Deadlift Meet Day

Last time to deadlift heavy before my stay in Canada. Better make it a good one. It was :-)

Me and a weightlifting buddy used the Charles Poliquin warm-upprotocol to make sure to get the most out of this meet.

Here's what I did:

2x
[4x62kg
10 seconds rest]
3x102kg
30 seconds rest
2x122kg
1 minute rest
1x132kg
2 minutes rest
1x136kg
2 minutes rest
1x142kg
3 minutes rest
1x152kg
4 minutes rest
1x162kg (PR)
4 minutes rest
1x172kg (PR)

NOTES:
-We used paralletes to rest the bar on so we could loop the kettlebell (32kg) around the center of the bar, using a towel as a wedge between the bar and the kettlebell.
We stood on 2 10kg rubber plates, which leaves us about 1-2" higher than an official height deadlift. (bar is 20cm from floor)
-Chalk proved to be very useful for maintaining a good grip. First time I used chalk and I liked it. Got the idea from Anthony DiLuglio's Minute of Strength newsletter.
