Ok bad news brahs. I'm a disgrace. I don't know what happened... Here were the sets:

Warmed up with some snatches with the empty barbell

Deadlifts
1x5x135
1x5x225
1x1x315
1x1x405 <--Easy but I still felt I needed another set before the big one. Belt and chalk from this point on.
1x1x455 <--Much easier than last time but still a small bit of struggle. Felt like I had another 40 lbs in me...
1x0x495 <--Came off the floor a few inches but then I got stuck. I was f*cking pissed so this happened:
1x8x405 <--Touch n go. Could've gotten 9 or 10 but form was slipping. That's a PR but I'm still pissed...
1x4x405

[-Lucifer]

Congrats, acm807. Very well done.

I'm going to try 315 this week (Fri).

Don't beat yourself up, breh. We all have 'those days'. 455 to 495 is a pretty big jump, by the way. Should have taken it slow.

[acm807]

[Jrahe42]

Whenever i get back into the gym think im gonna go for 475ish and take it from there. been wanting 5 plates for over a year now. Its only a matter of time now. you can't stop me. it will happen

and congrats on the PR! ^ good stuff man

405x8 is nothing to be pissed about my man, awesome lift. you'll get the 495 in no time.

[mass922]

Nice!!!

[Blizzard589]

Congrats, acm. You really pulled it, man. Now everyone won't call you a puss like they're sure to call me.

EDIT - Apparently either my camera or my cameraman is retarded because I just tried to upload the video (of the 405x8) and it says there is no video... Now I'm even more ****in pissed.

[-Lucifer]

Hey, acm. Nice pull.

[matt297]

nice stuff acm

hey L. you going for a 315 single?

[-Lucifer]

hey L. you going for a 315 single?

I pulled 300x2 last Friday, so yeah, it would most likely be a single. I'll be de-loading after another 2 weeks, so I can afford to start maxing out.

P.S. I will be repping everyone that posts videos. Just give me time to recharge. I'm all out now.

[400Lb Gorilla]

well boys it appears that without straps, gloves, or chalk i drop off drastically.

225x10
315x4
335x3
225x8

getting there though. this challenge of ours has brought to my attention my drop in grip strength. working on that now though so watch out

[400Lb Gorilla]

you are one stout mother fu....

shutting my mouth. killer deads breh. 6 plates or not it is definitely worth these greenz

Why didn't you use chalk?

[Jrahe42]

Why didn't you use chalk?

for real why didnt you? i cant pull **** without chalk

[-Lucifer]

Primate
Nice job with the 335, breh.

Got a vid of a 319 pull from saturday in my log but i think i can do better so ill post up the next one when i get one.

I reckon you can do 330 lbs. I think, adding 10 lbs every session would be easy, till you hit 405.

brb awaiting patiently. lol. gonna post another one in 2 weeks no matter what, deadlifting every 12 days or so, going for 465 next time. hopefully i'll get a better quality camera in that time.

you are one stout mother fu....

shutting my mouth. killer deads breh. 6 plates or not it is definitely worth these greenz

thanks mr gorilla. get ya back on the re-up soon as possible. and WHY NO CHALK!? chalk is a lifesaver, and plus it makes me feel like a hardcore bad mother FFFUUU'er.

[400Lb Gorilla]

Why didn't you use chalk?

for real why didnt you? i cant pull **** without chalk

no chalk right now. i think i will get a chalk sock soon. my gym doesnt allow loose chalk. besides today i just wanted to see where i was at as far as the grip was concerned. this is only exercise i lift on that is heavy enough to strain my grip everything else is less than 300 pounds lol.

Always sucks to miss a lift, but if you can do 405x8, 495 is right around the corner for you. Oh, and be careful with those high rep, heavy sets. Those are when form starts to deteriorate and injuries happen. I'll do 8-12 rep deads but really light weight. I don't go over 3 reps on the heavy stuff. Just not worth the risk. But Im unbelted, so I have to be even more careful.

Yeahh Buddddyyyyyy!!! Way to go! No probs!

Whenever i get back into the gym think im gonna go for 475ish and take it from there. been wanting 5 plates for over a year now. Its only a matter of time now. you can't stop me. it will happen

No need for 475. 495 looks moar pretty on teh bar. Do it.

well boys it appears that without straps, gloves, or chalk i drop off drastically.

Try farmers walks, or even just heavy BB or DB holds to increase grip strength. Should help.

for real why didnt you? i cant pull **** without chalk

Im already planning my attack on 24 hr fitness to sneak in the chalk when I get back up to the heavy weights next month. Where do you buy it?

495 is pretty hefty jump hah if i get 475 ill go for 495

and i got mine off of here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/chalk.html

it will last you a long time, but if your gym is gay you might need to get the sock thing. I just crush this stuff into half lil blocks half powder and put it in a chinese food container

Thanks. Definitely thought I had it today...

Yeah regarding the high rep heavy set I did, that's why I stopped at 8. I could've gone for 9 or even 10 but I knew more form wouldn't be up to snuff since my erector spinae were just about ready to quit on the eighth rep. It's very rare that I train to failure and even more rare that I train higher reps to failure. If I don't think I can safely push the last rep out on my own then I don't do it and I have a pretty good sense of when I can't do another rep.

Yeah I keep mine in a gladware container and I keep that in a plastic bag. My gym doesn't allow chalk but they've never tried to stop me. If they did they'd get a strong bertstare and I'd click the "Ignore" button.
