Steve Belanger and the Old School Barbell Club convened today at 10:30 in Steve’s garage, jam-packed with the tools and implements of heavy lifting. Without a doubt I was the lightweight there along side of Steve, Andy and Jonas, but they made me feel more than welcome. Brent, you would LOVE this! (Steve had a really complimentary way to describe you to the other lifters, by the way).
My goal was to deadlift and pick up some pointers from these guys, which I did. I had “eyes on” for virtually all my lift from these guys which was great.
I warmed up with 135×3/135×5/185×3/185×5/.
My heavy stuff went 225×3/275×3/315×1/335×1/225×3/225×3/
Here are some pics:

1Nice efforts on those lifts. If I remember, 335 is right around your PR. You put a lot into your warm up, so I am guessing today’s foundational work may lead to another little PR leap in the next deadlift session. That’s just a guess, but I would put money on it.
I would have liked to come to this session, as I am sure you got some great instruction and eyes on.
I needed a rest day, today, though. I felt hammered this morning. I think yesterday’s WOD as well as these little daily deadlift routines I have been doing lately have taken their toll. It’s 6 pm, and I am just starting to feel like moving.
