Very happy with how deadlifts are feeling at this lower bodyweight, the goal is to hit 230KG at the meet on 3rd attempt and think I'm going to be good for that,

Also cut down the fluff in my training and focused on the money maker moves and cutting from 4 to 3 days per week training, really wanna focus on recovery now.

Nice deadlift PR. So you can gain weight on 2500 calories? Seems a little low
