Wow. Only two things went right. 365x1 double overhand felt more solid, and 425 is my all time highest deadlift. But I was expecting 3 reps and hoping for 4. Attempted second rep only got a half inch off the floor.

Worked on back angle per Rip's latest video. Easy enough at this weight.

A little pressed for time but not too bad. Still getting used to the more horizontal back angle.

Much better tightness at the bottom. First rep of each set felt like it shot up.

I guess it's going to be heavy singles from here on out. At least the backoff set was better than last time.
