I had a terrific session coming off a two day rest; perfect for doing a max single lift day. I chose my favorite, the deadlift. My warm-up was all deadlifting at lower weights, including snatch grip standing on an elevated platform.

This was the warm-up: snatch grip: 135×5/135×5/225×3. Standard deadlift: 225×5/225×3.

Now for the singles, with the goal to get the max in the third lift:

265/315/415 pr/405/355/335/315.

I beat my previous PR by 10 lbs! The next lift, at 405# was actually harder since I was already toasted.  All the lifts that followed, except the last one were very tough, but all lifts made it to lock-out. I am very happy with this, my latest PR.
