I hit a 4 plate (405lbs/183kg) deadlift for 5 reps the other day. When I finished, a fellow gym bro dapped me up and said “nice job, you’re strong.” I wasn’t really looking for compliments, but it was definitely a great feeling!
Thanks! I don’t compete, but I’ve always thought about it. I think I might be too old to start lol I’m 31 and am really just trying to see how strong I can get before my body doesn’t let me do it anymore

That’s a solid lift! Do you compete?

I did my first meet at 34. My friend has been setting records in his late 50s. You have a lot of years of lifting left.
Oh shit! Well that’s promising hah thank you, that gave me a little jolt of optimism
