Today was very eye opening. At the beginning of this process I thought that if I was able to get the bar to my knees, then locking out a deadlift would be no problem. I was never proven more wrong than on this day. I was trying to set a new person record with 600 lbs. On 2 attempts I was able to get the bar to mid thigh before stalling and ultimately failing. Although I was unable to set a new record for myself, 2 MAJOR victories came out of this. One, my grip strength was a none issue. I felt like I could have held the bar all day. Two, my lower back IS strong enough to move 600, but not my upper. In 8 weeks, 600 lbs will be an official lift on my resume.
