January 1, 2014 – New Year Deadlifts

The day finally came, I had to deadlift 430 for as many as possible. I had been nervous about it ever since I first saw I had to do it 2 weeks ago. Last cycle I hit a PR of 420 for 4 I couldn’t help myself but think “How could I possibly hit another PR this week?!” I walked up to this bar and thought to myself I’m going to do whatever it takes to lift this up! I had no excuses I didn’t have a lot of sleep or food before lifting, but I just knew I was going to lift this weight no matter what, and I did. I actually got 2! Was so surprised! That second rep was one of the hardest things I have ever lifted in my life.  Lifting that amount of weight was the greatest feeling in the world. I finally feel like I’m stepping up to a higher  level of powerlifting.
