Training for the Arnold strongman

This was one of my better training sessions for the deadlift. Ive struggled with this lift for a long time so I was happy with the result yesterday. My back was very tight and sore after but I still managed to do yoke and stones.

Deadlift

my last two sets were 605x2, and 675x5 which was a PR. My goal is to deadlift 725x3 or 775x1 before Canada's Strongest Man in August.

Yoke

550x60ft
640x60ft
790x60ft
880x60ft my back was very tight at this point so I stopped

Stones

380x lapped it 5 times, I couldn't budge it off my lap lol my back was done.

270x10 from lap to 56inches

I feel Im right where I should be in terms of strength, next weekend I will be doing only Yoke and stones. My goal next weekend for the yoke is 900lbsx60ft and the 270lbs sandbag back for 60ft, and the 380 stone for 3-5 reps over a 56inch bar. If all goes well I should be ready for the Arnold where I hope to place top 10.
