I'm taking the next 12+ weeks off from strongman events and training primarily for hypertrophy with a slight strength emphasis. I'm in my "off-season" and looking to put on some size over the upcoming months and into next year. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.
These were supposed to be 18 inch deadlifts. However once I got set up and warmed up I measured the bar and it was at 16.5 inches. I went ahead and left it since I had 405 loaded already and my set up is a pain to change. Apparently I'm pretty weak from this position because these felt heavy and I felt weak. Overall this was a pretty good day though. My lats and biceps were pumped pretty good.
