Turkeylifts

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Band-resisted deadlifts (doubled purples)
315 x 1
335 x 1, 1 -lockout a little slow
I doubled the purples around 100lb dumbbells, but there was definitely less tension than we have in our usual setup at school. I weighed a doubled purple around a barbell right around the top height of my deadlift and it weighed ~60lbs, which means that its 120lbs total tension at the top. I'm pretty sure with the setup at school using 100lb plates, the bands are ~160lbs total at the top since they're stretched out a lot more, which means that the bar is about 445-455lbs at the top. I think the math is right, but we'll see if my lockout got stronger when I do regular deadlifts in a couple of weeks.

Good mornings
235 x 5
245 x 5
255 x 5 -lower back started rounding
185 x 8

Stiff legged deads
285 x 8, 8

Morning BW: 184.6lbs...going to try and beat my PR weight of 192.5lbs today.
