Higher Reps. Week 4. Deadlift

BW - 208

Deadlift -
135X5, 5
185X5
225X4
275X3
315X2
355X2

1/2" Deficits - 295X5, 5, 5, 5

BB Rows - 155X16, 9, 8, 8
DB Rows - 65'sX12, 12
all rows super-set with
Leg Curls - X20, 16, 15, 12, 12, 12 (straight-weight; same weight as last week)

Solid session.  Regular Deadlifts are just intended as a warm-up for the deficits, but the 315X2 felt so easy that I resolved to pull 355 for a double.  All good.

Conditioning is still the main obstacle with the sets of 5 across on deficits, but it seems to be steadily improving.

155X16 is an all-around PR on Rows.

I tried using a decline bench for the DB rows with my shin against the low end, and my forearm set across the peak.  I believe I was feeling it in my mid back a bit more, so I'll try that a few more times to see.

Supersets continue to have me sweating like a fiend.
