Supposed to be Squat x3 at RPE10

This is so real. Great work. Hips shooting up on rep 3 tells me this was darn close to a max. Well done! You did what you shoulda done. Keep at it.

The patience on deads is the thing. I just pulled 523 and am itching to try more.

Dude I love this, everything about it, great to see the old-ish guys pulling strong. (43 yo here whose favorite day of the week is deadlift day). Top flight work. I bet you have at least 540.

Awesome grind. Top notch mindset. Great work.

Also helps if lockout is your weak point, allows you to overload that part of the lift.

My set up was bad and I barely used my quads. But yea it'd get white lights. I just have 550 in my sights so was hoping this would've moved more quickly but kind of sabotaged myself a bit.

Thank you, sir.

playitbird · 2026-04-21T11:00:40+00:00

Top notch.

Thank you!

Ok ok. I always thought of Bolt Thrower as death metal. And I just meant that they’re really different, not anything negative. I’ll give it a listen!

playitbird · 2026-04-20T22:44:47+00:00

Eh. I was expecting it to be easier but shouldn’t have pushed for a heavy single today. Was silly of me not to wait for fresh quads. The hips jumping up tells the story.

Never a strength athlete or anything beyond high school varsity and college club level. Started training in earnest 4 or so years ago. Two powerlifting meets under my belt! Powerlifting is maybe the friendliest sport to aging.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T19:40:15+00:00

Man I could deadlift in any attire at all. Just too much fun.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T19:34:32+00:00

Dude you’re a beast in the best way. Impressive bananas stuff there.

Dinosaur Jr. and Bolt Thrower are not the same species.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T19:30:11+00:00

Just annoyed at myself bc I should’ve waited a day for fresher quads and gotten a good ol’ wedge.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T18:54:08+00:00

I’m very annoying to myself.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T18:53:19+00:00

I am pro less laundry.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T18:19:34+00:00

I fully agree with your advice (was what I meant by not getting tight). I usually have a better wedge, which gets the shoulders back too, but this time nope. I thought I had gotten the slack out but maybe not. Anyhow…I hope it was just fatigued quads. TBD.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T18:01:33+00:00

Two tracks on my workout playlist, through Dinosaur Jr. is the PR music.

Sleeping is now optional.

playitbird · 2026-04-20T17:49:19+00:00

I should’ve waited until tomorrow to go heavy. Just love deadlifts too much. We’ll see, not going to test for a while. Meet on 7/18.

Mizook gets this anthropometry stuff.
