Fucked Around With Deadlifts & Got hurt

So I have three videos to show everyone & will drop the links below. One will be my 300 lb deadlift fail, another will be my 295 complete and the final one will be my 245 lb for 3 reps —

Today I was aiming to hit 300 lb and well, I tried it over 20 times over (without adequate resting between sets and aggressively toward the end) to the point where I ended up hurting one side of my lower back/upper hip. Normally I am really good about NOT injuring myself, but today neglected to pay attention to my body and it happened. I could not continue on with the rest of my workout today due to the pain, so hopefully it is only a pulled muscle, a lesson learnt and i’ll be back to lifting normally between tomorrow and Thursday! otherwise, I am doing well for the most part.

Conventional deadlift: 3 x 5, 3, 1

75% of 90% of 1-RM: 195 lb, 3 x 5
85% of 90% of 1-RM: 220 lb, 3 x 3
95% of 90% of 1-RM: 245 lb, 3 x 1+, 3 max reps
1 x 1, 295 lb (completed)
1 x 1, 300 lb (failed attempt)

300 lb deadlift fail video —- > Failed attempt

295 lb one rep completed lifted ——> 295 lb lift

245 lb for 3 reps —- > 245 lb lifting

You can assume I have a love for fitness & a love for Wonderwoman -- both assumptions are correct. I am an ACSM certified personal trainer of 8+ years -- I currently reside in Ohio and live a simplistic life at the age of 29. If I am not lifting, I am eating, sleeping, traveling, exploring, or movie watching. I recently moved during a pandemic, now I am focused on self care (self love), building a business of my own in personal training, becoming a professional blogger, starting a podcast and doing things that make me happy! I am a sister, daughter, and loyal friend --- I love everyone's dog and I am on a mission to pet as many dogs as possible everywhere I go! LOL. My mission is to talk health (physical/mental), design programming, motivational speak, learn, grow, prosper, build others and make as many people smile as possible because I want nothing more than to be the change I seek in the world.
