3/31 – Deadlift – 5/3/1

This session was really tough. First, my hips/legs are still really sore from squats on Friday. Something is going to have to change because this is really hampering my deadlifting. Second, seasonal asthma hit out of nowhere and I spent the entire workout hyperventilating and trying to catch my breath. Not the most fun. Despite these challenges I somehow managed to hit the target single (695) with a double.

On a side note, after a friend told me how his plates he bought for his home gym all weigh 44 pounds instead of 45 I decided to weigh some of the rubber coated plates that our gym has here. They all weighed 46.5 to 47 pounds Does not seem like a big deal but they add up when you have 14 plates on the bar. I guess my 730×2 deadlift PR is really more like 750×2. I will take that!
