18" Trap Bar Deadlifts

I stood on 45lbs plates today to increase the range of motion slightly. My lower back has been bothering me recently so of course I foolishly pushed myself much more than I should have. If my back can't keep up with me then I'll leave it behind. 

Light Stretches. 

18" Trap Bar Deadlifts - 135lbs/12 reps, 235lbs/12 reps, 335lbs/12 reps, 435lbs/12 reps, 505lbs/12 reps.



Since that felt like it almost killed me I decided to stop there. It really started to suck after the fifth rep. I was determined to get twelve reps. There's still plenty of fight in the old dog yet.
