TheCrimsonFist Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've been doing primarily aesthetic training for the past 4-5 weeks (for my current challenge) and not worrying about strength at all. Last night, I just couldn't resist doing some heavy deadlifts. My previous PR was 300lbs for 1 rep. Last night I worked my way up to that. Pulled 300 raw, but could barely keep my grip on the bar. Strapped up and cranked out 2 more. Next week I'll be pulling 310. Mark my words. I. Will. Pull. 310. 4 Quote They told me I could be anything when I grow up, so I became a superhero.

TheCrimsonFist Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks guys Once this challenge is over, I'm switching back to strength-focused training. I fully intend to prove Lincarte right (and then some)! 2 Quote They told me I could be anything when I grow up, so I became a superhero.

TheCrimsonFist Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 10 more pounds and I'll be doing double bodyweight again. Going to be some time before I get that, though. I want to be able to "comfortably" get 310x3 before I even attempt anything higher. Quote They told me I could be anything when I grow up, so I became a superhero.
