I knew it was going to be a challenge because the best I've ever done is 1 set of 5. Got 5 reps the first set, was pretty tough and I wasn't sure I was going to hit another. Busted out the camera and grinded out another five reps, was my absolute limit. Left it there relatively content to have hit one more set than last time. Was watching the footage back tonight, counted the plates up and I realised it was actually 175kg! I think if I'd have known that before the sets I would never have hit 5 reps. Just goes to show the power of the mind, and the limitations we can put in our own heads | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Just going for that 5th rep, whatever the weight, shows determination. Nice work! | ||
