So, what does a deadlift session look like when I'm pissed off because squats didn't go well?

Something like this.

Great work Brute! Holy Fn hell!!! Thought your leg hurt....liar ! Congrats on the big PR!

Strong! And perfect rep. You resisted hitching and saw it through.

Hips stayed down in place. Absolutely perfect.

Thanks BtB! Glad that things didn't get too sloppy with the heavier weights.

Thanks Ravi!

Damn good bench session today. Secondary pressing sucked, but i'm ok with that for the next couple weeks.

Changed my grip up on bench, moved it out about half an inch per hand and it felt much, much better. I'm touching lower without getting into awkward positions, feel more chest involvement, and feel that my back stays tighter.

Bench
45 x 10
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 1
245 x 1 - all paused
195 x 10
195 x 8
195 x 7
195 x 5 - paused, but not a long one. Just enough to be 100% certain there was no bounce at all.

DB Row
55 x 3
65 x 3
85 x 3
95 x 3
105 x 20 per arm - hurble burble this is rough

Brute Press
65 x 3 per arm. left arm doesn't like locking out, the shoulder/front delt gets pissy.

DB Curl
50 x 6
50 x 6
50 x 5

Great workout Brute! Findin the bench sweet spot! Keep workin hard bud!!

[Squatter]

I think I might have passed out while switching arms for that 20 repper row. Now I gotta try it! I'm thinking if I copy you on the backwork, maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to make a 500 dead look easy as well.

Nice work on the paused pressing as well. It's a tough lift.

[BendtheBar]

Hopefully that adjustment will propel you past 300.

Strong benching Brute ... DB row 105*20 very very strong ...

Nice deadlifts! What do you got to be so angry about? Aweome rows too!! Killing it.

Good news on the bench. All those little things getting better and better seems to make a big difference in my experience.

Rock on.

[bruteforce]

Thanks everyone

Good deadlift day today. Nothing huge, but got some good work in.

Deads
135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 3
405 x 2 - was going to do time singles but the plates didnt want to stay on. The collars I have are fine for some things, but don't stay on well for any kind of reppage
465 x 2
465 x 2
465 x 3
315 x 5 triples

A powerclean at 135, was going to front squat it, but wrists didn't like it. Another day maybe. I need to figure out something to do after deads that I can do at home though.
