vs bands. This workout 585 felt very, very heavy off the floor and easy as soon as it cleared my knee.
Warmup: 4x10 standing abs 4x10 cable pull throughs
Deadlift: 135x5 225x3 315x2 405x2 455x2 495x1 545x1 585x1
The 585 felt way heavier off the floor. Granted I wasn't in the mood to train, but no way it should have felt like that regardless.
To make up for the terrible deadlift I hit some rack pulls from just above the knee
Rack Pulls: 315x1 405x1 495x1 585x1 676x1 815x1 for a PR- not that it really matters for anything
100 Hammer Strength Hamstring curls to finish it off.
Next time I pull I will work up to 635 at least and hopefully it will be a fast rep. That will most likely be the last warmup at my meet.
