NEW PR

I haven't done much this week. No excuses, just haven't done it. Tonight I tested my deadlift max. Here's how it went:
DEADS:
135lb x5
160lb x3
170lb x2
190lb x1
225lb x1
235lb FAIL
(205lb x2) 4x
205lb x1
135lb x10

I've increased my max by 10lbs which is basically nothing but I'll take it. I've also decided that I'm capable of increasing my working weight to 205lb. I seem to get stuck in the past, and what "used" to be able to do and for some reason I never push myself to get past my plateaus. For years 185lb on deads was a number I just couldn't get past. It seemed as though I would jump a little over that and then inevitably fall back. But it was probably just all in my head. I should be well past a max of 225lb, but I hold myself back. Fuck it, I'm moving on. Now I keep the weight at 205lb until I can get 5 reps, then I move it up. I'm not out to break records, those days and dreams are long gone. I'm out to be strong and I have to stop holding myself back.
