Indeed hahah!!!!Planet Fitness Lunk Alert!!!!
Yesterday was rest day (again), have a cold and felt like dogshit. Today was deads (again), I'm becoming a PL coach it appears. I'm ok with that. I eat a pop tart, wash it down with Gatorade and make random inscrutable, semi-intelligible remarks.
Then I lift shit.
Today - deads
WO partner's lifts: trying to get her to start a log here. in the meantime, she's 41, guessing 175, 5'6", 1RM 225
65x15; 115x8; 135x6; 185x3x5 (80% max); 205x3x5 (91%); 135x20
Me:
135x8; 225x5; 315x5; 335x3x5 (80%), 365 x3x2, 1 (86%), 225x2
Ran out of gas running triples at 365.
I think this is a stamina issue, need to work on volume. Also grabbed a couple vids for dl critique. They're at 315 and 335, different angles. Comments and suggestions encouraged. I think the very bottom of the lift needs work, too much back and not enough legs. I'm 6'3", i have to get way down and pull a long way. Not an excuse but an explanation.
Edit - grrr, fucking iPhone not letting me upload vids. I'll convert to a format the rest of the world uses and upload later.
Pushes today...decided to range find and see what my bench max is. Haven't done that for almost 6 months. I was guessing 265...
Flat bench - Barx20; 95x10;135x5;185x3; 225x2; 245x1; 255x1; 265x1; 275x2 - current PR
Drop set - 155x13; 145x15; 135x10; 125x10; 115x8; 105x8; 95x8; 85x8; 75x8; 65x12
Cable x-over (low to high) - 35x8, 40x8, 45x8
Cable side bend - 100x10, 140x10, 160x10
Cable tricep kickback - 40x8, 45x8, 50x8
Incline smith BP - 115x8, 135x10, 145x8, 155x5
Weighted sit-up - decline - 45 plate
Strength is coming up nicely. Currently snowed in, so the apartment gym was packed with bored people who decided the gym was a good place to kill time. Now I'm no giant but I move a bit of weight and I'm pushing 220. Apparently that merits extended eyeballing, and there were several people doing so, including ultra-resting bitch face chick on the treadmill and extra fat dude doing sit-ups and looking like he would rather be eating a donut.
WO buddy confirmed I was getting eyeballed by multiple people. She claims they are admiring my stellar physique. I find that amusing and difficult to believe, but I'm getting less bitchy and confrontational and more accepting of the eyeballing.
Deads and pulls tomorrow...

I don't have the best eye for coaching, but two things I see would be not to bounce it so much at the bottom and not hyperextend so much at the top. Let the plates come to a stop on the floor briefly each rep and just stand straight at the top.
You're really tall and that seems to change how a conventional deadlift looks compared to an average height guy, a little wider than normal stance seems the way to go. Maybe Doc will have some better insight.
No problem. Also, where do you position your feet in relation to the bar? Looks like you might have the bar out a little too far, you'll want in over around the middle of your foot. Otherwise when you pull you'll have to pull the bar back towards you and it'll make it like a stiff-legged deadlift.
