2014-05-02 Deadlift

Warmup, with some lat pulldowns

Deadlift -
135x5
170x5
205x5
240x5
275x5
310x5
345x5
385x5, 5, 4 (5F)
315x1
Technique is king here - I lost my lat engagement on the later reps. The bar swung out a bit later on set 3, and that plus resting the bar fully on the ground probably cost me the 5th rep.
I went scared cat/Bob Youngs style on that one; I got it past my knees, but the total loss of back position made it impossible to lock out.
I'm going to push my workouts back an extra day or so for extra recovery, do some recovery deads over the next few days, eat a bit more today, and probably take deadlift days off work so I can pull in the evenings next time.
