This is a pic of a place where strongmen are being forged the old fashion way - lots of hard work and heavy lifting. This has been an inspiring place to hit the weights.
tonight was deadlift max night. We didn't know what to expect. Alan started again. He was hoping for 250#. He smashed that beginning with 200#, then 250#, on to 275#, up to 285# and then finishing with a tough 300# on one attempt. I have really been impressed with Al's determination to push harder and really gut out some new and challenging lifts. Great work man!
Next up, the guy with even more to prove after the above performance. I started where Al left off at 300#. that went well on to 325#. No problem, let's go up to 350#. Good lift - another 25#. 375# was tough, but hoisted it up on the first attempt. Let's do 385#. No can do on two attempts; down 5#, but still no go. I will have to settle for 375# for my first ever deadlift max day.
After Al did 300# I was psyched and ready to try and go to 400# - Not this time. We will have to lift for a few weeks and then 400# will be mine!

It will be so cool to see you lift 400#. We should get our next max week on the calendar.
