Training Log: Entry 2202

Deadlift
5x135
5x225
3x315
1x405
12x495
12x405


Notes: Workout in a commercial gym in Aurora CO.  Elevation kills me, but this was a great effort.  Things were moving awesome today.  I think I need to sack up and drop the knee sleeves on deads, because they keep snagging the bar. My knees feel pretty sturdy right now.

This ties my best effort with 495 pre-op.  That was a LONG time ago, but it gives me hope, considering I had to run a full ROM progression cycle to get there before and this time it was just something I hit in the gym.  I'm gonna gun for 14 next time and see what happens.

Notes: Not quite the asskicker I wanted, but with the elevation I was just done. Left knee was being a little squirely on the reps of 405, so I didn't push.  This is the first time squatting with a barbell in like a year, so it was nice to see what I could manage.  No shoulder pain; I can hold the bar lower on my back than I can with a buffalo bar, so it sorta works out.
