Comments: Kind of a mixed bag workout and I'm trying to focus on the positives. Week kind of got off to a stressful start right out of the gates. I worked up to 315lbs double overhand and I gave it a shot with 365lbs but put it back down half way up the first pull. Grip isn't that good. While 550lbs is PR for most I've deadlifted on either barbell or thick bar, I was expecting more. I have to remember that this Williams Strength axle is stiff as hell and has no give like the pipe ones and hollow one's I've used in the past. I also should be thrilled I got 570lbs so close both times, hell getting off the ground is a big step forward. Kind of killed me for the down set but it still is the first time I've repped 500lbs. Zerchers felt really tough until I got to 395lbs and 435lbs felt even easier. A good change from last time when I failed at getting a third rep. I was tempted to go for another set but thought better of it. Forgot my loading pin to do Bavarian lifts and tried to jerry-rig something up but it broke as soon as I did my first rep. So I went heavy on hip thrusts instead. Barbell situps were bothering my right palm so I may need to ditch that exercise too. A little more experimentation and thinking and I've have my new training set-up ready to go.
