Comments:

That deadlift only really got challenging for my grip.  I'll be interest to keep pushing the weight there to see what happens, but it's a great grip endurance workout.  I'm noticing with all my workouts that my later lifts are starting to struggle, which I think is good - it means I'm learning how to go really hard on the key exercise for the day, leaving not as much for the others.  That's fine by me.

Boxing with the new gloves is a totally different experience.  This was my second heavy-bag session with them, and they already feel broken in.  I shifted to two-minute rounds for awhile so that I can go harder and not let me technique break down.  I've gotten a little wild in the last minute of some rounds, and suffered a few minor tweaks as a result.  I'll stick to 2:00 until my technique solidifies.
