Its time to bring your "A" game to the table today gents. Nothing fancy today, nothing "new age". Its deadlifts and nothing but deadlifts. Get some chalk and some weight, and some M A N, and hit it up.

This workout should be progressive in nature. In other words, you should work up through the sets until you get to your "true" 5 rep max. Start at about 60% of your 5 rep max, and work your way up from there. Good crisp form, straight back, tight core, and keep your lower back from rounding. Watch the video clips, and then hit it up. Have a great day, and lift some weight!!!

These were my numbers from today:
265/295/315/335/350 5x5 as Rx'd. I probably could have gone about 10-15 more pounds, but the back was getting tired, and I wanted to keep good form throughout. I think 350 for 5 is a PR. Good job to you guys out there today as well. 350 for 5 is 1.8 times my bodyweight, btw. I dont think I would be able to pull 2x bodyweight (380) for 5 just yet, so kudos to you guys that hit 2x bodyweight today.
165/175/185/195/205 as Rx'd. I think I could have pulled off another few pounds. I actually pulled off 265 for my 1 rd max, just over 2.1 times my body weight. Really struggled on it, iffy form for a second but pulled through. Great workout to test my strength, definitely was impressed with my strength to size ratio.
Dead Lift 5x5 as Rx'd:
185/205/225/245/265
Pull Up +35# 5x5
(dead hang and chest to bar)

5x5 295 its all the weight I had.
