A Deadlifting Chronicle

I deadlift a lot.  Some of the best moments of training lately have been occurring with this particular.  I have pulled 12 times since 11 April.  Starting from 5 April, here is my progress:

5 April 315 for 8 sets, totally 14 reps  in 06:55
12 April 295 8, 16, 07:35
14 April 365 5, 5, 04:17
19 April 315 8, 20, 12:55
20 April 275 5, 25, 09:13
21 April 225 4, 25, 05:47
26 April 385 4, 4, 08:35
28 April 405 5, 5, 09:30
02 May 225 5, 38, 08:15
03 May 225 6, 43, 11:45
05 May 405 2, 3, 02:15
10 May 225 7, 47, 11:25
11 May 315 4, 20, 10:00

No reason for this to be here.

I am pretty proud of the fact that I can hit a double with 95% of my 1RM, now.  In a short amount of time.  Also note that I went from doing doubles with 315, to now doing sets of 5.

Observe how I do this with no fuss:



This is the third set of 4.  The last set stopped testing well, so I cut it.  Same goes for all the others.  I don't intend to fully max out any time soon, but at any rate the lift feels and performs better almost every time I test it.
