Congrats on the 405, you'll have 5 plates in no time.

That's what my partner has been saying to me as well. It's just so hard sometimes to decide not to deadlift after you fall in love with exercise. I am going to take a break from them in the upcoming week however, and might decide to pull every other week as well. We'll see how it goes though, cuz it's one of my favorite exercises.

500 for 10!!! Holy crap, you must let out a big when you pull 405!!! Damn I need to get my numbers up

Yeah, it gave me quite the mental rush as well. I remember as soon as I did it I almost wanted to try to do it again, lol. At this point though I'm trying to work back into lifting heavy again, hopefully I'lll be able to do it again soon.

I'm 5'11, so I'm not exactly on the taller side. But I have short legs which I feel gives me a slight advantage when it comes to deadlifting and squatting.
