Barbell Deadlift Goal...DONE!

• 
  
  
  I am not always thinking the best early in the morning and sometimes have some adding issues when working with the weights.  If you ever see me just standing there at the gym it is because of 1 of two reasons:
  1)  I am resting or 
  2)  I am trying to count up the weighted plates...and trying really hard not to use my fingers as I am counting.  :)
  
  
  Last week I thought I had hit one of my goals.  I came home, added it up and realized I missed the goal by 10 pounds because I didn't add right.  I was a little bit on the bummed out side but decided that I would work on this goal again next week and would just accomplish it then.  
  
  
  Today I was working on the barbell deadlift.  I was adding weights and thinking that I was still under my goal...but it really felt heavier than last week.  My mind was telling me that I had more weight to add on based on my calculations but my body was trying to explain that it was lifting some heavy stuff already today...maybe even more than last week.  As I was recounting again to figure out where I was at for numbers I realized that I had already made my goal.  No wonder it felt so heavy!  I was pretty excited...and then realized that I could do more...so I threw on 10 more pounds.
  
  
  I've been working for over a year to reach this point.  Today was a good day!  Now...what should my next goal for deadlifts be?
