Great pulling. As always, the last looked nearly as fast as the first.[/quote]
I try to never step over the bar but right then I wasn’t sure where I was going…
The lockout of that last one was most difficult but off the floor hasn’t been a problem on 5-3-1. Interestingly enough, I’ve always failed breaking a DL off the floor when failing on a max attempt.

Feeling beatup today. I think that I need to allow myself 2-3 days in between deads day and bench day but this week my schedule wouldn’t allow it. I complete the week on Tuesday and then fly east to visit my parents for 10 days. I’m also attending my 30th reunion. The first one I’ve attended, should be interesting.
SD, You gave it all you had. Great job! Enjoy your time off. Watch out for all those gals that din’t have time for you 30 years ago looking to put a notch in their panties! Don’t forget the Extenze.

That 180x2 was solid. Enjoy the deload. I love the bounce afterwards.
