This week, I deadlifted 455 lbs (206 kg) for a PR, up from 430 lbs (195 kg) when I last tested about 4 years ago. I've had unusually good consistency the last 3 months, and had decent consistency throughout most of 2024, so I'm glad there's an objective indicator that I'm stronger than ever.

I intend to test all 3 big powerlifting lifts (squat, bench, deadlift) around the end of August to get a sense of my total, and then switch to other fitness goals more aligned with conditioning/cardio, while simply maintaining whatever strength I can.

Nice, that's a huge PR. I've been taking a break from competitive powerlifting and have really enjoyed CrossFit the last couple years believe it or not. There's still lots of strength work but lots of cardio too.
