Day Four, Week Two: Deadlifts

I was encouraged by my workout today! I "hitched" 515 up a bit, and would probably have failed in competition. But I managed to lift 535 slowly but consistently upward until I stood completely erect. It was tough, but I think it would have counted in competition. Before today I was worried I would not perform as well in the deadlift when I compete in December; now, however, I think I'll do better!
