Just could jump out of my skin with joy! I hit a new personal best with my deadlifts this morning!

Two weeks ago, I could do 3 x 8 with 95lbs
This morning 95lbs felt a little "light"...so I upped it and managed to knock out 3 x 5 @ 135lbs :bigsmile:

Hoping in another two weeks to do 185lbs

Here's to progress!! :drinker:

    I did a one rep max deadlift in July 2012 and topped out at 230, two weeks ago I did another one rep max deadlift and got up to 265! :)

    Needless to say I was excited!

    What exactly is a dead lift?

    May sound dumb but I may not be the only one with this Q.

    A typical bar is 45 pounds. You may have done 95 pounds.
