Join my strongman journey and see all of my workouts on FerraxisWorks.com July 23, 2026 Deadlift day at the UIUC ARC climbed steadily from 135 to 355 pounds, with the top single landing at RPE 8. My current deadlift personal record is 385 pounds. This was not a max attempt or a new-PR claim. It was a controlled progression session that showed me there is more strength available when the right time comes to test it. After the 355-pound single, I completed two triples at 325 pounds with RPEs of 6 and 6.25. I then moved into ISO lateral kneeling leg curls to continue building the hamstring strength supporting the pull. The work is becoming heavier, but it is also becoming more controlled.
