COMPETITION LOG - 2017 S&C Deadlift Comp

I did very little significant deadlifting from Feb 2016 until my 1RM test. I mostly focused on front squats for a few months leading into it. I figure I could just do front squats in order to slowly increase my DL max. However I really want a 600 lbs deadlift before I die, so I should probably incorporate it somewhere.
 
Pulled on the trap bar today. Would've been cool to pull 4 plates but 385 was 1RM territory. I don't actually know what this bar weighs. 80-lbs written on it. Website says 60-lbs. I put it on a unreliable scale and it weighed in at 72-lbs. Sooooo idk. Probably closer to 400.

Notes: Deads felt heavier than I would've liked. Been working a lot this week and haven't been getting enough sleep, got the reps I wanted though so I guess I can't complain too much.
 
Decided that I might as well log squats and front squats here too as they seem relevant. Dealing with some elbow issues, so my squat is now at a much lower bar position.

Squats
Up to 405 lbs x 5
*Squats feel really weird with this positioning. The weight feels heavy at unrack and walkout, however, I'm moving it out of the hole very quickly. I actually think I may be stronger overall with this setup after I get used to it.

Front Squat
355 lbs x 1 x 3
*I expected these to feel awkward and hard, but they moved very quickly.

Deadlift
Up to 480 lbs x 2
 
Actually did some deadlifts, working on positioning aka not hyperextending my low back and putting excessive strain on my hamstrings.

80kgx1
100kgx1
120kgx1

Are you doing the prescribed accessory work for the program as well?

No I'm not, so I guess I'm not really doing the program, but am finding what I am doing beneficial so far. Depending on how this week's session goes, I may need to adjust my desired max though.

Yeah, I changed the speed work a little bit, but I'm doing all the accessory lifts. Not quite sure what to think of the program yet.

Well, you and I are at vastly different stages of our deadlift progression, so I'd imagine it would take quite a bit to eek out any extra lbs / kgs on yours. I'm coming back from time off following an operation, and was / am a shitty deadlifter anyway, so near enough any program should add to my deadlift.

A lot of accessory work like curls are anything that is not straight up or straight down just hurts too much. Even typing with my arm bent on my phone hurts it

Try grip work - you may have an imbalance where the upper arm is stronger than the forearm musculature.
