Thanks man - totally stole the "bitches" from you! Ya, I was sort of playing around with the idea of accumulating a little volume (cause I'm not advanced enough to really gain from the low volume I did heavy), without doing so much volume that it would over-do it and also burn me out for the DE Bench. So I did 16 total reps in my "work reps" 9 @ 185 (3x3), 1 each at decreasing 10lb increments x 4, then 3 @ 135. Felt good about it afterwards.
thank you, Oldster. I'm going to go for the 505x3 again this week, and that's my last heavy DL before the meet. I'm confident it will go up this time. Thanks for checking out my log!
