Max Test: Deadlift

Defranco's Agile-8

DL Warm-up - BarX10, 95X5, 135X3, 185X2

Deadlift - 225X1, 255X1, 275X1, 295X1, 315XFAIL


My previous best of 225X5 projected to a 260 1RM.  So roughly a 35lb. improvement on the Built Like a Badass program, even though I didn't Deadlift for 12 cycles.  Luckily, Defranco's lower body assistance work is designed to benefit both the Squat and the Pull.  Also, there must be some carryover from the Squat.

Anyway, now I have all my numbers needed to start 531.  I'll have my first Press day on either Saturday or Sunday, and we'll go from there.  Like all the big lifts, I won't see this weight on the pull again until around month 5 of the program.  I'm scheduled for a 300lb. pull at that time.  Meet me there?
