Can't quite explain what happened. December 24, day before Christmas, and I'm looking to earn my cheat meals. Had the day off and church that night, so other than lifting a little early, everything was the same.
No better way to earn a cheat than to do deadlifts, right. After my usual 10 minute warm-up, i begin my routine. 135 for 20, felt normal. 225 for 15, same as usual. 315 for 12, felt great. Now here is where it gets weird. I usually put on 405 and hit 6 or 8 good ones to finish This time I did 12 with ease. When i was done, i actuall checked to see if i forgot to load the bar. Amazed, I went to 455. Nocked out 10 more. At this time i was amped. Put on another 50 bringing to 505 (my previous estimated max). I put on my go to song by Ill Nino "I am Loco" and cranked it up. Cinched my straps up a little tighter an locked on. Having never had this much weight on before, my entire body was fireing everywhere. I started my descent, hoping my 18 month old bicep tendon repair was going to hold. So far so good, tapped the floor and drove with my heels. Not only did i get it, but managed to get 6 more only stopping for fear of an injury.
I am not sure what had happened or if can ever be explained. It felt like the superhuman strength you hear when people are in survival mode. It may go to show how powerful the human truely is. I just wish there was a way to harness it.
Sorry so long winded, but have any of you had an experience like
this. If so I would love to hear it. Sad part of if is, although I thought I more than earned a cheat day, i still feel "Fat As Shit"!
