Deadlift Day at the Refuge

Did some high band Deadlifts at the Refuge, this was my first time using bands to deadlift. The idea is to give you a little help off the ground and then from mid-shin to lock-out its actual weight.

My current PR is ~ 365 and today I did three singles with 405lbs, 1 x 425lbs and just missed two attempts with 435lbs. Doing the deadlifts with the bands, showed me a couple of things, 1) my grip is strong enough to pull over 420lbs and I can lock-out over 420lbs. Going for a 375lbs PR means I just need to get it off the ground!!!
