5kg away from double bodyweight deadlift today

Quick training update. I've been feeling lethargic the last couple of weeks so I figured I've peaked with my training cycle. During my last session I deadlifted 97.5kg (213 lbs). Today I decided to just max out and see how much I could lift for one rep. I started off with 100kg (220lbs) and it didn't feel too difficult. So after a 5 minute rest I put on another 5kg. 105kg also felt pretty comfortable. I then went for 110kg. It was a bit more difficult but I managed to do it. Seeing as I weigh 60kg (132lbs) right now, I felt a double bodyweight deadlift was in reach. I bumped it up to 115kg (253lbs). This was damn tough. The back of my legs were quivering while I was lifting, but I did it. I then took a 15 minute rest before attempting a 120kg (264lbs deadlift). The weight didn't move!

Still, I'm happy with my progress so far. I'm going to take a 2 week break from liftig, then get back on it, starting with a much lower weight. If at the end of that cycle I'm able to hit 125-130kg then I'll be happy.
