Session went better than I expected coming in.  345X3 is a Rep PR, and my phase goal for this weight.  Actually, I've never Deadlifted 345 before, so every rep with that today was a PR, hahaha.  I think I will move up to 355 next week, but I'm a bit on the fence about it, and may play it by ear.  If everything sucks and feels heavy, I might go with 345 again, but shoot for 4 on the first set or 2 sets of 3.  If the 315X2 feels even okay, though, I will go ahead and go for 355X2+.

Deficits felt good after the first set.  That seems to happen with these sometimes; that the first set feels rougher than the others.

RDLs actually felt pretty strong.  Time to start pushing them to sets of 10.

The jump my rowing strength took the last couple of weeks seems to have solidified pretty well.  Time to start thinking about either upping the weight, or adding another set at this weight and see if I can push it to 3 sets of 10+.
