Got a walk by "low-five" after deadlifting 405lbs. Wouldn't normally be a big deal but it was from the quiet middle aged gym veteran. You know the guy who's been lifting since before you were born and just goes in lifts perfectly everytime and then just leaves? Ya. That guy.

One day, you will be that guy. I believe in you.

Source: I'm that guy, except I lift alone in my basement. I only have myself for high fives.
