Just yesterday in my Year End Review, I said no more PR’s until next year. Well, I just couldn’t wait! I joined a crowd of people getting in their last workout of the year before the gym closed at noon. All three squat racks were in use, but I planted myself in a prime piece of matted real estate with good bar and a pile of plates. Time to deadlift! Time to PR!

To warm up, I did 4 sets of Burgener’s and 4 x 30 ab mat sit-ups.

I loaded the bar with 155# and did 5 deadlift reps. I add 140#, to 295 and lifted it 3 times. Now, on to the fun stuff…

Deadlift Singles, 7 x1:

335/365/425pr/435pr/355/355/355.

Nice to finish the year with a bang! Happy New Year to everyone and I hope that 2008 allows you to reach your dreams and get your PRs!
