Comments:
I wondered about deadlifting in warm-up pants, but damn that was nice! No messed up shins and it slid up pretty smoothly! These felt really good today. Where as 245 was pretty heavy last week, it was fairly light today, so I decided I’d go to the 3 rep max I’d set earlier this year. Next week I will be busting through that max and going for 275.
Lunges were good, but I found myself getting off balance as I went along. I need to figure out why that is. Perhaps just my setup or it’s some kind of weakness.
On Dimels I lowered the weight and concentrated on popping through and squeezing the glutes while I came through. Still a sore lower back, but I will probably feel this a bit more in the glutes and hammies.
