Just felt like going heavy on the deadlift to see where I was at. The 450 was a harder pull than expected because my left hand started slipping. But for that, I think I'd have had 480, which would have tied a PR. So I've lost much less strength there than I feared.

This was a terrible workout. I tried working pull-ups into my warm-up routine, and I think that hurt me on chins. But the worst was my squat, which just felt terrible almost the entire time. Then something happened when I did the drop set (which I did because I was so pissed). My form changed slightly, my belly pressed out and between my legs at the bottom, and my descent slowed a little at the bottom. All of a sudden, I was stretching my hams instead of my back going. It felt right.

I remembered the way Tuesday's final squats felt, and it made all the difference in the world. I wasn't noticeably stronger - I'll have to keep doing this for awhile before it gets there - but I'll be damned if those squats didn't feel RIGHT!
