Deadly Deadlifts with a Side of Blackout

I felt groggy as fuck today, it was hard to get out the door and to the gym. I cut out a lot of the day's assistance, not just because of how I'm feeling, but because I'm changing the structure of my program leading up to the meet and wanna be fresh for Squats. From here, I'll be Squatting on Monday, Benching on Tuesday and Deadlifting on Friday - with very moderate assistance. Despite being tired, strength was past the bar. Today's Power Cleans were ugly as all hell, but the bar felt super light. Deadlifts went pretty damn good today, I worked up to my opener weight of 385 and hit 5 reps with that. The last one was round back city, but that's one more target down and I'm happy about it! The most fun part was my first Front Squat hold of the day. I didn't notice that the bar was choking off my carotid artery until I was stumbling around dizzy and reality was in slow motion. Now that's my kind of party!!

And thus, there were Deadlifts:
