Day 31 - Dead Lifts 5,5,5,5,5

I started with 135# and worked up in intervals of 50 and 40 pounds alternating:

135
185 (~bodyweight)
225
275 (~1.5bodyweight)
315

This just made things easier - add 2x25#, remove - add 2x45#. I think I'll work with heavier deadlifts more often - like bodyweight and 1.5x bodyweight. Since Linda required 1.5x bodyweight as rx'd (prescsribed) - and I had trouble with the 315 - I only got 3 reps in. In fact, it took me 3 attempts to get it off the ground originally - I ended up having to change my grip up using 1 overhand 1 underhand. I had to switch which hand did which after 2 reps and couldn't get 4 in.

After my failure to complete 5 reps of 315, I backed it down to 275 and again did 5 reps of that. Total 28 reps - 6420# total. I currently weight in at 182 - so I'll consider 180 to be BW and 270 to be 1.5xBW.
