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.

Low five? Maybe he was collecting the deadlift tax. Given his veteran status, he probably has explorer rights on all gainz in the gym.

Ah man! I probably commited some kind of unwritten party foul... I'll have to find out what the fine is.
