    Ugh. Warmups were rough, seemed like I barely made 315. Just got stuck in the hole with 345. The sets at 300 were feeling pretty heavy today too.

    Oddly enough, after the shitty squats, rack pulls felt great.

    PR'd my top single. Actually went for a double but couldn't get it. The backoffs were not moving too well and only got 4 in each set.

    Was trying to get 2 sets of 3 but set 2 was getting pretty ugly. Actually tried for 1 more a few minutes later, but not happening today.

    My hip bounce was off and I lost the bar path in the first set. Came back with 3 strong reps in the second set. Too tight on time to make up the missed reps from set 1.

    Barbell rows
    135 x 6
    155 x 4
    175 x 2
    180 x 8 x 3 - repeated weight from last week because I was starting to get too vertical at the end of the set

    Hammer curls
    40 x 8 x 3
    Barbell curls were causing some issues for my wrist and forearm so switched it up this week.

    I've bee on a nice linear path to a 405 deadlift for a while (though my 5's have dropped to 3's) and it's so nice to finally get there. The first two reps were pretty smooth. On rep 3, video replay shows my shins shoving the bar forward so I made it a little harder on myself but put up a good fight and finally locked it out. Did another single, maybe could have got a double but I was already pretty happy with the day.
