Far better than my last session with 255 lbs. Had a good final set, so I did a set of 275 lbs. That also felt solid, but I wasn’t going to shit myself doing more than 3 or make the mistake of ramping the weight further.

After doing high-rep deadlifts, I promptly realized “speed deadlifts” would be a waste of time. I was drenched in sweat and had a massive pump in my back. So, I decided to eat my vegetables and do split squats instead. Deadlifts don’t really put the hips through a full range of motion, so my hips feel “looser” after BSS’s.

I’ve been to the gym at least six days straight. About time I “earned” a rest day.
