Good session.  I'm taking my work-sets on Deads back to the floor to see if the lingering strain I've got in my low back will be alleviated by it.  I'm writing this 3 days later and it feels MUCH better.  At the same time, I backed it off from deficit sets of 5, to conventional sets of 3 at the same weight, so the work-load was less as well.

155X17 is a Rep PR on BB Rows, and I managed to push the reps on all the sets a tad.  I credit this completely with backing off so much on the deads.

DB Rows similarly benefited.
