I’m fucking ecstatic. 😂

I’ve been training seriously for about a year, and at 41 years old, I finally pulled 500 for the first time.

Four failed attempts before this, with the bar always dying around my knees. Today it finally moved through and I got the lockout.

I know the technique isn't perfect — hips/roll, etc. — and yes, I used straps. 😂 I’m working on both.

Right now, though, I’m just going to enjoy the milestone.

500 is finally mine.

Now it’s time to make it consistent and get ready for my first meet in a few months. 💪

A predatory "no proof of income" dealership is flexing its customers on social media. Highlights include unbanked stacks of cash, a guy in a balaclava, and someone signing up to pay $93,000 for a C300.

If the 13-year auto loans don't get you, the celebratory twerking on the lot definitely will.

For only the classiest garbage in this fair kingdom 👑

Took a shot at 500 lbs today after a full training cycle and deload. Previous PR is 485.

Got it past the knees but couldn't quite finish the lockout. This seems to be my usual sticking point whenever I miss a heavy pull.

​

My last heavy deadlift day was 415 for 9+2

What stands out to you guys? Technique, positioning, weak lockout, or something else?

It's starting to get annoying and frustrating.

Seen on my daily commute. Is it ready for a hot tub?
