Today I deadlifted 375lbs for 6 reps for the first time in my life...

[Deicide]

I am pleased with this. I am not necessarily planning on it but with any luck I might get to 400 by the end of the year. Never thought I would get to even 375. I guess, consistency and determination is key. Greetings to the cool folk here.

What made you return?

[ToxicAvenger]

awesome! if i were you...i'd give it a weeks rest and then attempt 405 for a double

[Deicide]

What made you return?

No reason. I am not really back. Though there have been some requests that I 'return'. It likely won't happen.

Wow thats a good fuckin lift D.

Thanks. Much less impressive (because my bench has always lagged and sucked relative to my other lifts) I benched 215 for 6 for the first time today as well, in any event improvements over the past.

[GroinkTropin]

With some tweaks in technique I bet you could get 405 next workout. Congrats.

Are you doing HST or a traditional bodypart split?

Also, did you complete your masters that you were going for in the UK?

Haha. HST of course. 5 rep hard week. But I wanted to see if I could get an extra one. I have always made some progress when I do HST so I return back to it. Yes, finished my MA. Thanks for asking.

Also: do update us on those fat loss goals!

One area of little progress I fear. At least I am stronger than I ever was before; never thought at this age I would be.

great to hear that, congrats! It seemed very quick, was it on fast track? Seemed like it only took a year. Either way, it's still a good accomplishment... although I'm aware of the job situation as you mention in your youtube update vid.

Yes, working part time now as a German teacher but nothing full time right now. I try to look on the bright side. I love my gym and enjoy working out these days more than ever so it's all good.

It was quick. Just a year ago I struggled with 320 sometimes for 3 reps...don't know what happened. Maybe I have been eating and training more consistently than before or maybe I love my gym; I feel motivated when I am there.

wavelength principles baby... just started my wavelength diet although i'm still scared to indulge in 'junk food'. we'll see when 'cheat day' comes around.

[kiwiol]

You don't sound like you're far away from doing 405 for a single or double. Keep at it.

TEG approved

wow that's quite a change from the Deicide we have come to known  Good to know things are going good-- a far cry from how it seemed in korea or europe. Keep it up!

Yeah well, the economy sucks and pretty much a lot else does too but there is no point in dwelling on it.

I'll admit it...when it comes to dieting I am a lazy ass...maybe I make it 6 weeks and then...the hunger feeling kills me...Wavelength or no, a diet makes you hungry...if anyone has some brilliant idea on how to get rid of the hunger pangs I actually think I could follow through for once in my life...

Yeah...I never really go for single reps...the least I ever do is 4..usually 5...but I might go for it one day...

Heavy singles can get a bit intense, no doubt.

Hell yes, I let one out while pushing through my gut really hard doing a deadlift single this one time--- I was 1000% sure I had shit myself but thank god nothing happened... just remember not to eat beans for lunch before a deadlift workout.

I was insanely nervous today at the rack.

I guess I just prefer several reps because I am not into powerlifting...I always try to train between 5 and 15 reps, depending on the system I am using.

If you haven't shit yourself deadlifting or squatting, you're not hardcore.

good to here but only you can decide, decide
