Session

Deadlifts felt super heavy today and it could be for a variety of reasons. I made the same mistake as Monday here and came into my first few sets WAY mellow. I was not even paying attention and when I jumped from 405 to 505 (100lbs) I did not use chalk or a belt, this made my adductors hate me and messed with my motivation to train a little bit. It took the majority of my working sets to get my head out of my butt and get things moving, ill say only 2 sets felt "good" here. One of those sets was not even recorded as my phone decided to die (which will be a thing come Mondays training as you will see. Yes, I just referred to the future.
