RDL’s:
2x8 @ 225–these are way too hard compared to how they used to feel. Doing them after deadlifts and pulls is killing me. I’ll have to drop the weight again next time because I’m struggling to feel anything in my hamstrings. It also sucks combo-setting them with pull-ups.

I tried to keep this workout at an hour or less but failed. I managed to get it finished in about 75-80 minutes. Unfortunately, I did not do any hip abduction/adduction work or conditioning. These workouts are looooonng and I’m beginning to wonder if I should change my approach. To have a complete recovery day I cram in all of my back training + abs + conditioning (on a good day) but it makes for a long day. Perhaps I could save abs and my hip work for tomorrow (rest day). I’ve actually considered having four back days in a week too. I’d do deadlifts and high pulls on Monday, my strength/bodybuilding work for back on Tuesday, Push workout on Wednesday, Deadlifts and pulls on Thursday, strength/bodybuilding for back on Friday, and a Push workout on Saturday. I know that’s crazy but it seems doable in my head! I’m fighting the urge to do that. I’ll figure out something though. The only reason today even stuck out as being a long day is because my wife is home and I lifted in the basement. I have no problem with 2 hour sessions when I’m at the Y and she’s at work.
