Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5

Errr, lifting this morning on 3 hours of sleep.. kind of hard. Wasn’t hungover, but i thought pukie might visit me before a couple sets, more a function of the party than the lifting, I think, but probably a combination.

223/243/253/253/253

I stayed at 253 because it was clear I was at my limit. My last rep on the last set blew horribly.

Wasn’t sure what the ‘rule’ was on resting with the deadstop. for a back squat or something you have to hold the bar during the whole five so that is easy, but since you have to grip and regrip and reset your back etc on the deadlift I am a bit confused. When the loads got really heavy I was doing more like sets of singles with little rest, where I’d do a lift, put the bar down, stand up for a second or two, then get back on the bar. Was that cheating?
