Deadlift 1RM and Bench

Saturday I went for a 1RM on deadlifts.  I was a little disappointed but encouraged at the same time.

On the one hand, my PR was not as high as I thought it would be.  On the other hand, my back was handling the weight fine, while my grip wasn't.  I need to work on grip, and I think my deadlift will increase dramatically if I can hold on to the damn bar lol.
