Week 3, Day 1 - Deadlifts & Back (w/Video)

I'm currently training for USS "Hope for the Holidays" strongman push/pull competition in December. I'm working with Mike Mastell and training focus is strength with some hypertrophy emphasis.

Notes:

-Everything felt great this day. Deadlifts moved fast, block pulls felt solid and I really hammered the rest of my back.
