Pretty decent day overall. Pissed I missed that deadlift, but I got it to about 3 inches from lockout. I could have hitched it up but decided it would be pointless. That's the first rep I have missed in training since the first week of March. I did cleanly lock out about 575 pounds on the rep before which is pretty awesome for me. I got 10 chin-ups, which is shitty but better than I thought I could do.

Bunch of RDL's and some lunges.

Today sucked balls. I had trouble even getting the bar set right on my back, and everything felt harder than it should. So, I called it a day there rather than hurt myself pushing more. Definitely a bit overtrained. I wanted to do closer to 465 today.

Today felt great! 275 felt light to me, whereas I struggled to hit 2 reps a month ago. 325 was difficult, but I was way below parallel. I though I was stuck for half a second, but pushed through.

On the last rep, when I tried to come out of the hole, instead of goin' up, I just went back until I hit the ground and the bar rolled over my head. lol.

Feeling better about the box squats. I think I'm getting the hip flexor relaxation down. Feeling a lot stronger out of the hole, which is my weak point.
