So Close, Yet So Far

Quick update today about lifting.

I went for a PR(Personal Record) of 180 KG (397 pounds) for 5 reps today. 180kg has been my deadlift goal, and is a number I was hoping to hit by the end of the year. It looks like I should be able to lift it soon even though I only got 3 up.

180kg is important because it marks a 4th "wheel", or 4 of the large plates on either side of the bar (8 total). Also I put on another 2.5kg somehow and am tipping the scales at 106.5kg(235lbs) now. That means I've gained close to 40 pounds in only 3 months without going up even a single belt loop.

Below is a video of the failure.
