found my one rep max on deadlift last night, made the owner of some gym look less than huge in the process
we were walking out of a bar downtown (kelowna) and there was a "gym" open right beside the bar we were leaving, so i kinda peaked my head in the door, and i dunno if i said something or not, but some dude by the door said somehting along the lines of "come on in and give it a try then" they wanted to do overhead squats, but ive never done them before, so i said "well lets do some deadlifts!"
so the owner dude cam by and piled some weight on the bar for me and gave me a helpful pointer on my form after i did a couple warm up
then he started stacking the weight on for real, 185 i did a full set then 225 then 255
then they told me to just do reps of one, 275 305
after i do 305, the owner guy steps in and starts doing them with me 325 355
im just thinking, holy fuck who am i doing this, boom buddy throws 395lbs together, pulls it up
now theres some kinda crowd of people in the gym, is start thinking about not doing it, cuz it was a fuck load of weight. but whatever i already did way way more than my previous best, so i may as well give it a go
pulled it off clean with RRxtar yelling at me like we're in some kinda crazy powerlifting video haha.
fell like a fucking champ still
