Not too shabby; starting a week early

Not too shabby! I have been training for size with no thought to strength, but I caved to positive peer pressure. My wife and I were running a table at the MetroFlex 911 Power Meet on Saturday 1/15. But the guys I train with (more accurately -guys who train when I train) talked me into entering. I didn't participate in the bench press; just the deadlift.

I weighed in at 220 and deadlifted 395 then 415 EASY!!! For my 3rd attempt, I went for 450. I figured why not just go for it. Well, I COULD have done it but my for gave way just a bit too much. As I pulled up, I didn't put enough emphasison pulling back, so the bar drifted about 3-4 inches forward, and that was all she wrote. I didn't make it above my knees. I know I can pull 450 but just not that day.

Starting a week early
I have decided to start my Hybrid Strength Training a week early. The weather is gorgeous, so I am ready to get my stamina on! That, and the 450 miss has me chomping at the bit to start working heavy again. Today will be whole body strength training.
