I'm definitely progressing on my deadlift. 2-3 months ago, my 1RM was 325, and I was barely able to get it up. Yesterday I managed to pull off multiple sets, one for 3 reps and one for 2 reps. I'm almost positive my back could have handled more weight. My grip, however, could not.
That's been the theme since I started deadlifting. My grip is shitty. When doing 1 handed rows, I feel the weight just slipping through my fingers and I have to put the weight down for a half second in between each rep. Same deal for shrugs and even sometimes weighted chin ups/pull ups. Maybe I need to get one of those hand grip things to squeeze while I'm driving to and from work.
Here are the sets.
2/6/12 - Monday
Deadlifts - 3 sets
135x8 (warmup)
225x5 (warmup)
325x3 PR
325x2
305x5
Chin ups - 3 sets
25lbs x5
25lbs x5
25lbs x4
Chinups goal is to get 10 straight reps with 25lbs hanging from my waist. Then, on to 45lbs.
