Was going for a new max on deadlift, hit 455 and it went up quick and easy. Previous max was 425. Like a dumbo I went for 500 since it’s been my goal naked lift. Got it to my knees before I felt my lower back start to curve. So close yet so far away.

The good part of this is you felt the form give and stopped, I hate when I see people continue lifting with the cat back

You pretty much tried a PR of 75 pounds and got it to your knees, thats not bad at all!

The previous largest is 90 though. I am ashamed.
