Ungrateful deads . . .

Deadlifts

5x185
5x185
5x185
5x185
5x185

Last attempt was 12/31/07, 5x5x155. So new 5x5xlbs max.

This is odd, since last "increase" progression was 5x up to 231. I seem to 1) increasing strength fairly rapidly, now that I'm, oh, working on it, or 2) I just needed to get some form issues out of the way, in order to work up to decent weights.

My goal for 2008 is a 275lb dead lift. I'm at 5 x 231. I know that has to translate to something, like oh, I don't know, a 250-260 one rep dl, but I don't know. I mean, if I can do 5 at that weight, I should be able to do one at 20-30lbs higher.
