My training buddy Kartik finally returned to Deadlifts...After training light for 3 weeks, he was insistent on doing a max out session of sorts today...Plus, the video also has my CGBP with 205x3:

Overall Impression:

I checked my weight today. 187 lbs. I was 210 in January. I think I might stop focusing as much on weight loss....I don't want to get any lighter. Ever.
