SQ - 365x1, 325x3x5

Weights continue to move up here. No upper body work as wanted to save arms for DL tomorrow and then I'll try some upper body stuff.

DL - 445x1, 365x3x5

I think my new nickname should be Walter "One Lift" Palmer. Arm really bothering me. A set of 8 BP with empty bar and it could be felt. A couple of hours of yard work afterwards will not likely help.

Coming along. I miss this variation, definitely doing again when the high bar stops progressing.

DL - 455x1, 385x3x3

Heavy single was RPE 8 and the triples were probably just shy of the RPE 9 target. Making progress. More importantly, my Dad celebrated his 78th birthday by pulling a new PR of 320 lbs. at bodyweight of 165 lbs. - Dad - Deadlift PR of 320 lbs. - YouTube

That is really, really cool.

I hope you can continue to get some good work in before you have to travel again.
