Notes: Hmm, for some reason felt a bit off today. Form didn’t feel right on the 275 set, and was also having issues with grip. I’ve come to the conclusion that I like lifting weights that I can really accelerate. The 315 sets didn’t feel bad per se, just slow, and off. I think my deadlift days will now look like:
