Deadlift - 275x1x1

Was able to perform 1 single at 275 and couldn't get it above the knee a second time. Took 4 tries at it and counted to 5 each time before setting the bar down. Followed up with drop set. Hopefully the partials were enough stress that next time I can do 2 or 3.

Deadlift - 235x5x3

Taking a few days off for some oral surgery. Will go back to traditional SS NLP three day programming next Monday, April 29, 2024

[Eric17]

After some sporadic workouts, oral surgery and travel for a graduation the past three weeks, it is time to get back at it.
