Today started with one very specific question: could I finally pull 500 pounds from the floor?

The answer was 228 kilograms—502.65 pounds.

I worked through 135 × 5, 225 × 3, 315 × 2, and 405 × 1 before taking the shot at 502. Everything locked into place at the top, and after nearly a year of consistently building my strength, I finally had a 500-plus-pound deadlift on the board.

Then I kept training.

Single Dumbbell to Shoulder:
70 LB × 2
85 LB × 1
100 LB × 1
100 LB × 10 in 60 seconds

During that final set, my recently acquired mouthguard launched itself out of my mouth around the 45-second mark. I caught it out of the air, put it back in, and continued while the clock kept running.

Zercher Carry:
215 LB × 50 FT in 15.54 seconds, including a controlled turn at 25 feet

Cable Backward Walk:
70 LB × 90 seconds

Reverse Back Extension:
BW × 15

There was another detail that made this particular training day meaningful to me. I wore my Dolly Parton shirt in memory of a true American treasure.

It seemed like an appropriate day for it.

The 502-pound deadlift already got its own video. This montage is the larger training day around that moment—the PR, the timed work, the carries, the unexpected flying mouthguard, and the work that continued after the biggest lift of my life.

Five hundred pounds is real now.

Wisconsin is next.
