Very true in general. But being that I only compete USAPL it's kind of a moot point. There's no 220 or 242. The next class up is 264; and I just don't see myself growing into that class while remaining healthy. Squat 434x5 422x3 (3 second pauses) PR! Bench 325x2 post-injury PR! 272x3 (3 second pauses) - hammer curls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really 'only' do the stuff you are posting or are you secretly also doing assistance stuff? Because besides the chinups and hammer curls you seem to do almost no assistance work at all. Just wondering... Edited August 1, 2017 by Royz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Historic Deadlift Workout After 36 years of consistent deadlift training I am thrilled to be at my all-time strongest as of today. Because the 536x6 was easy enough to suggest I had another rep or two in me today, I'm confident I can pull at least 655 raw. This eclipses my previous best strength I attained in my mid-twenties by about ten pounds. For many years it seemed that my best pulling was behind me, so I'm happier than a pig in shit! Lol. As a lifetime drug-free lifter I feel particularly proud (no disrespect to those who follow a different path-I only wish to encourage those plugging away year after year drug-free😊).Heck, I'm entering the 50-59 age group at Raw Nationals this year, so I feel very fortunate to resurrect my lifting this late in the game. Thanks to all those that check in here to say a word of encouragement or hit the "like" button! Deadlift 536x6 (good for 1 or 2 more) PR! Chins 292x6 PR! -then immediately 3 pull-ups 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
