Height: 168cm/5'6".
Weight: 113kg/249lbs.

Sleeping: ~7-9 hours per night.
Eating: ~3500 kcals per day. ~240g of protein per day.
Resting: ~6 minutes after the last warmup.

Weight on the bar: 146kg/322lbs.

At the end of 2024 I attempted 5x150kg but failed. So I reseted the weight a bit and moved the deadlift to Wednesdays on an intermediate program. I was alternating it with power cleans.

I am going to match my previous PR (5x148kg) next week and could use some comments on my form.

I am using the hook grip. I got used to it and feel no pain nor does the bar feel like it is going to slip any time soon. But I have no issues with using straps if you think it would help.

I forgot to mention how I failed the 5x150kg. I failed twice: in the first attempt, the bar didn't even move despite me trying to pull for more than six seconds; the second attempt (next deadlift workout) I managed to get the bar off the floor but it didn't move past my knees.

Just for the hell of it, try the straps.
