Block 10, Wave 3 - DL

Today was a continuation of the suck of yesterday, but with added excrement at every turn.  This is the first week of the semester with exams and projects due to I'm guessing the combo of increased work and stress with a solid 3 months of training since my last deload in mid December has sent my recovery into the crapper.  There was literally no reason for me to miss my last set of tugging today based on my recent training, so I'll take a hint and deload next week.  Also, I managed to ram my right big toe into the edge of the deadlift platform which caused it to feel broken (again) for the rest of training (and the next 3 days).  This might have affected my tugs somewhat, but I don't think enough that it would have caused me to miss weights.

3x8x315 + short minis - All beltless with full stop between reps.

Reverse Hypers/KB Bent Presses

3x{15x250/10ea x 35} - The bent presses lit up my obliques, as intended.

Sled Push

10x100' x sled + 115 - This was a minute faster than I did with 25 less pounds last time.  I'm glad something improved today in training, but why the hell did it have to be conditioning?
