Comments:

I'm not sure how I got 15 reps on the deadlift.  Rep 6 felt heavy, but I just kept doing "one more."  The bar was coming off the ground easily, but toward the end, my legs would shake like crazy the last half of the lift.  This actually made the lifts even harder, because I won't count a rep I can't lock out, and getting still enough for a lockout took a bit longer.  I knelt on the ground for quite awhile afterward.  This must be what people talk about when they say their CNS is fried. 

I'm almost more proud of my lunges than of the deadlift, though.  After that deadlift, just making myself do the damn lunges was an accomplishment!

I think I'm going to move to single-leg curls.  I think one leg is cheating the other, and my squats and deads are much better when I do a lot of unilateral work.
