PR!!!!!

I Deadlifted 145lbs! Twice! I GOT TO USE THE BIG PLATES, YO.

The big plates! Deadlift! Two times, and then a rest, then a third time! Never mind me, I'm going to be over here in the corner, giddy with accomplishment.

(You do NOT have to comment or say something about this, just, who the heck else am I going to tell?)

THE BIG PLATES.

ROCK THE FUCK ON.

Getting to use the big plates for the first time is a great, great moment. Also, unless you've already been lifting off a block, when you start using the big plates it's safer and easier on your lower back because the bar's a little higher off the ground at the start.

Hurrah! I did major weight deadlift sets on Tuesday and am only just feeling the aches wear off - but aren't they satisfying aches?
