RDL - 225X3, 5

BB Rows - 135X10

Awesome session.

For the 305 I was either going to do 3X3 (like I did last week), or 2X4.  I would know which when I hit the 3rd rep of the 1st set at 305.  That rep felt very good, so I hit a 4th.  It was a little slower than I would have liked, but the 2nd set of 4 was even better.  So good, I thought about doing a 3rd, but I'd already planned to add a set to my next movement, so I moved on to make sure I had gas for that.

Speaking of which, the deficit deads felt very good.  Smooth and pretty fast.  Next session, if regular deads go well, I might try to bump these up to sets of 5.

RDLs are feeling better.  Still trying to be super strict with my knee angle.  Managed to get 5 when I went for it on the 2nd set.  Will try for 5 on both sets next week.

Only managed to get 10 again on Rows keeping everything strict and squeezing the rep at the top.
