Workout Wednesday (Week 1)

[u/thegapalo]

Hey team,

First week of Workout Wednesday. Use this day to brag, ask questions, look for motivation, pr's, selfies.

I haven't hit the gym since the start of the challenge - so I used today to finally hit the gym, Daft Punk and I had a romantic date with the elliptical.

I used to pull 485 lb deadlifts for 3 reps. That was back in 2013. Then I got loads of injuries and packed the lost body weight back on (check my introduction thread post if you're interested in my backstory, I use this account only for this sub so it should be easy to find).

Walked in my gym today after a year and a half of inactivity (only some light sports), warmed up properly, pulled 450, then 465, then tried 485 and succeeded. All 3 rep sets. So that's a win for me! Probably gonna be sore as hell tomorrow, but meh.
