6/5/2013 - Deadlift Day

Warmup with rolling

Deadlift -
135x10
185x10
225x8
275x5 (mixed)
Added mats and plates (2x25, 2xMat)
315x4 (mixed)
365x 6+2 (strapped)
Solidly cutting myself off at 5 before the rest-pause now. Also need to focus more on proper upper back movement while maintaining the lower back (which I'm doing better now, actually).
I'm not sure what I'm going to do RE: mat thickness but I have a feeling that dropping 1.25 inches every week is a poor choice and I should go go for less (2/3 inch?).

Romanians/Stiff Legs:
185x10x5
Glutes dying, hopefully low back as well. I'm liking these again (couldn't do GHRs due to calf tightness, may alternate the two or something). 195lbs next week (going to really hammer my calf tightness so I can hit the GHRs on Saturday).

Barbell Rows:
135x8x5
Bodybuilder-style (except for the first set). Focused on pulling with my elbows to emphasize mid-back stuff (hint from...somewhere, probably EFS). 140lbs next week.

Rollout:
9, 8, 7, 5, 4
Need to work on TVA activation when I do these.

Skipped prehab.
