Treadmill - 30 minutes; incline walking

Whew.  The thought here was to do some work that would benefit the start of my deadlift, to use movements that require less weight, and to use the super-sets to keep moving and help burn some calories.  Super-setting paused Fronts and deficit Deads looks a little nuts now that I'm seeing it written down, but it was quite do-able.  I did tend to get a little dizzy after the deficit sets, though.

205X1 is technically a Rep PR for all Front Squatting, hahaha.

I guess 315 and 335X1 were both also technically Rep PR's for deficit pulls as well.  I'd always done them after regular pulls, and so had only really used 275-295 before.  Yay!  Lots of PRs!

I wanted to at least touch on regular deadlift to keep locking in my form tweaks, so I decided to work up and down.  335 broke off the floor but stopped below the knees, so I cut it there and worked back down and finished up with some sets at 275.

Probably didn't even need to do the treadmill after all of that, sheesh.
